Clinton Planning to Use Book Tour To Assist Kerry. That doesn't shock me. Dan Rather devoting 60-minutes to this blowhard on 60 Minutes, on the other hand.... Perhaps it shouldn't shock me, but did they devote 60 minutes to President Reagan's authorized biography? For some reason, I doubt it.

....Clinton's political advisers are consulting John Kerry's campaign about ways that Mr. Clinton can lend a political hand in the process.

Heh, heh. Making him an offer he can't refuse, eh?

Oh, right. Because the charismatic and oh-so-sensual John F. Kerry so benefits by comparison to the body-on-a-slab-at-the-morgue Clinton demeanor.

Wait. I've got that bass ackwards.

" Mr. Bogaards said Knopf also planned to send Mr. Clinton to places where books appealing to African-Americans sell well,
beginning with a signing at the Hue-Man Bookstore near his office in Harlem on the day of publication, in part because he is popular among blacks. "

The Hue Man Bookstore in Harlem....

I hope Ketchup Boy has Bubba at his side as much as possible!

[Reagan Man]

Clinton's book is anti-climatic. Everyone knows what went on during his eight years as POTUS. We know what BillyBoy did in the Oval Office. And it was obviously a lot more then he did upstairs, in the family quarters.

[BlueAngel]

I hope he doesn't show up on FOX. Can't imagine that he would.

I will refrain from changing channels for the next couple of weeks for fear of seeing the scoundrel.

[Grampa Dave]

"Mr. Clinton received an advance of more than $10 million to write his memoirs, "My Life," and aides to the former president say his first priority now is to sell as many books as possible."

If anyone thinks that al Querry will be a priority for the Clintoon, they have a severe mental condition and should be locked up for their safety.

[barker]

He is also going out of his way not to overshadow Mr. Kerry.

Does anyone here believe this? .........

[MHGinTN]

Perhaps Ol' John Feckless Kerry has heard and heeded the old saw, 'Keep your friends close but your enemies closer'.

[Texas Eagle]

Clinton's book is anti-climactic.

Whereas his sex life is auto-climactic.

[NonValueAdded]

His political advisers are consulting with the Democratic Party and Senator John Kerry's campaign about ways that Mr. Clinton can lend a political hand in the process

And that sounds to me like coordination between hard and soft money, especially if Clintoon's publisher is paying the book tour tab.

[Tacis]

If we had a decent and objective media instead of the left wing pimps we're stuck with, they could easily stop this crapweasel. All a media type would have to do is ask, "And, Mr. President, how would your approach on this issue differ from that of Senator Kerry?"

But, the question will never be allowed to be asked. Willie is all ego and his legacy is far more important that anything else. Well, except, maybe, black hookers!

[Verginius Rufus]

The two men speak personally roughly every ten days.

So what are the rough things they say to each other? Some examples would help.

[Selene]

Leslie Stahl said "Clinton's book is the biggest story of the summer".


Dream on haggatha

[Grampa Dave]

"Mr. Clinton received an advance of more than $10 million to write his memoirs, "My Life,""

George Sorea$$ probably advanced about $9,999,999 of the 10 million. The rats got a loan for the remainder.

[Jalapeno]

The real headline should be

""Politics is not religion, and we should govern on the basis of evidence, not theology," he said. "

But Mr Clinton, wasn't it the DNA evidence of your lack of religious observance that brought your administration down?

[bayourod]

The book will sell well because of the publicity, but from what little I've seen it will be a total disappointment.

Apparently Clinton just sat down for a couple weeks with a couple ounces and scribbled random thoughts.

It contains such shallow thinking as "we should reach a compromise with the terrorists because we can't kill or imprison all of them." How do you compromise with fanatics who believe Allah has commanded them to kill or convert all Americans. Agree to let them kill half of us?

Clinton didn't even try to write a book of significant value, he just turned in enough words to get his ten million dollars.
