Ed Klein smells a conspiracy?

From the Washington Post:

Despite the enormous hype surrounding Edward Klein's scathing and hearsay-filled book about Hillary Rodham Clinton, the author has been ignored by all but two television talk shows.

This collective cold shoulder hasn't stopped "The Truth About Hillary" from hitting No. 2 yesterday on the coveted New York Times list. "It's the biggest example to date of how major media censorship doesn't stop a book anymore from being a bestseller," Klein declares.

Censorship is clearly the wrong word, since networks have no obligation to interview any author. The refusal to book Klein could just as easily be viewed as the drawing of a line by news organizations over a highly personal attack that has drawn fire from several conservative columnists as well as those on the left.

"It's just been a total blackout," says Klein, adding that talk radio and some Web sites, including the Drudge Report, have driven sales of the book. "I definitely think there's something organized going on here."


Really? Is that really Ed's position? Since when can we Democrats organize anything? Don't get me wrong, the book was crap and that was so easy to prove that even Sean Hannity was going after Ed Klein about the book when Klein was on Hannity and Colmes.

When Sean Hannity thinks the book you wrote about Hillary Clinton is unfair and poorly researched, you have really managed to put together 300 pages of solid gold crap.

Congrats Ed. Your book sucks. But, just like with Coral Calcium, there are enough dumb people in the world that it is selling. Enjoy your money. You earned it by selling your integrity.
