Bubba's Big Book
After years of writing, former President Clinton finally delivered 'My Life' to the publishers last Thursday.
Now that editors have the text, says spokesman Jim Kennedy, 'the publishers have given the president his life back.'
He's now getting ready for the book tour, where writers cramp from writing the book will be replaced by the writers cramp from autographing it.
Friends say pulling together the 992 page text wasn't easy:
One said Clinton wrote 800 pages before he even reached the subject of his presidency.

So is he going to tell us all about his trip to Moscow, or his drug dealing, or his rape of Juantia Brodderick?
This is obviously OCD in action.
Stunning.
Awwww shucks..... I bet they can condense it to a 100 pages or so and cover everything.....
How about 'An 800 Page Ode to Gennifer Flowers'
Can I get the Cliff's notes version with Dolly Kyle Browning, Gennifer, Moanica and the Miss Arkansas Elizabeth Ward Gracen in it?
Or 800 pages on Hillary's lesbian flings and throwing lamps at him?
The ashtray story ought to be of Wolfean proportions. I doubt he could pull off a white trash version of Web and the Rock, however.
Moanica Lewinsky must be PO'ed, she's barely going to get a mention at all at this rate!
Do you think the book will include the Juanita Broaderrick story?
"One said Clinton wrote 800 pages before he even reached the subject of his presidency."
That's about 5 pages per bimbo.
His pals call him 'Telephone Bill'
Friends of Bill Clinton better start screening their calls. The former President is feeling chatty. For weeks, Clinton has been holed up in his Chappaqua home as he and Knopf editor Robert Gottlieb saw and chisel the 900-page autobiography titled "My Life." The book is apparently going through its final buffing this week, and the former Oval Officer has been reaching out to pals to give them tastes of his prose.
They never know when he'll strike. Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.) was sound asleep at 6:30 a.m. this week when the phone rang. It was Sen. Hillary Clinton.
"She was very apologetic about calling me at home," King tells us. "She said the President needed to check some facts."
King, one of four Republicans who voted against Clinton's impeachment, had heard from the ex-President a few weeks earlier. "He called me on the House floor. He was very serious - shuffling papers, like some editor was watching over his shoulder."
But during this wakeup call, King says, Clinton was "in a more expansive mood. He was pumped."
"He didn't seem like he needed to check facts so much as try out what he'd written on somebody. He was like a guy with a new Cadillac," says King, who worked with Clinton on the Northern Ireland peace initiative.
"[Clinton] said, 'That sounds good, doesn't it?' I said, 'Yeah, it sounds great.' ... It sounded just like him. He certainly was proud of it."
King, who has written two novels, added, "He's going to be the best book promoter the world has ever seen." Ny Daily News, 5/21/04
Will he title a chapter called 'Put some ice on it?'
And that's not even covering the bimbos in the White House!
I bet he did something dumb like projection.
Feel sorry for his editor.
The has a medical condition known as logorrhea.
'I have only made this letter rather long because I have not had time to make it shorter.' - Blaise Pascal.
I cant believe he was calling Congressman at 6:30 in the morning out of a dead sleeps to finish his screed.
His hand isn't cramped from writing.
I bet he could write a bigger tome by just listing his victims.

There is NO WAY he can condence his "Legacy" into 192 pages. Look for the sequels, kind of like the "Jason" movies.
