The Case Against Hillary Clinton

by Peggy Noonan

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 record 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-

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. And finally, in these pages

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.

Never before has the character of a first lady been so integral to the fate of a

presidential administration and no writer before Peggy Noonan has had the courage to

offer so uncompromising an estimation of Hillary Clinton as the one contained in this

book. The Case Against Hillary Clinton takes the measure of the woman, the

candidate, the striving politician--and offers a convincing argument that her calculated

bid for power will be the first truly important election of the new millennium.

I thought, seven years ago, that the Clintons might turn out to be inspiring. They had

guts, came from nowhere, were bright and hard-driving; he was educated, credentialed,

a political moderate but not a boring one; she appeared to be something new and
