Edward Klein’s new book, The Truth About Hillary, has been criticized as “trash” from both the left and the right. Even Bill O’Reilly said that he will not cover it, though his reasoning is that it covers "personal stuff” like Kitty Kelly’s The Family. Klein has even back down from his disgusting rape claim which is not even worth repeating.http://mediamatters.org/topics/thetruthabouthillary.html
This brings up the John Kerry rally in Philadelphia on October 25, 2004 in which President Bill Clinton attended. The media hype started from the Drudge Report where Matt Drudge ran with the title:
BOOK CLAIM: HILLARY HUMILIATED AS BILL HAS NEW AFFAIRS
The book makes a claim from a single picture:
“Bill mouth-kissing a supporter. Hillary’s aides noticed that Bill seemed to grow even more reckless after his memoir, My Life, became a big bestseller. He was rolling in money—and hubris. Throwing caution to the wind, he started a torrid affair with a stunning divorcée in her early forties.”
Clendenin commented when interviews by New York Magazine:
“I was there. She kissed him on the cheek. Nothing more. Two seconds out of each other’s lives. The pictures speak for themselves. They make the point I was trying to make in the book, which is that he hasn't stopped being a philanderer. This is one of maybe a dozen people who kissed him on the cheek. It’s like being misquoted . . . I believe that the insinuation of intimacy is a misrepresentation of the photo. It misrepresents my work.”
When the publisher Sentinel, a conservative imprint of the Penguin GroupPenguin Group, was asked about the photo, a spokesperson Will Weisser replied,
“It’s not implying that the woman pictured in the photo is the one he’s having an affair with.”
