Nobody knows how to swing like a secretly miserable Clinton-basher, according to David Brock's new memoir, "Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative." Brock is the former American Spectator writer who made his bones attacking Anita Hill after she testified about Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, and by bringing Paula Jones out of the Arkansas wilderness. He has since found liberal religion, declaring that he knew his "exposés" to be false when he wrote them. Now he's dishing about many of the preachy, family-values, right-to-life pundits he met during the '90s. Among his allegations: Brock and lawyer Ann Coulter "smoked [and] drank to excess — Ann seemed to live on nothing but Chardonnay and cigarettes — and vented out our anger and cruelty by hurling all manner of epithets at liberals and the disadvantaged." Laura Ingraham "confided she didn't believe much of what she was saying on the airwaves." Once in Washington, "Laura, in a drunken stupor, crawled through [a] packed two-story dance club on her hands and knees, looking for me." Ingraham and Coulter are declining comment on Brock's book. Asked why anyone should believe him when he has admitted fabricating in the past, Brock tells us, "The book has to be judged on its merits. I made a personal decision to come clean, and I'm happy with that." ******************************************************** Oh, oh. It's starting to get personal..... Cheerio!
