As the long, scandal-ridden trial of the Clinton years comes to an end -- and as the first lady mounts her own campaign for independent political office -- it is time for a summation. What is the legacy of Clintonism? What is there in Hillary Clinton's background, talents, or rec...ord of achievement that qualifies her to represent New York in the U.S. Senate? And, most important, what will happen if Hillary should win this fall? Where will her ambition lead her next?Peggy Noonan, one of our most astute political observers and a speechwriter for the Reagan White House, argues in this passionate and compelling book that everyone in the United States -- not just New Yorkers -- must look closely at Hillary and the implications of her Senate bid. The Case Against Hillary Clinton offers an eye-opening assessment of the scandals and failures of the Clinton years, from Whitewater to health care to the Filegate and Travelgate affairs -- casting a revealing light on the first lady's motives and behavior. It poses searching questions about the difference between the citizens of New York and the Clintons of Arkansas; between public service and lip service; between the whole truth and the shameless parade of evasion and spin the first couple has marshaled throughout their White House years. Finally, Noonan calls on us to consider the climate of deception and disgrace the Clintons have left in their wake -- weakening our nation's moral standing and damaging our political process in ways that will take years to heal.
