"I'm a Democrat and I like Clinton," Laurence J. Kirshbaum, chairman of the Time Warner Book Group, told the Associated Press a day after Reagan's death. "But Ronald Reagan lives in the hearts and minds of people in a way, frankly, that Clinton doesn't." We're not going to see such an outpouring of grief over Clinton's death, that's for sure. Part of the reason is obvious, and part of it is that even if you like him, and think he did good with the economy, it's not the kind of accomplishment that people fondly remember presidents for 20 years from now.

Just think, if Clinton had not been caught snoozing, no one would be talking about him now. I've heard it mentioned on TV several times today Bingo!
Think about it .. When has Clinton EVER fallen asleep during any speech? I can't think of one
Plus .. Didn't Teddy Kennedy do the same thing at the State of the Union Address??

the only hype for the former predator in chief's book will be at cbsnbcabccnn and of course N.P.R.

Ronald Reagan will outsell Bubba in the bookstores and I don't think the latter's bio will get a fraction of the sales. If you're great, you don't need to draw attention to yourself. It will be obvious to people.

Yes, Kennedy fell asleep at the State of the Union and he didn't even have a book coming out. LOL!

"We're not going to see such an outpouring of grief over Clinton's death" Paid mourners comes to mind.

I think Raegan is chuckling at this in heaven. Clinton and Reagan are diametrically opposed in everything. Leave it to Reagan to have his parting be now - Bush Jr. as President to give a eulogy and now to draw attention away from the 8 years of trash courtesy of the Clinton's. Their legacy couldn't be more opposite.

At our Barnes & Nobble a display was set up at the very front of the store. There was a sign that said Remembering President Reagan. The table had numerous books on it but it looked like many had been purchased. My own husband will be receiving one for Father's Day.

The old blowhard, Dan Rather, smuggly sneers that he thought that the coverage for President Ronald Reagan this week "has been overkill".
I wonder if he will be saying the same about the media hyping another edition of Clinton's literary tribute to himself?
Side by side, Reagan and Clinton, it's not so hard to see who stands among giants and who just stands.
