The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, when She Knew it and How Far She'll Go to Become President

With the 2008 Presidential election coming up just around the corner I thought it was appropriate to review a book that was quite controversial about one of the leading candidates. The candidate that I am referring to is Hillary Rodham Clinton. The book that I choose to read was "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, How She Knew It and How Far She'll Go To Become President" by Edward Klein. I heard that the book was a scathing expose and that is very true. The attacks and accusations made in this book are vicious.

The constant obsession with Hillary's sex life or lack there of according to Ed Klein is unbelievable. The fact that Hillary knew lesbians and associated with lesbians while she was a student at Wellesley College in Massachusetts does not mean that she herself is a lesbian, but Klein simply will not drop the idea. So what if she hung out with people like Elaine Acheson, the granddaughter of former Secretary of State Dean Acheson who would late come out of the closet to divorce her husband and start a relationship with a woman?

Well, that whole idea gets to the crevice of Klein's book. His thesis is that Bill and Hillary Clinton only got married in order to start a business relationship. There is no physical attraction between the two. Hillary just hitched her wagon to a man who wanted to be President in preparation of one day running for the office herself.

Klein seems to show a general disdain for what can be called the New Left. In particular he sets his sights on the ideals of feminism which Clinton began to embrace during her college days after converting to liberalism despite working for Barry Goldwater in the 1964 election. Klein portrays Hillary as someone who is rather lazy, likes to sleep late, with every moment of her public life as being scripted. Whether it be the way she handled complaints about her lifestyle and the way she dressed while in Arkansas or her 2000 run for the United States Senate in New York.
