It's a *long* read, but well worth it. At the risk of condensing it too far, it makes the case that Clinton has a superb (almost photographic) memory and a natural ability to charm people by sensing what they want to hear (and an emotional need to do so), but that he suffers from almost no ability to analyze information himself. He's just good at covering it and *looking* like his mind is going 100mph.

Thanks, I went to the piece and read it. (A good subtitle for the article would have been "The Attention Deficit Disorder President.") The Clinton it describes reminds me of myself in some ways (reading five books at once and finishing none of them).

The Clinton it describes reminds me of myself in some ways (reading five books at once and finishing none of them).

I am thinking of the Marie Antoinette bio on the edge of the bathtub, the Cleopatra on the vanity, the Henry VIII bio on the nightstand, the Caleb Carr on the end table in the living room, the the George Martin on top of my monitor, and the Morrowind manual (which shouldn't count) on my computer desk, and shuffling my feet sheepishly. (And not mentioning the copy of Dangerous Liaisons in my purse.)
