RAGE AT AUTHOR AFTER CLAIM: BILL RAPED HILLARY, CONCEIVED CHELSEA

**Exclusive**

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton turned furious and considered legal action after learning bestselling author Ed Klein would allege in a new book: Bill Clinton raped her -- resulting in the conception of daughter Chelsea Clinton!

"[Author] Klein is going to rot in hell for this," a well-placed source close to Hillary said over the weekend.

The explosive charge comes in THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY: WHAT SHE KNEW, WHEN SHE KNEW IT, AND HOW FAR SHE'LL GO TO BECOME PRESIDENT -- set for release next week.

[The book ranked #198 on AMAZON.COM's hourly sale chart late Sunday.]

"I'm going back to my cottage to rape my wife," Klein quotes Bill Clinton as saying during a Bermuda getaway in 1979.

In the morning, the Clintons' room "looked like World War III. There are pillows and busted-up furniture all over the place," an unnamed source tells Klein.

Klein source claims Bill later learned Hillary was pregnant reading about it in the ARKANSAS GAZETTE.

"The fact that his wife didn't tell him that she was pregnant before she told a reporter doesn't seem to phase him one bit, because he says, 'Do you know what night that happened?"

"'No,' I say. 'When?"

"'It was Bermuda,' he says, 'And you were there!'"

The rape claim is just the beginning of Klein's alleged revelations, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY marks the most aggressive attempt yet to investigate Hillary.

The former first lady turned senator fumed as a close aide offered details of the book, an insider explains.

"Mrs. Clinton told me she would considering suing him for outright libel," the top Hillary source explains. "This is the right wing attack machine on crack!"

But Hillary and her camp may have a hard time typecasting Ed Klein as a Clinton-crazed right-winger. Klein is the former foreign editor of NEWSWEEK and former editor in chief of the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE. He is a frequent contributor to VANITY FAIR and PARADE.

He is also the author of THE KENNEDY CURSE; FAREWELL, JACKIE; and several other NEW YORK TIMES bestsellers.

VANITY FAIR has already commissioned an excerpt of the embargoed Hillary book, exploring Hillary's senate runs.

"I'm going back to my cottage to rape my wife"? Even the writers of the Young and the fucking Restless are laughing at how cheesy that is.

Really, you would think that, if the author wants this book to be taken seriously, he's have curbed back on such sensationalism. If you want to say that she's a bad legislator, or she's power hungry, or that her husband's a lousy president, I don't care, all are marginally debatable points. But to claim this, man, you'd think the book was written by CTLesq.

myke.
...then again, the people who are prone to buying these kinds of books would believe Klein if an "anonymous source" told him the Hillary slit the throats of Jewish babies and drank their blood to stay alive, as she has done since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
 
Yes I am actually Matt Drudge.

98% of his site is nothing more than a link to another site.

Tragically MyKe you just aren't creative enough to come up with this stuff.

You should be asking who believes Klein, not who believes the Drudge Report (which is primarily just a news page linking to other news pages, no actual new "reporting" done on Drudge's page). That being said, Klein has a pretty good history in terms of books, with several NYT bestsellers - he was also editor of the NYT at one point.
 
Since Drudge is quoting a book, why is it unbelievable? These aren't his words, they aren't from his research and sources either.

98% is a low figure, he posts MAYBE 2 stories a month tops that he originates. Considering he has on average of 20 headlines cycled throughout the day you're looking at 600 headlines a month and 2 out of 600 is actually like .7%.

Ironically the same people that will slander Klein are the same people that believed every word Kitty Kelley wrote about the Bushs and Reagans. Go figure.

No, I am just trying to be consistent with the errors I make when I write the Drudge Report.

Now I will post a retraction of sorts:

Of course I am not responsible for this error because I am in fact not creating this subject but linking to another site which actually reported it.

Here ends the lesson on the Drudge Report.

Thanks for playing.

Awwww.... CTLesq, you know that was a little funny.... You do tend to have a flair for the dramatic... ;-)

I'm not talkin shit, I just thought that was pretty funny and pretty good. Now you'll just have to rebuttal that later in a new thread..

We now have a frontrunner in the Who Will Stoop the Lowest To Defame Hillary - Ed Klein.

I plead with the GOP, Please keep this story alive. It's only going to make you look slimey and morally bankrupt.

Can't say I've read anything of Kelley's; I did waste a good amount of time reading David Brock's apology ("Blinded by the Right"); however, in admitting that he was a literary political hitman with no regard for the truth, I did find some decent advice: don't pay attention to David Brock.

That's the extent of my political "bestsellers," unless you count someone like Chomsky (but I don't).

myke.
EDIT to point out that, after glancing over my bookshelf, I do have a copy of Greg Palast's The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. Full disclosure, ya know.

I hope Klein's book is just as successful as Kelley's since both Reagan and Dubya got second terms. Just imagine - eight years of Hillary in the Oval Office... I'll vote for her just to watch all the conservatives explode. :lol:

Editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine, which is remarkably different from the newspaper. Prestigious? Sure.

Please send me a link where people laud Klein for his ability to write accurately and depict historical occurances perfectly.

From what I've read, Klein's been pretty well discredited, but Drudge deserves plenty of blame too. Who would you blame if Drudge posted a link to a story on "Bat Boy"? I'm aware that it's a portal site; it's the contents that it links to that are highly questionable.

Can you imagine someone, *anyone* thinking, much less saying to another person, "I'm going to go rape my wife?" If yes, I pity you.

myke.
 
Wow, that's obviously fake. Even if you believe he did rape her (and absurd claim in my mind), a guy with political ambitions, or practically any person, is not going to just tell someone that "I'm gonna go rape my wife now". Now maybe they had some kinky role playing going on, but that's the only way I could see this as even remotely possible.

Even if all of Klein's "facts" are correct, they don't prove anything other than Bill made a bad joke. This unnamed source saw the "trashed" hotel room the next day - Was there blood? Did Hillary look battered and bruised?

It's funny how conservatives don't trust a word Bill says until a shady "reporter" claims he said "I'm going to rape my wife." Pathetic.
