Two more books out to bring down Hillary Clinton

There are two new books about to hit the shelves of stores, aimed at destroying Senator Clinton’s campaign. The books drag us back behind the long-since closed doors of the Clinton presidency, and Bill Clinton tenure as Arkansas Governor. Senator Clinton may be unfairly forced to defend the strong images she has worked to build in her presidential campaign.

"A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton" was written by Carl Bernstein who shows Clinton as a woman trying to avoid facing prosecution. Bernstein also writes that during her time as the first lady of Arkansas, she held an interview with a woman suspected of sleeping with her husband, Bill Clinton, and thought about divorce…oh wow, she thought about getting divorced from her cheating husband, that dirty liberal! So, if that’s really such a bad thing, with all the affairs JFK had, Jackie Kennedy must have been contemplating divorce everyday as his wife. To this day she is among the most talked about former First Ladies, people love "Jackie O." Berstein really is a hypocrite, he had an affair with a British politican while married to his third wife, here he is blasting Senator Clinton for contemplating a divorce. Also a college drop out, Bernstein worked at Washington Post with Yale graduate Bob Woodward to break the Watergate story. Today, the difference is that Woodward’s books, unlike Bernstein's, actually sell so much they make multiple best seller lists and he’s invited to every news, tv, radio show as a result.


The second book is also a bunch of rubbish. "Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton," by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr shows Hillary Clinton as the leader of a team that made up a plan to investigate and socially damage Gennifer Flowers "until she is destroyed." Flowers publicly disclosed she had an affair with then- governor Bill Clinton. It’s the new way to get 15 minutes of fame! Any woman (or man) who publicly discloses having an affair with a politician near/during a campaign cycle has an agenda, she is looking for her 15 minutes of fame, and as a result is fair game to any campaign. Do not feel sorry for Gennifer Flower, Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky, they all received millions of dollar from Republicans and maybe even FOX News. Monica even turned her 15 minutes into 16 minutes by designing (and not selling) a line of womens purses.

Gerth and Van Natta also show how the Clintons had a plan, even before getting married, to slowly rise to power. The book points out there was a letter written by Hillary, laying out their 20-year plan that began in the 1970's. Leon E. Panetta, the former White House chief of staff, also verifies speaking to the president once about the plan. Gerth’s source? A former Clinton WH intern and girlfriend! They are Pulitzer prize winners, and their source is an ex girlfriend?

So what if there was a 20 year plan? That’s smart planning in my opinion. I have a 20-30 year plan to maybe run for office, after law school, after years as an attorney and party activist. My involvement in the Democratic Party now, a lot of it, is about networking for this reason. I see no shame in admitting that. And if some idiot is going to say that’s cruel, cold and calculated, big deal.

Basically the news here is that it took these three guys (ok, reporters!) ten years to find no news. Bravo! “Is it possible to be quoted yawning?" asked Philippe Reines, her Senate spokesman when questioned by the media.

I don't understand why you're defending an admitted pervert (Bill). I thought Democrats cared about women's rights and equal footing in society, lol.
