Interesting review: "a witting cog in the Republican sleaze machine," a knowing liar who "mounted a cover-up to protect [Clarence] Thomas....
... "a highly profitable, right-wing Big Lie machine that flourished in book publishing, on talk radio and on the Internet through the '90s."
... "Brock has an important idea about the schemers who brought down Clinton. Among the pungent details in his self-purgative, name-naming memoir are these about the right-wing Washington organizer Grover Norquist: "Grover admired the iron dedication of Lenin, whose dictum, 'Probe with bayonets, looking for weakness' he often quoted, and whose majestic portrait hung in Grover's Washington living room."
... "He does try out one interesting notion. A goodly number of his co-conspirators are closeted gays, as Brock was. They called themselves "laissez fairies." Most, he writes, were "in a constant state of panic about being discovered." They were, Brock thinks, classic projectors of their own inner demons."
>>>> Perhaps there should be an acknowledged and outed 'J. Edgar Hoover wing' of the reactionary 'sleaze machine' :)
