What She Knew

The newest Anti-Hillary book is released today. Yippee.

Conservative groups are promoting a Hillary Rodham Clinton biography that hits bookstores Tuesday as a work so damning it could destroy any possible bid for the presidency in 2008.

The 305-page book, "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President," by Edward Klein, portrays the New York senator as a ruthless and ambitious woman who would stop at nothing to protect her husband's presidency and promote a Clinton II administration headed by her.

While promotional material from Sentinel books, a conservative imprint launched by the Penguin Group, promises a work that "contains shocking new accounts of key moments in Hillary Clinton's private and political life," the book relies heavily on earlier works about the former first lady.

Let's not forget to temper our annoyance of thisw publication [ from the same house that put out the Swift Boat Veteran's Anti-Kerry book ] by checking out David Brock's Media Matters for America for some analysis of the book. Remember as well that Brock was enlisted by the uber-right publishing machine essentially to write this slander feast about Hillary, but instead published what most claim to be a decent and balanced portrayal of a powerful and conflicted woman. The backlash against Brock for not publishing a truly slanderous book was one of many motivating factors in his defection from the young Conservative Elite.
