Klein says he was booked on a number of television shows and, with the exception of Lou Dobbs of CNN and Sean Hannity of Fox News, he has been cancelled everywhere else. Klein’s critics point to his use of anonymous sources throughout the piece. HE: What do you think about the people who say, “It’s a great book, but he used people who weren’t willing to go on the record and so that discredits his book”? Klein: “Well, they don’t say that about Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein about Watergate do they? …If you’re writing about someone who is extremely...

HILLARY'S SECRET WAR Hillary's plan to silence Internet journalists Posted: July 6, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern Editor's note: The following is an eye-opening sneak preview of New York Times best-selling author Richard Poe's revealing book, "Hillary's Secret War." Whereas Edward Klein's book on the New York senator reveals previously unknown aspects of her personal life, Poe's expose focuses on how Hillary Clinton and the left's "shadow government" have labored to put her and her far-left agenda in the White House by controlling the still-uncensored flow of real news to Americans – via the Internet. If that sounds too fantastic...

To read his review of Klein's book The Truth About Hillary, click here. They say it takes a thief to catch a thief. After all these years, it may turn out to be Edward Klein — a pillar of the Old Media establishment — who finally succeeds in getting the truth out about Hillary. Legions of conservative writers (your faithful correspondent included) have written books exposing Hillary’s radical agenda and dictatorial methods. But our efforts have faired poorly...

Below is Richard Poe's review of Edward Klein's The Truth About Hillary. To see his exclusive interview with Edward Klein, click here.Can Hillary win the presidency in 2008?  Yes, warns Edward Klein.  In his new book, The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She’ll Go to Become President, Klein makes the case that, unless Republicans wake from their slumber, 2008 could well see a restoration of the Clinton co-presidency.  Hillary would then have a shot at "sixteen years in the White House — the longest incumbency since Franklin Delano Roosevelt."

Interestingly, the newly released book by Edward Klein, "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President," leaves no one on the fence. Liberal editorials rant about how the former editor of the New York Times' Sunday Magazine, former Newsweek staffer and contributor to Vanity Fair has now shed his Dem credentials and joined the "vast right-wing conspiracy." For example, Tina Brown christened Klein "Ed Slime" and referred to the book as "bio-porn." (As an aside, Klein responded to the New York Post by labeling Brown a "has-been.") Negative comments...

About once a year I review a book in this column that ought to be required reading for people who care about politics. Edward Klein's "The Truth About Hillary" is such a book. The pre-publication leak about the book — that Bill Clinton had allegedly talked about raping his wife — was off-putting for me. I don't usually waste my time reading salacious scandal books from the left or the right. But I was advised to take a look at this book, which I read last weekend. It was worth my time. This is not a scandal book intended merely...

"THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY" AUTHOR, Edward Klein, to be interviewed by John Gibson TODAY, 5PM ET ON FOX

How nasty is The Truth About Hillary, Edward Klein's new biography of the former first lady? Let's just say that Monica Lewinsky appears on Page 1, groping Bill Clinton's crotch at the rope line outside a cocktail reception for his 50th birthday. Klein, who used to edit the New York Times Magazine and now churns out books on the Kennedys, includes tawdry Hillary tidbits that he gathered in interviews with mostly anonymous sources ranging from Hillary's first boyfriend to high-ranking White House staffers. Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines, told Reuters, "This is a book full of blatant and vicious fabrications contrived...

The author of a book aimed at hurting a potential White House run by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Tuesday she would be a "dangerous" president as critics slammed his reporting as flawed muckraking. Edward Klein's "The Truth About Hillary," published on Tuesday by Penguin's conservative Sentinel imprint, portrays Clinton as a ruthless and ambitious woman who will stop at nothing to become president like her husband. "I didn't go into this book ... with an agenda," Klein said, citing his 40 years as an "independent" journalist at places such as The New York Times' magazine and Newsweek. Nevertheless,...

RUSH: It's kind of like what's happening here with this Ed Klein book. Exactly what I predicted is happening. The media is creating a backlash about this book before the book even comes out. The book came out yesterday. This Klein guy is having a tough time getting on TV for any interviews. The press is not curious about what he's saying. They're circling the wagons trying to defend Hillary, but in addition to that -- and this is where the similarity to the Durbin business came in. In addition to that a whole bunch of conservative pundits are out...

Okay, here we go. Let's see what Ed Klein has to say.

June 21, 2005 | "I'm not being used by anybody," said Edward Klein, author of the book "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President," published today by Sentinel, a conservative imprint of publishing behemoth Penguin Group. Klein was responding to a question about whether the right wing was using his past work at supposedly liberal institutions like the New York Times and Newsweek to lend authority to his book's assertions about Hillary Clinton, which many are calling shoddily reported and nastily personal. "I worked for the organizations that...
