Hoist by their own Petard
For those of you who aren't familiar with the phrase, "hoist by your own Petard," they were early fuse-activated grenades. With quality control what it was back then, some fuses burned faster than others. You might find your Petard going off in your hand, blowing you into the air. Hence the phrase.
Well,the Liberal New York Times finds themselves hoist by their own Petard. Klein's 'Truth About Hillary' Hits N.Y. Times Again; Paper Lashes Out.
The Truth About Hillary has debuted at #2 on the NYT Best Seller list, embarrassing the paper. While they can celebrate hit pieces against the President and his Administration all day long, this hit piece against Hillary has the NYT in an uproar.
The liberal Gray Lady apparently doesn't like the fact that one of its own - Klein is former editor of the New York Times Magazine - penned a biting biography of one of the paper's icons, Hillary Rodham Clinton.The Times has yet to review the book, but took the unusual step in Sunday's book section to publish a disclaimer attacking the book from pillar to post in a sidebar column adjacent to the best-seller list.
"'The Truth About Hillary' has united [no easy task] literary critics," Timesman Dwight Garner fumed, adding "it is easily this year's most vilified book."
Like I said, it's hated only because it goes against Hillary. Otherwise the author would be on every talk show, the book would be reviewed from now until Wednesday, and it would be the talk of the town. Well, it is the talk of the town despite the best efforts of the media to squelch the talk.
