New book by lying liar rightwinger claims Bill Clinton urged Hillary to run against Obama in 2012

It's by pathological liar Ed Klein, and it's being hyped all over Drudge and all the usual rightwing outlets today. Supposedly, according to Klein, Bill Clinton attacked President bama as 'an amateur' (the book's title) and tried to get Hillary to primary challenge him.

It's an obvious load of B.S., designed to tap into some of those old PUMA idiots, I suppose.

The author has no credibility whatsoever. His past work has been ripped to shreds for its factual errors and deliberate smears (He's previously tried to imply Hillary Clinton was a lesbian, for instance).

We're probably going to have this liar shoved down our throats by the 'lib'rul media' for the next week, so now might be a good time to revisit his brutal and legendary takedown by Al Franken and Joe Conason, to give you an idea of just what a schmuck and liar we're dealing with here:

Was a Puma, or is a PUMA, but there are some who still scream "party unity my A**" who will nibble at this. Thankfully, few would, especially as they know what party is declaring the "war on women."

Not all of us are idiots or assholes.

In hindsight I am very glad that Obama was elected, he has done better than I ever dreamed.

Untalented, lazy hacks have gotten paid by writing complete bullshit about the Clintons.

You know how I know it's false? As much as politics is faked, you can't fake the relationship that's grown between Pres. Obama & Sec. Clinton. It just doesn't happen. You can always tell when someone's forced to do something. Hell, for that matter, Bill Clinton's relationship with Obama, which was lukewarm at best four years ago, has evolved into something casual and comfortable.

So...

The gist of the story is believable but completely irrelevant -- which officially makes it shit-stirring.
