“Best person” at a wedding. God help us.

Notice that Knopf is publishing this book a year-and-a-half before the 2008 election, giving Hillary and her wrecking crew plenty of time to pooh-pooh Bernstein's efforts, and also giving her some time to trot out her stock, "Oh, that's old news!", answer to every question about discrepancies in her public accounts of her life.

Nice work, Knopf...

for later

Have any of these clowns figured out shes’s had 2 terms already? You can damn sure bet that she counts herself as a 2 term president.

[msmagoo54]

Yes, this could be really fun. I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy.

[LdSentinal]

You are 100% correct.

[billhilly]

She will take his best punch, which may not amount to much, and her spinners will continue to massage the willing media dupes.

The Queen may someday be quoted in history as saying, “So, let him eat Monica.”

[freekitty]

He has written a book to make money about something we already knew?

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

BERNSTEIN HASN’T GOT ANY COJONES AT ALL UNLESS HE TELLS THE WORLD WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO VINCE FOSTER AND RON BROWN.

SEMPER FI,

[BARLF]

I have no need to read the Bernstein book. Having lived through eight years of the Bill and Hill presidency I know all I need to know about these two liars.

[ExSES]

The book could revive the explosive charge, made earlier this year by David Geffen, a former Clinton donor and Hollywood mogul, that “the Clintons lie with such ease, it’s troubling”.

Isn't this the hallmark of the consummate politician???

[SevenofNine]

Did I hear right once but did Mark Furman try get book together do murder investigation on Vince Foster REMEMBER I think I read on FR

Can you imagine try take on Former LAPD cop she get a*** kick I AM SO Cal resident SO CAL Residents don’t want mess with LAPD current or Former if you valve your life

[StarFan]

He stops short of accusing the New York senator of blatantly lying about her past, but has unearthed examples of where she has played fast and loose with the facts about her “personal and political life”, according to Knopf.

Well well well and may I add I'm stunned to think he'd be critical of Hillary. Guess Bernstein will have as much success promoting his book on 60 Minutes/Larry King Live as did Bernie Goldberg.

[Thebaddog]

Don’t waste your time or your money. The hype is always better than the facts. I’m betting that Hillary’s people are going over the book as we speak to sanitize it.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

I remember the book, Partners in Power. As I recall the noted author Roger Morris set out to expose all the lies being spread about the Clintons. He learned otherwise and quickly became the "unknown" author -- oh well, at least he avoided Fort Marcy Park.

Future headline? "Watergate journalist found dead in Fort March Park. 'Suicide.' Multiple gunshots to neck and head puzzle some."

[TexasKate]

I bet this book is very favorable towards Hillary. Do you think her best friend would give Bernstein access to something that would hurt Hillary. This is definitely Clintonian. Take something that might be somewhat unfavorable and then leak info about how bad it will be. Then when the real story comes out and its not that bad it just blows over. Remember how Clinton screamed and threw a temper tantrum while being interviewed under oath with Ken Starr. Then we saw the actual thing and it was a different story.

He stops short of accusing the New York senator of blatantly lying about her past...

Coward. Calling her a liar would not be an accusaton but merely stating fact.

the legendary Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein

Legendary?

The guy was a beat writer hack, who was going to be fired from his job, when he got the break (in) of a lifetime.
