Ed Klein: Saint Hillary Loses Her Halo

If you want to know where the Democratic Party is headed, think about this:

I’ve been writing about Hillary Clinton for more than a dozen years — ever since the Monica Lewinsky scandal — and it will hardly come as a surprise to those of you who have read my books that my critical opinion of Hillary has made me a pariah among liberals — especially among the liberal mainstream media.

Before I started writing about Hillary, I wrote several books about the Kennedys, and in those days I was a welcome guest on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Charlie Rose, Larry King — practically everywhere on TV.

However, once I started portraying Hillary for what she is — an angry, self-righteous politician, who blames everybody but herself for her problems — I was no longer invited to sit with my old friends in front of a TV camera and discuss the news.

Well, folks, that may be about to change.

Two card-carrying members of the liberal mainstream media — Amie Parness and Jonathan Allen — who wrote a gushy book about Hillary a couple of years ago, have apparently seen the light.

They are coming out with a book today that tells it like it is. The book is called "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign," and it portrays Hillary as — you guessed it! —an angry, self-righteous politician who blames everybody but herself for her problems.

And why do I think this is important?

For the simple reason that the same Amie Parness — on the day before publication of her new book — wrote a piece for The Hill, a political newspaper, in which she described Bernie Sanders — not Hillary Clinton — as the key to rebuilding the Democratic Party as it struggles to find its identity after the devastating defeat in 2016.

Mark this date: The liberal mainstream media is leaving Hillary and moving further and further to the left — away from Saint Hillary and into the arms of the socialist Bernie Sanders.
