Steer Clear of Latest HC-BS
Bulldogpundit at Ankle Biting Pundits has an entry up which is important enough for me to quote in its entirety.
Drudge is reporting that a new book about Hillary contains bombshell allegations that Chelsea was conceived when Bill raped her. This is a scurrilous allegation that our side should steer clear from for a variety of reasons. First, because something like that shouldn't be said without direct proof, which this guy doesn't have. Second, as much as I can't stand these 2, I can't imagine it's true (yes, I know the Juanita Broaddrick story is out there and she seems somewhat credible) and if I'm right it's not fair to them or Chelsea that this stuff is being bandied about. Hillary is reportedly PO'ed, and quite frankly, I don't blame her one bit.We have plenty of REAL ammunition on this 'lady' and we don't need to add unsubstantiated rumor to the mix.Worst of all, it gives real ammo to the so-far bogus lament of hers that she's a "victim" of a right wing conspiracy. Folks, if we buy into this, and if those that do go to far, we all look dumb. We can beat her on ideas, we don't need to be pushing this crap. Have the Clintons and their people pushed rotten stories about their enemies? Yup. But that doesn't mean we need to do the same.
A tip of the GM Chapeaux to Instapundit
Update: Todd Pearson at Reasonable Prudence agrees with me and with ABP.

Ed Klein, who wrote "The Truth About Hillary" is a former Newsweek editor and was once the editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine. He quotes an "unnamed source," which is the same person that the left quotes to attack conservatives. Maybe this is part of a vast left-wing conspiracy to make conservatives look bad.

It was sleazy to bring this up just to sell some books. Both Bill and Hillary are obviously going to deny it and it is completely unprovable otherwise.
