Speaking of liars, did anyone see Ann Richards last night? I don't know if she was on Larry King or what. I just surfed by in time to hear her claim that the administration said the war in Iraq would take one week. Is this woman back on the sauce? Arrrgggghhh.
Opera great Beverly Sills stalked by a 39-year-old female truck driver who wanted to marry her, story here.
A drug figure was gunned down in NYC, and Candice Bergen and Lorraine Bracco rushed to the scene, as honorary police commanders for the day. Story (which I assume we'll soon see on Law and Order).
Bill Clinton is all hopped up over his book:
Friends of Bill Clinton better start screening their calls. The former President is feeling chatty. For weeks, Clinton has been holed up in his Chappaqua home as he and Knopf editor Robert Gottlieb saw and chisel the 900-page autobiography titled "My Life." The book is apparently going through its final buffing this week, and the former Oval Officer has been reaching out to pals to give them tastes of his prose.
They never know when he'll strike.
Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.) was sound asleep at 6:30 a.m. this week when the phone rang. It was Sen. Hillary Clinton. "She was very apologetic about calling me at home," King tells us. "She said the President needed to check some facts." [Hillary acting as x42's secretary now?]
King, one of four Republicans who voted against Clinton's impeachment, had heard from the ex-President a few weeks earlier. "He called me on the House floor. He was very serious - shuffling papers, like some editor was watching over his shoulder."
But during this wakeup call, King says, Clinton was "in a more expansive mood. He was pumped." [Cocaine will do that to a person]
"He didn't seem like he needed to check facts so much as try out what he'd written on somebody. He was like a guy with a new Cadillac," says King, who worked with Clinton on the Northern Ireland peace initiative. "[Clinton] said, 'That sounds good, doesn't it?' I said, 'Yeah, it sounds great.' ... It sounded just like him. He certainly was proud of it."
King, who has written two novels, added, "He's going to be the best book promoter the world has ever seen." link
LOL!
I was surfing a bit last night too and saw the ever appalling Ann but didn't linger long enough to hear that whopper.
We all know who told the world it would take a week.
Poor Ann, she cain't help it, she was born with her head up her rear.
