A very good read, great insight into the Clintons

I bought this book to get an insider's view of the Clinton administration and the facts about the scandals, not necessarily to learn more about Hillary Clinton. This book does that exceedingly well, regardless of your political persuasion. This book is NOT a 'bash Hillary' book. In fact, the author many times mentions the strengths of both Bill and Hillary. I thought Bill was a raging liberal until I read this book. I thought Hillary had stuck by Bill so that Bill could succeed - this is not the reason, if Morris is correct. Excellent history and insight into the Clintons. Morris was Clinton's advisor for nearly 20 years. He knows them in and out. The satisfying thing for me was summing up all the scandals - what really happened, what was the final result, etc. I had forgotten hwo the Paul Jones case concluded, and that the whole Ken Starr thing would have not have happened if Bill Clinton settled in the first place.
So disregard the politically motivated reviews of this book - it's incredibly interesting and is great reading. If you're conservative, the last chapter is going to depress you!

TRUTH

Anyone who has paid attention to the ambitious, opportunistic, Lady MacBeth like political career of "Mrs" Clinton with an open and objective mind will see that Mr. Morris is being completely accurate and truthful in this expose of the LIES, DECEIT and MANIPULATION of the Clintons and Ms. Hillary in particular.

There is nothing in this book regarding the various fiascos, scandals and cover ups which surround the political lives of the Clintons which surprise me. And to call Morris a knee jerk Bush supporter is downright hilarious- I have seen him repeatedly state that Bush's handling of the war in Iraq will cause him to lose the election.

Morris currently believes that Kerry will actually win. So much for the bogus theory that Morris is a Bush sycophant. Then again those comments are coming from the lunatic lemmings of the left who actually believe bringing down the star ratings on Amazon is a form of political protest.

Get a life losers.

Anyone who refuses to believe that Hillary is one of the most self promoting, idealess frauds in the history of politics is either an ignorant partisan hack or reaaaaaaaalllly dumb.

As an Insider Book This Is not A buy

One prior reviewer wants to know if he should buy the book. The bottom line is no, the book is a bit of a dud and my review has nothing to do with the Clintons or politics. The book is marginal - 3 stars. Here is why.

I briefly read the book and did not read every word - I could not it simply was not compelling. I reviewed the book after hearing a lengthy radio interview with Dick Morris. The point is that he was an insider and we would expect a much better effort. The book is very short 250 pages, and even worse it is large font - always a bad sign - and contains nothing new that is not already public knowledge and mostly well know.

Let us go over some of his insights. He has a couple of comments on Mrs. Clinton's reaction to Lewinsky but again that is mostly public. All politicians follow the polls, Bill was famous for that, and anyone living within 1000 miles of New York State knows that Hillary lobbied for the Puerto Ricans to be pardoned, and Orthodox Jews and others, and supported both the Yankees and the Mets simultaneously and anyone else that would give her a vote. We need another book to tell us that or to repeat some of that? I think not. Morris makes list of the gifts that they received and has other lists of transgressions in the book. He mentions Gennifer Flowers and has a chapter called "Stonewalling" on the White Water investigation. All of that is public information, we have heard it before many times, and it is not new.

Many sections are very brief and although accurate they tell us little whether you like the Clintons or not. So why buy a short large font book with nothing new?

Unless you just returned from a place where there were no papers or TV , skip this.

Three stars.
