BBC Article - "Detractors divided over Hillary Book"
"The online bookshop Amazon helpfully tells customers ordering The Truth About Hillary what those who have bought the rather salacious book about Mrs Clinton have purchased in the past.

At the top of the list is Unfit For Command, a book which claimed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry lied to get his Vietnam medals. It is widely held to have damaged the Massachusetts senator's campaign.

Those keen to avert a second Clinton presidency hope The Truth About Hillary, a collection of old and new claims about the former First Lady's marriage, sexuality and burning ambition, by veteran journalist Edward Klein, will do for the senator for New York what Unfit for Command did for Mr Kerry.

<snip>

"This book," according to a review in the influential Publishers Weekly, "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 and paste job," it continued, "is unlikely to change a single mind, let alone vote." "

Wow, they couldnt be more wrong in that last paragraph there. It is a book that definately intends to destroy Hillary the same way that Unfit For Command destroyed Kerry.

2. But he wants the author to get rich

from his lies doesn't he? "Let's not talk about something by talking about it...". S.O.P. that the sleazemerchants/liars get away with all the time. I can't personally stomach it anymore.

3. Hannity pressed Klein on his sourcing and methods and Klein had a melt
down.

If you're a Clinton-hating journo who's written a book designed to hurt Hillary, and you can't handle Sean Hannity's questions . . .
