"Hillary Rodham Clinton's $8 million book contract has been greeted with what might be called the usual hypocrisy. The same Republican conservatives who defended (or discreetly ignored) the $4.5 million publishing contract signed by Newt Gingrich in 1995 are, of course, outraged five years later. The same liberal Democrats who demanded a special prosecutor for him back then are now silent about her."

What a load. Its true that we saw no problem with Newt's book deal. But what outraged us about Hillary's book deal is not the advance, not the book deal, but the hypocrisy coming from the left. In order to falsely paint us the ones as hypocrites, you purposely neglect the real reason we acted outraged. Becuase the left, who raised hell over Newts book deal, fell silent over Hillary's.
