I was interested in the book long enough to get Klein to defend it a little to NRO readers before he started his book tour. I’ve read the book, albeit quickly, and to be honest there’s not all that much to even take with many, many, many grains of salt. If you’re a political-junkie type, you’ve gotten a lot of what he has to say in other venues–there’s nothing blockbuster in it (though it’s probably like reading the political People or In Touch or whatever gossip mag you want to compare it to, if you’re that addicted to everything having to do with politics or Hillary, etc.). I’m completely uncomfortable with Klein’s insinuations about her personal life, as you can tell in that interview. That said, Tim makes a fair point about the media coverage though–as does Stephen Spruiell over on Da Media Blog. Anyway, the pre-pub hype for the Klein book was exaggerated–the Swift Boat comparison in particular was ridiculous. In the end, for better or for worse (and probably no worse than some of the others–particuarly when you get beyond the stuff I’ve complained about)–it’s one more book to add to the Hillary shelf.
