No One Left to Lie to: The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton - Christopher Hitchens

Descriere No One Left to Lie to: The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton - Christopher Hitchens

In this expanded edition of Hitchens' slow motion citizen's cardiac arrest of the Clinton presidency, he looks at Clinton's influence on the 2000 election, Hillary Clinton's run for a New York Senate seat, and how he claims the net of corruption in Democratic fundraising is cast far and wide. What a treat this nasty little bonbon is!--Seattle Weekly. \n \nJust as the necessary qualification for a good liar is a good memory, so the essential equipment of a would-be lie detector is a good timeline, and a decent archive.\n \nIn No One Left to Lie To, a New York Times bestseller, Christopher Hitchens casts an unflinching eye on the Clinton political machine and offers a searing indictment of a president who sought to hold power at any cost.\n \nWith blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right, and he argues that the president's personal transgressions were ultimately inseparable from his political corruption.\n \nHitchens questions the president's refusals to deny accusations of rape by reputable women and lambasts, among numerous impostures, his insistence on playing the race card, the shortsightedness of his welfare bill, his ludicrous war on drugs, and his abandonment of homosexuals in the form of the Defense of Marriage Act.\n \nOpportunistic statecraft, crony capitalism, divide and rule identity politics, and populist manipulations-these are perhaps Clinton's greatest and most enduring legacies.\n
