Just as Hillary Clinton is celebrating raising $10 million last week, the presidential candidate has something to worry about.
A biography of the New York senator co-authored by Jeff Gerth, the New York Times reporter who first wrote about Whitewater, is filled with "explosive stuff" and "may force her to answer ethics charges in the Senate" in a partisan game of Hacky Sack to throw her off course, says our publishing source.
"Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Clinton," written with Don Van Natta, is due from Little, Brown in August, six months before moved-up primaries in many states. The authors got a million-dollar advance, New York magazine reported.
Gerth's writings about the Whitewater land deal in Arkansas spawned a highly politicized, $73 million federal investigation, which, as Joe Conason wrote on Salon.com, "found that Bill and Hillary Clinton had done nothing that could be prosecuted as a crime."
Writer Gene Lyons made a detailed criticism of Gerth's work in his book "Fools for Scandal," and Alexander Cockburn said reading his writings "is like bicycling through wet sand."
Gerth later wrote about Wen Ho Lee, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who was accused of stealing nuclear secrets and spent nine months in solitary confinement. Lee settled his lawsuit with the government for leaking damaging information about him to the press.
Three Little, Brown spokeswomen did not return calls for comment.
Hmm..interesting. Good luck, Hil! You're gonna need it
