Smear For Profit

John Podhoretz is a conservative writer and contributor to the Washington Times, New York Post, U.S. News & World Report, American Spectator, and television's Insight, and speechwriter for Ronald Reagan and George Bush. In 1994 and 1995, with the backing of telecommunications mogul Rupert Murdoch, Podhoretz helped to launch a conservative Washington magazine, Standard.

In a column entitled "Smear For Profit" this is what he wrote about Ed Klein's book, The Truth About Hillary:

This is one of the most sordid volumes I've ever waded through. Thirty pages into it, I wanted to take a shower. Sixty pages into it, I wanted to be decontaminated. And 200 pages into it, I wanted someone to drive stakes through my eyes so I wouldn't have to suffer through another word.

I don't think he liked it.
