Conspiratorial & Malicious...

Sidney Blumenthal is not a bad writer, but as mean-sprited, malicious and nasty as anyone in Washington's press corps. Also a wild-eyed Lefty.

Writing for the WashPost he once attacked a dear friend and associate of mine on what I believe to be wholly erroneous ond politically-motivated grounds.

Blumenthal was "former assistant and Senior Advisor to President Clinton" according to book jacket.

Comes now How Bush Rules --- Chronicles of a Radical Regime. It is published by the Princeton University Press at $26.95. (A university publishing that drivel?)

It is full of cabals, conspiracries, coup d' etats and more.

I've just started it so I'll spare you chapter and verse.

If you are a mean-spirited, malicious, conspirital Lefty --- by all means buy it.

Otherwise sane people should steer clear.
