Do you want to know what is in the new 'The Truth About Hillary' by Edward Klein, but don't want to give the guy money? PunditGuy is reading it for us! PunditGuy works in the publishing industry. He has decided over the next few weeks to take us through the book a few chapters at a time. (with his perspective, of course!)

Here is a excerpt from the first part:

"The prologue opens with Monica Lewinsky showing up to Bill's fiftieth birthday party in August of 1996. By the time I read the second paragraph, I knew what kind of book this was going to be.

Creepy.


Icky.

Klein recounts a moment when Monica, with her back turned to Bill, reaches behind her and, touches the former president, uh, well...

Yeah, I was grossed out. Straight ahead gratuitousness on the part of Klein.

Once I recovered, it was pretty clear to me who Monica Lewinsky was during this time in her life. She was a hopeless loser. She was the scorned woman, not Hillary. Klein wastes no time proving to his readers that Monica was obsessed with Bill Clinton. I'm talked OBSESSED. Over the top. If even part of the story in the prologue is accurate, Monica is lucky she wasn't put down by Secret Service agents. Obviously, Bill wanted her kept close."

Yeah, it's like looking at a horrible car wreck as you drive by it, you just can't help but slow down and look even though you know you should just keep moving along.
