DRUDGE HAS A SNEAK PEEK AT THE NEW BOOK BY Washington Post reporter John Harris, which chronicles the "highs and lows" of the Clinton White House.

--Hillary taunted her husband's aides as being wimps by not fighting hard enough on Whitewater - "JFK had real men in his White House!" (pg. 108)

--The first conversation between Clinton and Gore after the Lewinsky story broke. Clinton is shouting at Gore, "This is a fucking coup d'etat!" Gore just stared back blankly. pg 313.

--Former White House counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke on the record hitting Clinton for not having the guts to fire FBI director Louis Freeh, who Clarke called a major obstacle on anti-terrorism policy. "He should have just fired Freeh and taken the shit it would have caused." (pg. 408)

Plus this juicy line from Willy on why he nominated the husband of Sally Quinn for the Presidential Medal of Freedom:

"Anyone who sleeps with that bitch deserves a medal!" he explained.
