Carl Bernstein to write Unauthorized Biography about Hillary Clinton

This can’t be good for Sen. Clinton, this is one of the left’s own turning against her. It probably can’t be good for Bernstein either as we know what happens to people who turn on the Clintons.

From the article:

“Bernstein reaches conclusions that stand in opposition to what Senator Clinton has said in the past and has written in the past,” said Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for Knopf, which publishes the book on June 19.

With the thoroughness for which he is famous, Bernstein spoke to more than 200 of Clinton’s friends, colleagues and adversaries. He stops short of accusing the New York senator of blatantly lying about her past, but has unearthed examples of where she has played fast and loose with the facts about her “personal and political life”, according to Knopf.

The book could revive the explosive charge, made earlier this year by David Geffen, a former Clinton donor and Hollywood mogul, that “the Clintons lie with such ease, it’s troubling”.

Just remember what George Costanza said to Jerry Seinfeld when Jerry needed to pass a lie detector test, ” it’s not a lie if you believe it.” She has been lying so long she doesn’t even realize it any more.

Bernstein has been delving through Blair’s copious records of the 1992 presidential election campaign, which could offer tantalising insight into Bill Clinton’s war machine and Hillary’s reaction to news of her husband’s dalliance with the nightclub singer Gennifer Flowers in Arkansas.

Hillary denied all knowledge of the affair, but one writer who has followed her career closely said: “She always knew about her.” He added: “Anyone who has approached the subject of Hillary Clinton with a clear eye will run across many examples of stories that are not true.”

Hillary and Bill’s marriage has always been a professional marriage, a marriage of convenience. Does it really come as a surprise that Hillary knew about Bill’s indiscretions? While that is their private life and really of no concern to us, doesn’t it show a real lack of judgement putting her political ambitions above her family life?

Clinton’s relationship with the truth has frequently come under scrutiny. William Safire, a conservative columnist in The New York Times, provoked a storm in the 1990s when he accused the first lady of being a “congenital liar”.

Bernstein’s biography is likely to touch some raw nerves. One writer who has crossed swords with Clinton advises Bernstein to watch his back. “She has the most powerful war machine that has ever been developed and it is led by people who have been to hell and back.”

As I said, Bernstein better be careful here, thing happen around the Clintons.
