Photographer blasts book author who smeared Hillary
http://nymetro.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/12099/index.html

The photographer who took the picture in Edward Klein’s new book, The Truth About Hillary, catching Bill Clinton in a moment of P.D.A. with someone other than his wife, says that the book’s use of the photo is a “huge misrepresentation of the event.”

In his first public comments about the salacious picture, photographer Jay L. Clendenin said in an interview with New York Magazine that the picture was one of “dozens” he took at a rally for presidential candidate John Kerry that Bill Clinton attended in Philadelphia on October 25, 2004. He said that Clinton wasn’t at all intimate with the woman. “I was there,” he said. “She kissed him on the cheek. Nothing more. Two seconds out of each other’s lives.”

Clendenin also said he had no idea the photo, which he took for Polaris Images, a picture agency in Manhattan, was appearing in Klein’s book until New York told him about it.

“You’re kidding,” Clendenin exclaimed when reached on his cell phone. “Oh, Jesus.”

2. Klein's book has been discredited by Hannity and O'Reilly
which indicates that the book is nothing but fiction. If this were England, Klein would be sued by now.

5. I think they would have preferred a book with some substance to its
claims. O'Reilly said that the book's charge that Hillary was a lesbian was that she had some lesbian friends. Even O'Reilly found that line of reasoning to be flawed.

I think it is good that a book that is clearly the product of a new Arkansas Project has come out this early, plenty of time for it to be debunked.

4. Didn't a lot of those old boys discredit the Smear Boaters, too?
As I recall, they got more airplay from people discrediting them than they did from their pad ads.

Sometimes you have to listen closely to find out what they're relly up to.
