You said "They cannot see because they will not see."

While Bubba was president I often thought of the old saying "There is none so blind, as he who will not see"

Read the whole thing. The headline makes it sound like this reviewer is going to slam the book, and he says some generally, generically negative things about the length and tone. But if you read this whole review, notice that the actual paragraphs themselves are loaded with adulation.

Typical NYT. It was negative, right...? "The Clinton memoirs didn't live up to the expectations we had for the Greatest President in the Universe".

I've always been in favor of the FR spelling & grammar police. It makes us better! :)

Not only is that comment odd -- it's downright nonsensical and meaningless. That makes about as much sense as this: "A banana is an adventure, not a sitcom."

Bobbi Ann Williams and son Danny. The boy indeed looked EXACTLY like Bill Clinton.

I stood up for the American way of life, says Clinton --

Barf Alert! Clinton is NUTS!

How frightening that this delusional immature "human" was President for eight years. We'll be paying for that technology which he gave/sold to the Chinese forever. Watching him last night must have been very painful.
