Former President Bill Clinton says he is working round the clock to complete memoirs for which he received a $12 million advance, and friends say he is stuck on what has become his favorite subject: himself, according to a story in Vanity Fair on Monday. In an interview with Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Robert Anson, Clinton says he is obsessed with getting his long-awaited memoirs done, although he only started on his White house years around four months ago.

"I am literally hardly sleeping. I am working around the clock. I am killing myself because I want (my memoirs) done. ... Hard enough to live my life the first time. The second time has really been tough," he told Anson.

Clinton said he was not interested in paying back his adversaries but in setting the record straight. "I have no power, and I can't do anything to anybody else anyway," he told Anson,

Anson said that those who socialize with Clinton say there's no off switch even when he's relaxed. One unnamed friend said of Clinton, "He just talks. You don't really have a conversation with him. He never asks about you. He never asks you your opinions on anything. He just loves to talk and have an audience.

"He is just self-absorbed. Totally. Not really interested in anything does or what they think. Except what do they think about what he is doing and what he is saying."

Another said, "He's like a walking Google. I don't care what word you put in, he will keep going and going."

Others describe him as a man who hates to be alone and who dominates every social setting he is in.

Anson added that Clinton's "exhaustively analyzed marriage" seems healthy, too, despite gossip linking him to a multi-continent harem. Stories also have him intending to divorce Hillary... Nonsense, say friends, who relate witnessing manifold instances of stroking and smooching.

"They are the two most co-dependent people in the world," says friend James Carville, a Democratic pundit and former Clinton campaign adviser.

"Clinton working around the clock"

Whoops, an extra 'l' there...

He is just self-absorbed.

They are just now figuring this out?

[WorkingClassFilth]

I'm going to send him a lawnbag full of vomit. Would that qualify as an opinion on his legacy from the Heartland?

friends say he is stuck on what has become his favorite subject: himself,

He has BECOME his favorite subject?!! He ALWAYS was his favorite subject. Everything was ALWAYS about him.

[InvisibleChurch]

He is just self-absorbed.

there's always a bit of truth if you can find it

Where's the PROJECTILE VOMITING ALERT??????

They are the two most co-dependent people in the world," says friend James Carville, a Democratic pundit and former Clinton campaign adviser.

Yup if either of them decide to tell the truth the other will be in jail.

"I am literally hardly sleeping."

Illiteracy might not be so bad after all.

[mdittmar]

Hmmm,sounds like a "middle class tax cut" speech I heard a few years back.

The idiot keeps using the same old lines.

Bet they still work on the interns.

Someday in the future when people are willing to look at this period in history in an objective manner, they are going to marvel that this nation even survived eight years with such a mentally unbalanced man in the White House.

"They are the two most co-dependent people in the world," says friend James Carville, a Democratic pundit and former Clinton campaign adviser. "

Come on Carville!

What is so hard in saying:

"He is horn-dog womanizer and so is she!"

Bump for later, this has got to be a new low in lying.

I'm laughing too hard so will read later when I can compose myself.

Only if no one upstages him before then...

Balony!

The only thing clinton ever did around the clock was sell out this Coountry and get blow jobs from skanks such as monica lewinsky and babs stristand [sp?].

He may have some of his worshippers working on his book around the clock, but that is another story.

Personally, the only thing that I want to read or hear after clinton's name can't be printed.

[Drango]

Clinton: "I don't know how those members of the VRWC snuck her past security, but when Monica turned around, bent over, flipped up her dress and showed me her thong...I knew those Republicans, they...they were evil."

Where is the barf alert?

Or does the name clinton imply barf alert?

"I am literally hardly sleeping. I am working around the clock. I am killing myself because I want (my memoirs) done. ... Hard enough to live my life the first time. The second time has really been tough," he told Anson.

I see that he was given back that suspicious vial of white powder.

Which he never inhaled.
