Nuts From The Underground

The right-wing blogosphere is the New Underground. Their livelihoods and, yes, their very lives, threatened by a death-dealing Senator Hillary Clinton, these rebel souls were driven underground, like the A-Team, or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

So says Richard Poe, who surfaced, pale and mole-like, just long enough to pimp his latest tome from World Nut Daily Books.

The premise of the book is that Hillary Clinton "understood the power of the Internet and 'vowed to crush it before it could expose her crimes.'" Poe's publisher promises that the book delivers the following thrilling and highly credible revelations:

Hillary's success in purging Andrew Sullivan at The New Republic ... and her inability (so far) to stifle his growing influence online.

That's a new one. Since Sully's still on the TNR masthead and presumably gets paid for those idiotic "fiskings" TNR regularly publishes, Hillary's effectiveness is vastly overrated. Kind of like Sully's "growing influence online."

How the New Underground exposed the Clintons' connection to Iran-Contra.

I missed that expose too. Did the Clintons sell weapons to Iran or funnel money to the Contras? Or both?

How the New Underground knew Ken Starr was the wrong man for job ... and how the Clinton's (sic) couldn't have asked for anyone better.

How did they know? Starr leaked it to them.

The Clinton "body count."

Sully should be grateful Hillary didn't waste him.

The down and dirty on the Clintons' harassment of David Horowitz and Drudge, including how Sidney Blumenthal's $30 million suit against Drudge was ordered by the White House.

And so on for 272 pages of large print and wide margins, cut-and-pasted from the bowels of the 'Net with meticulous care.

World Nut Daily must be the most economically efficient publisher around -- it keeps selling the same book to the gullible and chinless time and time again.
