I have no doubt she knew about Flowers and frankly believe she knew about Lewinsky. My point in citing it was that Bernstein doesn’t seem to be walking on egg shells where she’s concerned and his book just may be hard hitting.

[ken21]

yep.

I respect you, but this is where it falls apart. Bernstein is part of Woodstein. His jounalistic credentials and his entree into Washinton parties are the bones he made on the Richard Nixon story. He will never give that up. Bernstein may say some unpleasant things in the book about Hillary, but in the end, it is meant as a pressure release valve for her upcoming "hard hitting press" questions. It's almost like painting iodine over a bandage.

I’m with the majority of folks who are totally skeptical Bernstein’s book is some kind of steaming expose’ on Hillary. My bet is this will contain just enough rehashed fodder to take fools’ money, but nothing that will do harm to Her Majesty. In fact, I bet it will help to help sympathetically pave her way to the White House.

“Poor Hillary, she’s still being trashed for Bill’s sins.”

[kcvl]

I guarantee you this book will be more favorable to Hillary Clinton than 'hard hitting'. This is nothing more than a press release to get people to buy the book.

I don't think Bernstein would write anything unfavorable to the Clintons, ever and especially not while Hillary is running for President. I'm not falling for it!

Fake phony fraud that about sums up heinous Hillary

[kellynla]

Lefties not only abort their children, they eat their own. LOL

[yoe]

One writer who has crossed swords with Clinton advises Bernstein to watch his back. “She has the most powerful war machine that has ever been developed and it is led by people who have been to hell and back.”

Mobbed up? You bet....not the typical Mafioso but one very much like it.

NO THIRD TERM FOR THE CLINTONS!!

That doesn’t surprise me. I wish these people would go to jail for 50 years and get it over with....sigh.

"The Sunday Times has learnt that Bernstein has been given unprecedented access to the private papers of Diane Blair, Clinton’s closest friend and confidante, who died of lung cancer aged 61 in 2000. The collection is still being sorted at the University of Arkansas library and is not yet available to the public...Blair, a professor of political science, crisscrossed the country with the Clintons in 1992, serving as a senior adviser and semiofficial historian of the campaign. She became friends with Hillary in the political backwater of Little Rock, Arkansas, in the 1970s, when the two East Coast-educated power women sought each other out as soulmates." "Soulmates"??? Does that mean what I think it means?? Is that what they're calling it nowadays?? Oy!! =:-O

[Beckwith]

I'm stunned to think he'd be critical of Hillary

Hussein supporter.

[StarFan]

I’ll concede to both of you and trust my initial instinct that the timing of the book is suspect. Guess I was clutching at straws hoping he’d reveal truths that the ‘tough’ NY press never bothered to ask when she ran for the Senate. I’ll go to my corner now but with fingers still crossed, LOL.

[YaYa123]

Keep those fingers crossed....and watch for flying pigs.

Did you watch FOX & Friends this morning. Evidently folks are already poking giant holes in George Tenet’s book.

[Living Free in NH]

Possible headline in the very-near future???

Carl Bernstein Found Dead

[redstates4ever]

“When [Diane] Blair was diagnosed with lung cancer, Clinton was running for the Senate in New York. In her memoir, Living History, she writes about seeing her friend for the last time in an Arkansas hospice. “She pressed my hand tightly and whispered to me, ‘Don’t ever give up on yourself and what you believe in. Take care of Bill and Chelsea. They need you. And win this election for me’.”

B.S. ALERT!

Leave it to a Clinton to take the death of a “dear friend” and twist it into a lie for their own aggrandizement.

[CDHart]

What are you trying to say here?

He better not fly or go near Fort Marcy Park.

Or, is this supposed to be a hard hitting piece on Hillary that turns out to be a dud to defuse any other inquiries?
