2. That's rich
You show outrage over this when you post bullshit time and time again about Obama. So, should we not take anything you say seriously since you are an Obama hater? Just asking.

9. Amazon editor review and reader reviewers call it very fair.
The profile in ambition is rich in anecdote, spending far more time on Clinton's Senate career than Carl Bernstein's bio. Far from a conservative hit job, their reportage tends to focus on public reaction to Clinton rather than to her politics, with the notable exception of her 2002 vote to support George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq, including her vocal support of the theory that Saddam Hussein supported Al Qaeda, and her subsequent attempts to reinvent herself as an anti-war presidential candidate without refuting her previous position. The analysis of the early stages of her presidential campaign is somewhat hurried by necessity, but effectively supplements the balanced character study. Though they face stiff competition, Gertz and Van Natta's version of events is poised to gain traction.

14. others do not call it fair - indeed it was called a smear/bash when first released - but
it is the spin and interpretation and the guessing at motive that is in question - they get dates and quotes correct.
