I agree he’s a loser, but are you sure he was going to be fired? I never heard anything about that . . .

H. Clinton and the rest of the Congressional Democrats are traitors. They are giving aid and comfort to the enemy by announcing that the United States has lost the war on terror and will stop fighting. The Congressional Democrats are now directly responsible for more of our troops being killed or wounded in action.

“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.”

Some of her people CAME from HELL.

Off topic:

>>
Bernstein, who was played by Dustin Hoffman in the film All the President’s Men,
<<

An example of what I call “co-credentialing”, where one liberal of note gives an award to another liberal, who in turn passes praise on a third. The award itself is molded for the particular occasion, and is mostly just nonsense. What counts is that all are mutually boosted by the shared glory.

I realize there is no direct award here, except for the attention the MSM is giving the book. In this case the importance of Berstein is elevated because a well known actor once played a part loosely patterned after him. (An actor is a person who is skilled at portraying other people, and may not otherwise have any intellectual abilities.)

Berstein is, in a perverse sort of way, also able to bask in the glow of Hillary’s fame and Importance even though he has uncovered some Inconvenient Truths about her background.

“Red faced, irate Clinton” alert.

They are just hyping her book. He will not hit her with any punches. Pre-launch expectation control.

It is a story I heard years ago. A quick google produced this bio (among others):

Was Carl Bernstein going to be fired?

I am not familiar with this website though.

“This is definitely Clintonian.”

It does have that feeling about it.

Joe Klein, the bestselling author of Primary Colors, recounted how Blair once witnessed a blazing row between Bill and Hillary Clinton. “They were really, really angry with each other,” she told him. “And then suddenly, the president took her in his arms and began kissing her all over her face and he said, ‘God, what would I do without you?’

Why does this description remind me of John Belushi and Carrie Fisher in Blues Brothers?.

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.

Well, it was rumored that he threw a temper tantrum. His eyes supposedly bulged and veins stood out on his neck. He cursed and spewed uncontrollably. Then when we saw the real thing, he was as meek as a kitten. That's when I knew the jig was up. The total spin machine was gyrating. And that's exactly the scenario I thought of when I read this article. Just like you. You are a pretty smart cookie!

Darn, I guess I got caught up in the hype when reading:

"Bernstein has been delving through Blair’s copious records of the 1992 presidential election campaign, which could offer tantalising insight into Bill Clinton’s war machine and Hillary’s reaction to news of her husband’s dalliance with the nightclub singer Gennifer Flowers in Arkansas.

Hillary denied all knowledge of the affair, but one writer who has followed her career closely said: “She always knew about her.” He added: “Anyone who has approached the subject of Hillary Clinton with a clear eye will run across many examples of stories that are not true.”

the more the lies, the more time is needed to create scandal exhaustion in the public mind.

I grew up in a small town. Everyone knows everything about everyone else. There are no secrets. Arkansas is just a "geographically enhanced" small town. Hillary knew.

It's like what Rhett said to Scarlet, "Never drink alone, my dear. People always find out about it and it ruins your reputation."

I heard from someone who was there that he did scream and have temper tantrums, but it was during the frequent breaks. Not while on the record. He was especially short tempered and vicious to his staff .. but none dare go public.

The Clinton's were never just Arkansas mafia. They had world wide connections. My guess is through Indonesian billionaire Moctar Riady for starters.

So, if Bernstein has top flight cameramen filming HARXIST’s efforts to Fosterize him from 3 different angles . . .

do you think CNN would play the videos?

She’d probably get off claming entrapment.

or maybe because the camera angles made her thighs look like an elephant’s.

or maybe because FREEDOM OF THE PRESS doesn’t include about HER!

It's worse. Its Bernstein AND Knopf. The two together? I mean, really, how obvious can it get?

Just off the top of my head...Knopf's the publisher that gave Clinton a $10 million advance for his memoirs and lord knows how much to a no-talent hack for her piece of trash fiction, Checkpoint that obsesses over the assassination of George Bush.

I'm not even buying that Bernstein peddled this to Knopf. More like the hillary machine hatched the plan, took it to Knopf and together they decided on the perfect deceased author. Dusted him up, propped him up in a corner with a little pancake makeup and a Selectric. Voila. Weekend at Bernstein's.

Look for Bernstein to be vilified in the mainstream media soon.
