& finally, Hilary bashing...

But tell you what...when PW (Publishers Weekly) reviews a book and bashes it, both publisher and writer cringe. That's a normal reaction. However, Repubs who are Hilary haters have no concern with what's true and what isn't...just like their leaders, BushCo.

Does the Truth About Hillary Book Stand Up to the Press?

After the fan-flaming pre-publication press from both sides of the spectrum regarding Ed Klein's THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY, at least two reports based on the book itself are discernibly cooler. Today's Washington Post remarks: "The 305-page book relies so heavily on previously reported information about Clinton -- sometimes the author repeats rumors and then footnotes them to a prior author who referenced the rumors -- that new, corroborated news seems slight.

One of Klein's major contentions is that Hillary Clinton knew about Monica Lewinsky's relationship with her husband more than two years before their relationship became public, but Klein doesn't have the goods. Instead, he relies on one anonymous Democratic National Committee staffer, who herself doesn't seem to have firsthand or even secondhand information."

A PW review expresses similar conclusions: "It will not, as has been hoped or feared, do for any Clinton presidential campaign what Unfit For Command did for the Kerry one. This clip+paste job by a former editor of the New York Times magazine is unlikely to change a single mind, let alone vote.... Those who like her won't find their minds changed by any of the ersatz revelations in this ultimately uninteresting book.... Klein seems intent on rehashing the rehash in this too-boring-to-even-be-execrable title."
