Hillary Clinton clearly wanted to use her Hard Choices book tour to ‘reset’ her public image in preparation for a presidential run in 2016. Instead, she revived the enduring aspects of Clintonianism, in which word parsing and flat-out fabulism — remember the Tuzla Dash? — are used to create alternative realities that Bill and Hillary Clinton want the media to promote. And just as she did in the weeks following her Tuzla Dash claim, facts, common sense, and media scoffing have forced Hillary into the well-known Clinton fallback of “clarification”: “Let me just clarify that I fully appreciate how...

Hillary Clinton has not experienced any sustained after-effects from the concussion that sidelined her from her work at the State Department in late 2012 and early 2013, the former secretary of state told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview in advance of the release of her new memoir, “Hard Choices.” “No lingering effects,” Clinton told Sawyer, when asked whether she had experienced any. “No,” Clinton affirmed, when asked whether she still notices effects of any kind. The first piece of the interview with Clinton will air tonight on ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer,” and the full interview...

Hillary Clinton, in a chapter from her forthcoming book "Hard Choices," rails against congressional Republicans for politicizing the deadly attack on the American diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, writing that “I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans. It’s just plain wrong, and it’s unworthy of our great country." Sources close to Clinton confirmed that an excerpt obtained by Politico was authentic. In it, Clinton gives a detailed account of the incidents surrounding the attack in a chapter entitled “Benghazi: Under Attack.” “Those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political...

Political-memoir names: so cliche that they're bound to repeat. Hillary Clinton's upcoming memoir, which is expected to look back at her time as secretary of State, now has a name: Hard Choices. Which is an okay title! She no doubt had to make some tough decisions while at State, and has at least one big decision to make coming up in the next year or so. But the former Cabinet member and possible future presidential candidate may have been better served by a different title—like, say, Tough Decisions. Because Hard Choices has already been used. By another former secretary of...

Klein says he was booked on a number of television shows and, with the exception of Lou Dobbs of CNN and Sean Hannity of Fox News, he has been cancelled everywhere else. Klein’s critics point to his use of anonymous sources throughout the piece. HE: What do you think about the people who say, “It’s a great book, but he used people who weren’t willing to go on the record and so that discredits his book”? Klein: “Well, they don’t say that about Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein about Watergate do they? …If you’re writing about someone who is extremely...

This is the week that the publicity begins for Ed Klein's new blockbuster book, "The Truth About Hillary." Vanity Fair publishes an excerpt on Wednesday – and the New York Post has written about it today. Of course NewsMax had the book first – over the weekend. Yesterday in New York City, Hillary slammed the GOP for being "messianic." We have to wonder if perhaps it is getting too hot for her in the 'political kitchen'? Because Ed Klein and I are friends, we have been talking about this book for almost two years. Over frequent lunches with our mutual...

Sinking fast. After the lemmings bought their copy (never to be opened) who's left to buy "Lying History?" Not many people, apparently.
