Summary: Informative and shocking
Comment: James Carville, set out to do the same thing he says Ken Starr did Starr, launching a paristan attack. However, James Carville doesn't have supeona power and isn't a government employee. James Carville has the right to be partisan and polimic because he is a private citizen. Ken Starr doesn't have that right because he the Special Prosecutor. I didn't agree with Mr. Carville that the Clinton's committed no crimes in Whitewater, I think that Congress needed to appoint an independent Counsul to investigate it. However after reading this book I certainly don't believe that Ken Starr should ever have been appointed to the post. The conflicts of interests of Starr that Carville documents are too many to count. Whatever you think of Bill Clinton he never should have been hounded by the not-too-Independant Counsul. I'm giving the book four stars because James Carville made many valid points.

Summary: This book has new relevance after election 2000
Comment: I have been a fan of Carville for many years, but this is the first book that I have ever read by the Ragin' Cajun. First of all, and with all do respect, his writing style is much more relaxed than his "boiling" over demeanor that we often see on TV. This book is a hilarious but factual description of how Kenneth Starr from the get-go was the vessel of radical conservative movement willing to blatantly subvert the law and the constitution of the United States to bring down and humiliate Bill Clinton and his wife. Meticulous in detail and well documented, the book brings to light the blatant use of the "unbiased" legal system as a political weapon. This abuse will involve many of the same players two years later in the judicial coup of 2000. As if the reader needed additional reminders about the subject of the book, the pages are sporadically peppered with comical mini shots of Ken Starr's mug giving his sanctimonious non-smile or his bogus concerned lip pursing among other poses. This is a great little book, I am glad I found it.

Summary: Starr Wars
Comment: If you are looking at this book then you probably know exactly what this book is about and the tone the author takes. You are probably a Clinton supporter and are looking for a book that gives you some nice facts to reinforce your dislike of old Mr. Starr. Well that is exactly what this book offers, 160 pages of anti Starr. It warmed my heart that there is an author out there that can give as good as he gets and fights back for all the negative anti Clinton smears we have lived with over the years. Is the book full of facts, well they are facts that I want to hear. Are they the whole story? Well probably not, these types of books do not tend to present the full picture, just the picture I want to see, but you probably already know that.
This book delivered what I wanted, anti Starr info. It reinforced my opinion that the whole Star thing was just one long political dirty tricks campaign that old Tricky Dick would have been proud of. I would have liked the author to have also focused some on the Republicans that were full steam ahead on the whole Starr thing and all the bogus themes they came up with to investigate. What is sad is that so much money and time was spent on nothing, but uneducated hatred with the funny part being that most Americans now view the investigation as just a dirty political motivated hate campaign. Overall the book is fun and has a fight back attitude about it. It will only take a few hours to read so you do not feel so bad given the book is more fast food then steak dinner.
