WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

The Dems have arranged book publication as part of the campaign. Clarke was a nobody. No one had heard of him. The Dems orchestrated the invitation from the commission -- probably through a Dem member of the commission -- and also orchestrated the coordination with the publication schedule.

We must not let this happen again. Book Publication lets them define the news cycle. Authors are invited to come on TV and talk about their accusations and then suddenly it becomes news to say "The White House once again came under fire from a new book and its author who says . . . .

It's an excellent Dem tactic and it needs a counter.

Rove needs to be inside the various publishers to see what is coming next. And where are our own books in transit?

O'Neill's book has sold 35 copies so far. I expect Clake's will do as well.

This will be old news by November--everyone I know is sick of it already and Clarke hasn't change a thing with his testimony or his book.

The bottom line of Clark is this: The nerve of this guy pointing a finger at an administration that was struggling to get it's members in place after seven months when he was the one in charge of counterterrorism for 30 years. What has he done to make us safer?

P.S. Simon and Shyster published Hillary's book; they and CBS are owned by Viacom. S&S don't publish conservative books. None. Keep that in mind--and pass it on.

Rs have to quit stepping in it. They just don't get that the election is a WAR to the rats. (Of course they could not care less about the WOT...)
