Andrew Sullivan on the Squid: OFF HIS MEDS AND IN THERAPY: St. Bill! In Sid’s Gospel (little Sid finds God in Bill)
Which reminds me what The Clinton Wars evoked for me. It has the tone and manner and piety of one of those "Lives of the Saints" books most Catholic school kids were once forced to read at some point or other. It’s not a memoir, or a history. It’s a Gospel. Its facts are assembled, as the facts in the Gospels were assembled, for one purpose only: to affirm the faith, to rally the flock, to spread the further glory of the Church. It’s an allegory of eternal good and evil—a passion narrative with a scriptural past and a resurrection at the end, the first-person narrative of one saint who prevailed.
Pure slime.

Thanks for bringing him here.

That comment from Andrew Sullivan is spot on. That is exactly what is going on with the books coming out, and don't forget, Bill's is due out next summer, just in time for the elections.
