Ruddy said Scaife was not involved in its day-to-day decisions.
He noted that the company made money from book sales generated on the site and predicted that the book would be popular not just among Clinton's opponents, but also readers of sensational publications who are fascinated by her celebrity.
"The people who buy tabloids with Hillary on the cover are buying it because they are intrigued by her, not necessarily because of the politics," Ruddy said.
Clinton's advisers have struck back forcefully, apparently mindful that the Kerry campaign's failure to respond quickly to the attacks last year took a major toll on his campaign.
Her advisers have dismissed the book as one "full of blatant and vicious fabrications."
