Slime Thy Enemy Philip Kearney

Thebook deals with a report that the President groped a female reporter inthe Oval Office. This is one of many charges recently leveled againstthe President. To combat these charges, the President and his Chief ofStaff decide to form a covert group in the White House to smear hisenemies. Two misfits are recruited to carryout this campaign; one is an FBI agent and the other a Staff writer inthe USDA. Both are about to be fired from the government. They areassigned to a nonexistent office in the Old Executive Office Building. Ample resources are made available to hire additional personnel: including a retired FBI agent, a former US senator close to indictment and a secretary with limited clerical abilities. The book is apolitical and does not involve the two major parties. Fivetargets are identified by the White House: a whistle blower who iscritical of the President's energy polices; a popular radio commentatorwho is receiving sensitive inside information from the White House; anUnder Secretary of State who represents a challenge to the President;the potential Presidential candidate and a groped female reporter. Theaction shifts from a biker-bar in California, a country music station in Oklahoma, the State Department and the business /theater districts in New York City. With some misinformation, superb timing and a lot of luck, the group isamazingly adept at solving many of the President's problems.
