“The Clinton Wars” by Sidney Blumenthal [View All]

I just finished reading this book last night. I highly recommend it. It’s a long book – 800 pages, and a heavy read. Blumenthal goes into great detail of the partisan “Clinton Wars” endured during the Clinton years beginning with the campaign before the 1992 election and through the stealing of the 2000 election in Florida and aftermath. I am disgusted beyond words.

I’ve read other books that show the Republicans and their machinery as the crooked and despicable partisan political pigs they are, but the criminal activity, out and out lies and chicanery used by the right described in this book trying to take Clinton down or to force his impeachment even though there were no justifiable charges to impeach him for just disgust me beyond belief. And the media dutifully fell in line all they way, ignoring any exculpatory information, and embellishing and indeed creating news that tended to discriminate against Clinton that didn’t objectively exist.

I didn’t think I could get anymore sick, angry, or disgusted with the political state of affairs in this country. I was wrong.
