THE TRUTH ABOUT HILARY by Edward Klein (A Book Review)

The 2008 presidential campaign has already begun so it’s not surprising that an author would capitalize on Hilary’s political history with a recap of her antics. THE TRUTH ABOUT HILARY begins at childhood and highlights her youthful experiences and personal faults that would shape her into the manipulative character that felt entitled as co-President despite the fact that she didn’t appear on any ballots.

The best part of the book is the story behind her decision to run for Senator, so that she could shed her co-dependent political marriage for the less damaging carpetbagger reputation. This was the only part of the history that I didn’t know. Klein makes Senator Moynihan a sympathetic figure that is serious about the people of New York and the problems with the country who reluctantly agrees to tepidly endorse Clinton for the good of the party.

This is not a book that will take long to read and it’s probably best for people who were too young to remember Hillary’s role in the 1990s. As a repudiation of Hilary it’s better than Peggy Noonan’s THE CASE AGAINST HILARY (2000) which depended more on psychology and not enough on the treachery.
