5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of essays, December 30, 2000

This review is from: Hustler: The Clinton Legacy (Paperback)

Piece by piece, these essays stack up to a devastating portrait of a man of "fathomless selfishness." Sobran is the best columnist of latter 20th century, a man of profound, concise insights and a great writer. He's witty, too.

This is a book you'll read again in 20 years when the revisionists have repainted Clinton as a flawed genius (or some other sort of twaddle). Hey, they did it with FDR...

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Hustler: The Clinton Legacy (Paperback)

Over the last 8 years America was under the charm of the Bill Clinton. Books, magazines, newspapers, television and radio relayed countless stories about the scandals and corruption within the White House day after day and nobody cared - or so I thought.

With this book you have an author who takes an objective and biased looked into what made and what makes up the legacy of Bill Clinton and his presidency. Written with a great detail to the facts, Sobran presents story upon story about what happens when you cross Bill and when Bill determines to disregard his advisors.

Read stories about the sex scandal, dealing with the Republican majority, foreign affairs, trashing those who disagree with Bill and Hillary. Also the is stories about people like Monica, Paula Jones, David Brock, Linda Tripp and others.

Overall the author makes very short work of those liberal myths about what Bill Clinton stood for and what his presidency was all about. Well documented and well argued this book is a real eye opener. The book does require and open mind in order to understand the gravity of each story, but the time spent reading is well worth it.

America's funniest political pundit dissects America's funniest president (whom Sobran rightly likens to Falstaff): so how can you possibly go wrong with this collection of spirited and fierce essays? The author's combination of moral passion with complete freedom from unctuousness remains as impressive as ever.
