Monday August 21, 2000; 12:01 AM EDT AP Breaks Impeachment Book Embargo on Slow Saturday It's a long tradition with the Clinton-friendly press corps. Got a hot story that could damage the White House? Break it Friday afternoon while nobody's paying attention. Better yet, do it on a summer Saturday, after news editors have wrapped up Sunday editions and are rushing off to the beach. The Associated Press picked this past Saturday's news trough to break the story of David Schippers' book "Sellout: The Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment." The book had been embargoed by publishing house Regnery till September 1. The man who had succeeded in impeaching an elected president for the first time in American history had written a genuine expose - and what he has to say gives the lie to the conventional wisdom about that most contentious of all political battles. The AP lead captured the book's essence without hinting at the darker secrets Schippers reveals: "Republican leaders in the Senate succumbed to political pressure and 'sold out' the House members who impeached President Clinton, ensuring the Senate would not remove him from office, the chief investigator contends in a new book." Even without the juicier tidbits, that's rather startling news, especially considering that Schippers is a lifelong Democrat who voted for Clinton twice. What if a senior Iran-Contra prober had alleged that the Democratic leadership went into the tank during that investigation? Would editors have saved that bombshell for a day when newspapers are barely read? Worse still, with a leading wire service already covering the Schippers book, it will no doubt be deemed "old news" when copies actually become available to the general public. No headlines come September guarantee lower book sales. As it was, none of the major New York dailies even bothered to carry the AP report - rendering the release of one of the most important books in years a virtual non-event. NewsMax.com got its advanced copy the same time the AP did. But we're respecting the Regnery embargo, and saving the real bombshells - and there are several the AP failed to note - for a day when readers can actually access the book and read it for themselves.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
