Klein's Hillary Book Hits #2 on NY Times List

Despite a near total embargo by TV networks against his book, Edward Klein's sensational new biography of Hillary Clinton will hit the #2 spot on the New York Times best-seller list, NewsMax has learned.

The Times' non-fiction list, which will debut July 10, indicates the book – "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President" – has generated an avalanche of interest.

The book was released just last week and has already created a storm of controversy throughout the liberal media world.

In an unusual move, Sen. Clinton's staff immediately and publicly condemned the book. Quietly, they also have been contacting television programs to keep Klein off major shows.

So far, the TV censorship effort has worked, with major networks such as Fox, MSNBC, NBC and others canceling scheduled appearances with Klein.

But Sen. Clinton's efforts to stop the book – perhaps the most revealing account of her public and private life ever written – has backfired, if book sales are any indication.

Well, here's my question: If there's defamatory stuff in the book, why not obtain a court injunction or sue for damages?
