Summary: Hillary's very radical agenda for America
Review: Bob Tyrrell doesn't disappoint the reader with his prescient and accurate knowledge of the political arena and how those clintons fit into it.
Coincidently, I finished Living History just days before beginning Madame Hillary.
It's more than interesting to juxtapose the two and compare 'RET Notes' with what missus clinton had spewed forth in her book.
If there's any one excerpt from Living History I believe lends the most stark visual image of describing accurately what these two scoundrels are all about it would be this:
We arrived in Accra, the capital of Ghana, on March 23, 1998, to a welcome by the largest crowd I had ever seen. More than half a million people gathered in the searing heat in Independence Square to hear Bill speak. I had loved traveling with Bill ever since he took me to England and France in 1973. He rose to every public occasion, delighted in meeting strangers, and had a vast appetite for new experiences. Standing on the stage and facing the immense crowd, he told me to look behind us at the rows of tribal kings who were decked out in vibrant robes and festooned with gold jewelry. He squeezed my hand.

Summary: A truthful depiction of unbridled ambition
Review: Fantastic read! One of the better and more informed books I've had the pleasure to read. The author captures the true Hillary and leaves out little of her shameful power hungry scheming. Tyrrell lists specifics and appears to have close knowledge of many of the events. He also seems to have the best and most accurate perception of Hillary's ambitious nature. To the naysayers out there, I doubt you read the book. Ask yourself why a woman who has never lived in New York, would suddenly buy a home there? She did it for political gain. She bought the home in the most liberal democratic state in the nation so she could run for the office of Senator. Amazingly she was elected by the fools who live in that state! They elected a completely unqualified person with absolutely no political experience other than "wife" of a past president. How crazy is that? And some people think she should run for the office of president? It boggles the mind there are so many stupid people out there. People who cannot, or will not, see her for what she really is.

Summary: A truthful depiction of unbridled scandal-mongering
Review: Fantastic read! The author captures the true conservative witch-hunt to destroy Hillary and leaves out little of their shameful power hungry scheming. Tyrrell lists specifics and appears to have close knowledge of many of the events. He also seems to have the best and most accurate perception of the nature of the hard-core conservative movement. To the naysayers out there, I doubt you read the book. Ask yourself why a woman who easily (and fairly) won a U.S. Senate election in New York, would suddenly become the most feared woman among the conservative pundits and politicians who babble on our FOX, MSNBC, CNBC and CNN every day? They do it for political gain. Although she was popularly elected by the voters who live in that state, the Republican "President" who sits in the White House today had to get his buddies on the Supreme Court to sign a paper making him president! They selected a completely unqualified person with absolutely no political experience other than "son" of a past president. How crazy is that? And some people think he should run for the office of president again? It boggles the mind there are so many stupid people out there. People who cannot, or will not, see them for what they really are.
You see what I did there? I took the gung-ho anti - hillary review of Mar 4th, and changed some of the words around so it had the exact opposite effect. Playing with words is fun, wheeeee.

Summary: Fun stuff, and more than a little scary
Review: Five stars Madame Hillary is sharp, incisive, and often funny, portraying the power-grabbing, money-grubbing woman who aims to become President of the United States. It details the labyrthine of Political Action Committees, and organizations (media network, think tank, monster political organizations) that Clinton money is creating. It is obvious that Madame Hillary is building an army. The only question is whether she will run this year as the vice presidential candidate, or bid her time. This is an important book.

Summary: Doesn't anyone realize that Hillary Clinton is conservative?
Review: God, another piece of Right Wing paranoia. Friends, Hillary Clinton is quite conservative on all economic issues, slightly right of center on most foreign policy issues, and slightly (and only slightly) left of center on social issues. Why the gigantic gap between who Hillary Clinton actually is and who some people seem to need her to be? I think historians a hundred years from now are going to have trouble convincing so many nonsensical books about someone as bland and as benign as Hillary Clinton were written. I won't vote for her because she is way too conservative, but that doesn't mean that I can't be mystified about weird rants that see her as something she is not. What she is is a highly intelligent woman, with relatively conservative beliefs, and a host of right wing enemies who seem to be suffering from some strange group dimentia. She is bore. Get over it.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: Great book. Did Hillary ever give back all of the items she and Bill stole from the White House when they left? Someone should document that.

Summary: Bunch Of Liberal Crap ! ! !
Review: Hillary Clinton does nothing but show her lesbian loving heart to all. She is a true patriot of secularism, lies, fear, and power hunger. She is soooo pissed that she isn't in the White House. She has nothing elese to do but show her seething hate and anger for God and morality. If you want to get the smell of that dark brown stuff that floats in the sewer, read this book, you'll be a better turd for it.

Summary: Dark indeed
Review: I should start this review by saying I used to subscribe to the liberal agenda. I believed in state sponsored dole programs, government intervention in the affairs of everyday life, and the use of the judiciary to bring about change. Yes, my friends, I even voted for Bill Clinton in 1996. Then, about six or seven years ago, I experienced what I can only describe as an epiphanic experience, a Kuhnian paradigm shift in my political outlook. Several factors accounted for my sudden migration away from the liberal cosmology. Arguably the largest influence on my new sense of the world occurred from reading history. I quickly saw that the ideas of today's elites didn't jibe with reality, that these concepts had been tried before and had always failed. Even worse, not only did liberalism fail, it brought about the end of civilizations. The scandals emanating from the Clinton White House also did a lot to dampen my enthusiasm for the liberal "truths." Anyone who could blindly support the Clintons despite the deluge of lies, smears, and outright crimes perpetrated by the dynamic duo are truly pathetic creatures in dire need of help. The idea of Hillary Clinton running for, let alone winning, the presidency of this great nation is a notion that sends chills down my spine. "Hillary for President" also scares R. Emmett Tyrrell and Mark W. Davis, so much so that the two conservatives decided to write this slim novel outlining the ways Hillary will attempt to usher in an era of far left quackery the likes of which even Lenin, Stalin, and Mao could not have foreseen. According to Tyrrell and Davis, Hillary Clinton's background as a "coat and tie radical" in the 1960s and 1970s, along with her subsequent record as First Lady and her Senate career, should disqualify her from serving as President of the United States. The authors outline in ghastly detail the real Hillary Clinton, from her early work as a pro-Marxist ideologue following the tenets of radical troublemaker Saul Alinsky, to her article calling for the complete liberation of children from their parents, to her weird relationship with Willie. What emerges is a portrait of a woman so inebriated with power, so in love with herself and her pro-communist vision for America, that she will do almost anything to attain the Oval Office. Watching horror films and reading horror novels is one of my favorite hobbies, and let me tell you right here and now that "Madame Hillary" is one of the most horrific books I have ever read. Although the authors seem to think there is hope for stopping Hillary and her extremist agenda even if the public does put her into office in 2008, I have grave doubts whether the country could long survive another Clinton administration. Could Hillary Clinton become president in 2008? According to "Madame Hillary," anything is possible where the Clintons are involved. The attention seeking former first family never passes up an opportunity to grab the spotlight even at the expense of the current crop of presidential hopefuls. Hillary uses her position in the Senate to garner headlines, raises and dispenses millions through several PACs to other party apparatchiks, and carefully stakes out positions on pertinent issues of the day in an attempt to set herself up as a candidate in the next presidential election. Madame Hillary has her talons firmly planted around the throat of the Democratic Party, and she will use this position and influence to fulfill her "destiny." If that "destiny" comes to fruition, disaster will follow. How so? Remember the universal health care debacle of the early 1990s where she attempted to socialize our medical system? A Hillary regime would be much worse. Senator Clinton will attempt to socialize all aspects of our society by increasing entitlements to undreamt of levels, increasing taxes to European heights, and further radicalize the judiciary. She could win the presidency, but I have to believe she won't. Hopefully, too many people will remember the scandals. What drives Hillary Clinton to remake America? Saul Alinsky and her days as a radical at college inform our former First Lady's belief system. Tyrrell and Davis pored through Hillary's "Living History" and adroitly compared statements she made in the book with Alinsky's radical primer for overthrowing society. The comparisons are frightful. Senator Clinton's penchant for confrontation, her practice of emphasizing symbols over ethics, and the belief that discord instills meaning in one's life all mesh with the tripe found in Alinsky's book. Through these three tactics, Hillary Clinton will destroy all of our institutions and replace them with her own brand of leftist extremism. If you don't think the former First Lady is a leftist ideologue, look at what she says, at the groups that support her, and then visit the library to dig up Richard Hofstadter's "The Paranoid Style in American Politics." This short essay was written to expose the psychological contours of the far right, but the same analysis applies to all extremists. I think you'll see what Hillary Clinton is all about after reading this informative article. Then read "Madame Hillary." I have two complaints about the book. One, it isn't as funny as "Boy Clinton." You can tell Tyrrell didn't write the whole thing because the book is missing his trademark wit. Second, the heavy emphasis on power politics makes for a depressing read. Republicans and Democrats struggle not in an effort to accomplish anything but in order to grab power. I am already quite cynical about politics, and I know the book's descriptions of the shenanigans going on in Washington are true regardless of party, but I am always still surprised by the depths elites will go to attain power. Still, Hillary Clinton is the worst of the lot if her past record is any indication. Let's hope circumstances will keep her out of the White House forever.

Summary: Superb, and frightening protrait of Hillary
Review: I've always admired Daniel Patrick Moynihan. This books brings to light how the Clintons made such cheap use of such a great man. In one passage, it describes events in the Senate after the death of DPM. According to the authors, the death of a former senator is always announced on the floor of the Senate by the state's senior senator. Hillary, as the junior senator, rushed out of a meeting to make a premature eulogy on the floor of the Senate. This not only sidelined New York's senior senator, Chuch Schumer. It also upset the Moynihan family, which had not yet had time to make an announcement to the press. This kind of tackiness seems to be a Clinton hallmark. Hillary is less DPM's successor than she is his exploiter.
