Book Description
The book that started it all! Ann Coulter's High Crimes
and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton.
Written with Coulter's trademark irreverent wit, the best-selling High
Crimes and Misdemeanors is available for the first time in paperback.
Readers of Ann Coulter's best-selling Slander will love High Crimes and
Misdemeanors.
In this New York Times bestseller, Coulter mercilessly
pillories Clinton and examines the abuses and excesses of Bill Clinton
point by point.
She also shreds every conceivable defense the Clintons
to bits as she probes the major Clinton scandals, including Monica, Filegate,
the China connection, the travel office snafu, and the fundraising fiascos.
And Coulter does it all in her own inimitable style.
Bill Clinton pledged to run "the most ethical
administration in the history of the republic." In High Crimes and
Misdemeanors, conservative lawyer and pundit Ann Coulter finds this
promise laughably off the mark.
Although she devotes a fair amount of space
to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Coulter covers the gamut of Clinton controversies,
from the Whitewater deal to the death of Vincent Foster to Filegate (plus
others--ever heard of "Wampumgate"?).
Her tone is aggressively anti-Clinton, but she
also has the virtue of engaging and straightforward prose that explains
why each individual scandal matters. (The chapter on Whitewater begins:
"This is the boring part. Whitewater gets interesting only when you understand
why it is boring. It is boring by design, like a New York Times
editorial. Don't skip to the next chapter! That's just what the Clintons
want you to do.")
The best section of the book is a serious examination
of the impeachment process--how the Founding Fathers envisioned it, how
it's been used throughout history, and why, in Coulter's opinion, it should
be invoked against Clinton. --John J. Miller
