Source: Goodreads. Hitchens published the book toward the end of Bill Clinton's presidency. So by the time I saw it in the bookstore, it was over a decade old. I bought it only because I enjoy reading the writings of Christopher Hitchens; I often disagree with him, but I never find him boring.
When I wasn't sure that I'd ever read it, but I bought it anyway. After all, though I wanted to read Hitchens's writings, the issues he writes about are old. I was not even in high school when the Clinton scandals took place. I have scattered memories of riding in the car with my father and listening to Rush Limbaugh talk about some of the scandals. But beyond that I don't have much of a recollection. But when Hillary Clinton declared that she was running for president, I thought I would read the book.
But it was clear in reading it that Christopher Hitchens just did not like the Clintons. So I thought I would share several passages from the book so that you can see the types of comments that Hitchens makes. Source: Wikimedia.
Some of you might not care to read this. But maybe some of you do. Maybe you liked reading Christopher Hitchens and so want to read his comments about the Clintons; maybe you just don't like the Clintons and so would like to read Hitchens's comments. So, for those of you who are interested in reading them, what follows is a selection of quotes from Hitchens's book.
In the opening sentences of the book, Hitchens explains that his book isn't a neutral analysis of the Clintons:. And it maintains, even insists, that the two most salient elements of Clintonismโโthe personal crookery on the one hand, and the cowardice and conservatism on the otherโโare indissolubly related.
