It's amazing how many high level members of the Bush administration have resigned and come out saying how fucked up things are there.

And a lot of the stuff is corroboration upon corroboration.
If Clarke, a registered republican and Reagan appointee, wanted to just make money he would write his book exclusively as a tell all trashing Clinton and his terrorism response.
Clinton bashing books have the luxury of being backed by far right financiers like Richard Melon Scaife who purchase the book in huge bulk quantities. It's why Ann Coulter can make a living writing books. Her sales get artificially propped up and then the inflated bestseller ranking can take it from there.

No way in hell would a Clinton bashing book get the same press coverage that his Bush bashing book has in the last week. You can't buy the amount of publicity he's gotten. And the kicker is, it's all been free.
The money is there for Bush bashing, it's not there for Clinton bashing right now because that's what the market (and newspeople) crave.
When someone finds a story that sells, it's amazing how many of those stories suddenly appear.
