It's not every day that a conservative writer can count on a Newsweek to announce the publication of his next book. But that's what the newsweekly has done for our Bob Tyrrell, in Evan Thomas's piece in the March 5 issue on the Clintons and David Geffen:

"... R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., the editor of The American Spectator, which first printed salacious details from Arkansas state troopers about Clinton's sex life, is publishing a book titled "The Clinton Crack-up: The Boy President's Life After the White House."

The publisher is Thomas Nelson, and publication date is March 20.

As for Thomas's story, the second most noteworthy thing about it is the reaction of Newsweek's readers. I expected at least a few Joe Conasons to weigh in to denounce Thomas or Tyrrell and defend Lady Hillary with all their heart and soul. Instead we get a steady outpouring of comments from liberals and independents uniformly disdainful of Hillary and her husband. Can she be called a polarizer if everyone is against her?
