Ed Klein writes Parade's Personality Parade. That explains it.
<http://www.nydailynews.com/06-24-2005/news/col/story/322049p-275336c.html>

"Edward Klein, who developed a cottage industry writing about the Kennedys, surprised some people with his vicious new bio of Hillary Clinton. But longtime Klein-watchers say they knew conservative bile lurked in the belly of the man who writes Parade magazine's "Personality Parade" under the name Walter Scott.

Asked by a Parade reader what he thought of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," Klein/Scott said, "We're not a fan of the prime-time soap, which glamorizes infidelity and promiscuity."

Asked about Jesse Jackson's involvement in the Terri Schiavo and Michael Jackson cases, he replied, "We don't want to encourage the Reverend Jackson's craving for publicity, the less said the better."


Remember in Parade (the Sunday supplemental magazine in most newspapers) when commenting on Chelsea Clinton being seen at social functions it said "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree". There were always catty remarks about Democrats. Now we know the same Ed Klein who wrote that hate-filled polemic about Senator Clinton writes under the pseudonym of Walter Scott. What vile nasty piece of work he is. Will never read Parade the same again. Will never read Parade.

1. He was on CNN today talking about how the Clintons...
introduced sex into American family dialogue for the first time, or some such nonsense, and that's why he's justified for talking in his book about how Bill raped Hillary. (or so he says)

What a bastard. Get over it people. The Clintons didn't invent sex.

5. Actually, isn't that a good thing?
And his quote about Jesse Jackson, isn't that part of Jesse's job - to provide exposure? I hear that cut down about Jackson so much it makes me sick...

2. Boycott your paper until either it drops Parade or Parade drops Klein.
I won't let that slimeball make one thin dime off of me.

7. OMG THAT was Walter Scott?????
I noticed in the last few years there is a decided conservative slant to that piece of pap.

I don't subscribe to any papers anymore anyway.
