May 4, 2004 -- The publisher of Bill Clinton's forthcoming memoir is "despairing" that the ex-president hasn't churned out enough pages - and that the book is too full of self-justification and blaming of others, a new report claims. Clinton has procrastinated writing "My Life" - for which Random House's Alfred A. Knopf imprint paid a reported $12 million - to such an extent that only within recent weeks did he begin jotting down memories of 1998, when he faced impeachment over of his affair with Monica Lewinsky, Vanity Fair says in its new issue.

There's big pent-up demand for this book

Not in this house.

"Distance does not make the heart grow fonder," Clinton has told friends

I can't blame him much for that. It has never been anything other than a shame of a marriage to begin with. Hillary has always known what she was getting in to. She would rather have power than a marriage.

his befuddlement with everyday technology such as Palm Pilots, portable phones and ATMs.

... unaware that he needed to punch in his PIN number.

...inviting two middle-school students to his home, where he talked "about the impact of technology on everyday life.

Clinton reportedly only occasionally sees Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

What a guy!

Debunking of yet another lie by the liberal, elite, partisan media that Clinton was a genius. He was/is a horny, power-hungry, money grubbing bum with a wife who was/is even worse.

The former president is described as desperate for companionship: hitting a local bar to drink near-beer with a blue-collar crowd, dropping by an elementary school to watch a play, and inviting two middle-school students to his home, where he talked "about the impact of technology on everyday life."

LOL .. What a Loser

Clinton's slow going prompted famed editor Robert Gottlieb to start sleeping overnight at the former president's home in Chappaqua as he helps the much-distracted Clinton finish the tome.

And I feel sorry for this guy .. could you imagine spending 24/7 listenting to Clinton brag about how great his is

Notice that they do not specify the gender of the students.

The publisher of Bill Clinton's forthcoming memoir is "despairing" that the ex-president hasn't churned out enough pages....

This is weird. Cindy Adams wrote in the Post yesterday that his handwritten manuscript was quite long - 4000 pages.

Bill Clinton's Very Long Life (claims bio is 4,000 pages longhand, will have $35+ price tag)

Maybe he's writing it on Post-Its.

Hellary was on LKL recently telling how she's read his manuscript, that he is doing final revisions on it and she thinks it's a great book

The two of them have told so many lies, they're unable to recognize the truth.

But a Clinton friend says, "He does not act like he has anything to be ashamed about . . . He really believes this was some right-wing conspiracy and he didn't do anything wrong.

Delusional.

I'll bet this is some sort of set up to make us conservatives look foolish. Remember, just before Hillary's book came out, the story was that she had reneged on her deal with the publishers and had failed to deliver a manuscript of any kind, which turned out to be untrue.

Not to mention the terror of using a sink in that place.

I'll bet that manuscript IS finished and is either at the publishers or in Clintons office.

Pathological aptly describes the Clinton Legacy. He's left the nation with a perverted sense of Americanism and presidential leadership. Clinton is a very disturbed man. We need to have an unbiased, un-politically correct psychiatrist diagnose this individual.

Clinton's self-absorption, his outsize sense of entitlement are appalling......he thinks the world owes him a living; the rest of us have to kneel in obeisance to his perverted self, and should anyone dare to speak out, they are slapped down with the Clintons' VRWC whip.
