NOW THAT IS A TOUGH REVIEW [06/22 09:26 AM]
John Podhoretz is my hero. His take on the Ed Klein book about Hillary Clinton:
This is one of the most sordid volumes I've ever waded through. Thirty pages into it, I wanted to take a shower. Sixty pages into it, I wanted to be decontaminated. And 200 pages into it, I wanted someone to drive stakes through my eyes so I wouldn't have to suffer through another word.
So that's a thumbs down, right?
I can't believe some loons thought Kathryn was too tough on Klein in her interview. The guy is throwing around poorly-sourced crap. If you're going to throw around nitroglycerin like the rape tale, you had better have some darn solid evidence. No matter what anybody thinks of her parents, Chelsea Clinton deserves better.
I can't believe anyone compared this book to "Unfit for Command" - the Swifties had dozens of witnesses, and odd contradictions in Kerry's stories over the years, and Christmas in Cambodia, and Kerry's testimony before the Senate, and a veritable mountain of evidence compared to Klein's stuff. Kitty Kelley is the better comparison.
Folks, there are plenty of arguments against Hillary Clinton, her policies, her views, her proposals, and her philosophies. This stuff ain't it. Nobody on the right, left, or center ought to stoop to this level."
