Title: A Partisan Apology, Little Else
Product review: Conason has spent years attempting to defend Bill Clinton, and finally got a book deal for his loyal soldiering.Most of us are well aquainted with the history of his impeachment and have formed our own opinions regarding it. The best objective (and first-hand) account of the subject remains Schippers' "Sell Out."With respect to their efforts to affix blame for what led to the impeachment, it must have been a huge embarrasment for the authors to have their highly contrived bit of finger-pointing undermined so soon after this book's publication: by Bill's Pardongate and Hillary taking the White House silver ("gifts!" she cried). There is no right wing conspiracy, Mr. Conason - just rough and tumble politics, played by both sides. "The enemy is us," says the old saw.This book is of no historical merit - it is only for hard-core Democratic partisans needing to salve their damaged psyches.
