Timing of Clinton Memoir Is Everything, for Kerry

There is absolutely nothing that I want to know about Bill Clinton that I don't already know. Besides, he will make it up whether it really happened or not. In other words, he will lie, again.

I have never seen a press that is so damn enthralled with someone as they are with the Clintons. They almost worship them as do the democrat party faithfuls. It's disgusting.

If any of them think Clinton cares what John Kerry and his campaign think they are in for a huge surprise. He will put his book out when he feels like it regardless of the timing.

[CaptainK]

I can't wait for the chapter where he declares his undying love for the Hilderbeast.

[Charles Henrickson]

an inveterate procrastinator

Translation: a draft-dodging liar.

[Congressman Billybob]

"CAUSE the defeat of" not "CASE the defeat of."

A million pardons, please.

I was almost hoping to get flamed so that the mental imagery I unintentionaly created would be burned beyond recognition.

[Cosmo]

"roll of quarters" is what I heard

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[". . . legacy of scandal and achievement",]

What achievement?

He didn't screw things up nearly as much as he could have. That's an achievement of sorts.

[Graymatter]

Very astute, Howlin. Clinton's got a dilemma there. He'll sell more books in the politically charged atmosphere of an imminent election---but at the same time, he'll distract from Kerry's campaign.

What will Bill do? Pelf or principle?

Tough choice? Not for Beelzebubba!

[ladyinred]

Many Democrats said they wanted the book published as far as possible before the election

My gosh they think we are all stupid!

[Tymesup]

I can't wait to hear about his romp(s) with Juanita.

And nature walks with Vince.

Mountain climbing with Ron.

Fireworks with the FALN.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

But they still haven't revealed who will be the centerfold in Bill's book.
My money is on Janet Reno.

The Clintons will do whatever they want when they want and ketchup boy better get used to it.

[Charles Henrickson]

My gosh they think we are all stupid!

Hey, he got elected--twice--didn't he?

[kcvl]

Not with any of my help I am very happy to say.

[danamco]

"He takes a long time to finish things and he's never happy, and he fills up the wastebasket."


I thought that Monica did all that???

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[People who have heard passages are quiet when it comes to the most sensational anticipated subject in the book, his affair with Monica S. Lewinsky, though one associate confirmed that he did address it. In Mrs. Clinton's book "Living History," she suggests that her husband's motives are for him to tell.]

Bill: "Ah'm just a horn dog and ah cain't resist them trailer trash interns. Besides -- look at Hillery for goodness sake. I've seen better looking cows than her. Why, if it wasn't for that turkey baster, I might never be a father."

[BenLurkin]

Understood - but too little credit is given to the work of Congress after America returned the House of Representatives to Republican leadership.

[kcvl]

I am not convinced that he is the father and never will be. There is no way that Chelsea Clinton can look so much like Web Hubbell and be Bill Clinton's child. No way!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I give them a LOT of credit. Newt and co. saved our bacon, for sure.

[chilepepper]

watch for its release to maximize damage to kerry, and maximize advantage to hitlery with an eye to 2008

if it looks like kerry will autodestruct BEFORE the convention, then things will get very interesting indeed if hitlery thinks she can get in this year...

[Mike Bates]

Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who is close to Mr. Clinton, said his fellow Democrats should relax. "We should stop being so morose about Clinton," he said. "He's a plus."

The correct word is putz, Bill. Close, but no cigar, as your former boss would say.
