David Brock dissects NYTimes review of Clinton's book
It's a classic. http://mediamatters.org/items/200406200001

Living History

"'Living History' is a mishmash ..."

My Life

"In fact, 'My Life' reads like a messy pastiche..."

Living History

"The other has to do with Mrs. Clinton's penchant for blaming enemies, from political opponents to a 'vast right-wing conspiracy,' for her and her husband's failures and travails."

My Life

"... he spends far more space excoriating his nemesis, independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr, and the press."

Living History

"Though Mrs. Clinton admits that she made missteps with her health care plan (its failure contributed to the Republicans' taking control of both the House and the Senate in 1994 for the first time in 40 years), she tends to attribute many of her and her husband's difficulties before and during his presidency to 'the politics of personal destruction.'"

My Life

"Mr. Clinton takes more responsibility in these pages for his affair with Ms. Lewinsky, his lies about that affair and the damage inflicted on his family and his presidency than he has in the past. But he still spends a lot of time -- as his wife did in her book -- assailing right-wing enemies for his woes over Whitewater, the Paula Jones case and impeachment." <snip>
