Two Books About Hillary Clinton May Spice Up Your Summer Reading
(Fox News) - Two new books about Hillary Clinton will hit the stores next month — both written by long-established writers and marketed by major publishers.
The Washington Post reports Carl Bernstein's 640-page book asserts that Mrs. Clinton was convinced that she would be indicted for perjury or obstruction of justice in the Whitewater investigation.
He also says Mrs. Clinton considered a run for the Arkansas governor's seat in 1989 — out of what Bernstein calls "anger and hurt" over Bill Clinton's infidelity.
And he writes Mrs. Clinton told a friend that Bill Clinton's winning the presidency, "Would be good for the marriage because her husband's sexual compulsions would be tempered by the White House and the ever-present press corps."
The other book — written by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. — says the Clintons made a pact in 1992 that Mrs. Clinton would run for the presidency after her husband left office.
It states that Senator Clinton did not read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq before voting to authorize the war.
The Clinton camp acknowledges several of the points raised in the second book and says both efforts mainly rehash old news.
Mrs. Clinton's fallout with longtime supporter David Geffen was the most covered political story during the first three months of the year — according to a new study. The project for excellence in journalism also says the news media had more than twice as much coverage of Democratic presidential candidates than Republicans in the first three months of this year. The numbers – 61 percent for Democrats – 24 percent for Republicans. Even conservative radio hosts followed this pattern — with Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage talking about Democrats by a 75-to-13-percent margin.
