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.

It Was
"...Hard enough to live my life the first time. The second time has really been tough," Bill Clinton told Vanity Fair with a laugh. I'll bet it has been tough. Waking up each morning and laughing in the mirror, grinning to himself that he's still a free citizen after all this time.

My favorite line about the Clinton marriage was from Dennis Miller:
"The Clinton's marriage couldn't be more convenient if they put a Slurpee machine and a rack of Slim Jims on the headboard."

"Maybe he misbehaved in his marriage, but so has every other president in the last 50 or 100 years." Yet another "friend" of Bill lying his a$$ off. Ever heard of Ronald Regean or Bush Sr. friend?

Please -- calling Bill Clinton "Ozark trailer trash" is really insulting to the people in Ozark trailer parks.
It's guys like Clinton that give turds a bad name.

No, to his eternal disgrace, I'm sure he does not but that doesn't mean he shouldn't.

This article simply underscores Billy Jeff's lack of discipline and focus. He's immature, and self-absorbed. And to think, he was president for 8 long years. I'm sure he had fun, even if the rest of us didn't.
It was too much to hope for that he would simply go away at the end of his term.

"The Clinton's marriage couldn't be more convenient if they put a Slurpee machine and a rack of Slim Jims on the headboard."I had heard that as well, and got a big laugh out of it. Thanks for the reminder!

There's big pent-up demand for this book OK, so they don't print the Sears-Roebuck catalog any more, but surely people still have corncobs.

Well, I'm open to suggestion, just as long as it's not too violent.

There's the old joke about writing "stupid" on a shovel and hitting someone with it.
That probably wouldn't work on them anyway.
They need de-programmed.
