Title: Gives Clinton a pass
Review: Bob Woodward's book is well-written and does provide some sense of the depths of Clinton's dishonesty, but it fails to fully expose the man, the way Isikoff did in his book. Our President is a vicious, abusive sociopath and deserves to be in jail, but Woodward makes it seem as though he was a victim more than a perpetrator. He does shed some light on the Starr investigation and the process that led to impeachment. If only Monica had been more forthcoming, if she hadn't shaded her testimony to protect Clinton, things might have turned out differently. If the media hadn't ignored Juanita Broaddrick anf forced Clinton to answer her charges his approval ratings wouldn't be as high as they are. Woodward doesn't really try to expose Clinton;like Monica, his loyalties are clear.
