Do any other FReepers wonder if Mr. Alterboy is preserving his blue suit he wore in the interview--the one with Clinton's DNA on it!

[deadrock]

Where is the chuck alert, chuck?

[Thebaddog]

Imus took Alter apart this morning and it was quite a show. B-list clebrities and the pardon. Imus did a number on the doofus and Alter's response was to point out the money that he's making. Where will that money take your soul, Bill? Oops, I forgot. You don't have one!

And Alter does have a blue dress.

while in Jidda, Saudi Arabia, for a February speech, he met for more than three hours with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to discuss what is now known as the Saudi plan to restart the peace process

This is the most important part of this piece. Alter said in an interview with MSNBC Sunday night that the Saudi peace plan had Clinton's prints all over it. This man is still trying to mastermind the Middle East and find a favorable legacy. His using the nations and people of the Middle East to achieve his legacy several years ago helped further incite this war. He need to stay out now!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

In another month or two, perhaps as long as a year, another filthy, disgusting or illigal story will come out involving the Clintons. There's just too much money available from publishers these days. You gotta know the stories are out there. Just a matter of time.

[b4its2late]

Sorry. Can't read it, won't read it and don't want to read it. Nothing against you. It brings back eight years of bad memories.

[Freemyland]

That was a journalistic Lewinsky, wasn't it?

[Freemyland]

"Now the ex-president is contesting even that, insisting that the war on terrorism, while important, “is not like World War II at all” and will eventually be seen in the context not of the Bush presidency but of Clinton’s global achievements."

Oh, I think it's being seen in the context of his global "achievements", but not like he would prefer.

[mc5cents]

Whew! After that I need a drink!

[KC_Conspirator]

Alter is a rabid leftist and his journalism is nothing short of propaganda. I was surprised he took some time off from fellating Klinton to actually write and send it to the Newsweak editor.

[okiedust]

Oh, gag. Too bad Alter can't see how stupid this piece(Clinton and the article) makes him look. Clinton's writing his book(but hasn't turned anything in yet), Clinton has moved beyond his "persecution"(but can't drop the subject). Clinton is nothing without a careful support system that does his work and fights his battles and tells him he's boss. Gag, gag, gag. Oh yes, and how about the throwaway line about fanaticism residing on the right? Gag.

Oh, and I can't leave without gagging at the "Clinton Military" reference. Draft dodger, takes what others have purchased so dearly and uses, and uses and uses. Gag.

Thanks for pointing that out. I couldn't get that far through all the drivel. The Saudi peace plan does, indeed, have clinton's dirty fingerprints all over it. Clinton is more responsible than anyone else for the present mess in the Middle East, and what does he do but make it even worse, in hopes of salvaging his precious "legacy."

[Aedammair]

“It was painful for him,” says one person who saw him last fall. “He has prepared all of his life for something truly big like this.” Now the ex-president is contesting even that, insisting that the war on terrorism, while important, “is not like World War II at all” and will eventually be seen in the context not of the Bush presidency but of Clinton’s global achievements.

It's official; he's f!@#$%^ deranged!

[breakem]

Dear Lord, take this yoke from our necks.

MEMOIRS AND MEMORIES
To refresh his memory, the ex-president hired Ted Widmer, a professor and former White House speechwriter, to interview him on what are called “book-talking days.” Clinton usually follows these with “book-writing days,” where he writes in longhand, usually in Chappaqua. While he says he’ll probably write 1,200 pages and cut it in half, nothing has been turned in yet to Robert Gottlieb, his editor at Knopf, and longtime Clinton associates fear that, as one says, “the process is going to be what all Clinton writing projects are—a train wreck.”

I think Doris Kerns Goodwin may have some time available to help with the book. She could just make stuff up and not have to worry about plagairizing someone else. And who is going to contradict her since the administration stopped keeping notes for fear of subpoena.

[meandog]

With notable exceptions, Clinton isn’t a grudge holder. Of course if he were, he wouldn’t have many people to talk to. His usual pattern is to vent, wallow and then move on.

Ri-i-i-ght-t-t </ sarcasm>. Notable exceptions: Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, Kathleen Willey, Lucianne Goldberg, Matt Drudge, Jim Robinson (via Washington Post, L.A. Times lawsuit), Ken Starr, Robert Ray, Jim McDougal, George Stephanopolus, Robert Ray, etc., etc., et al.

[LibertyGirl77]

....considering the intensity of his expression fact that his lips are moving, might not be strictly is most certainly not true.

[mountaineer]

Clinton was chuckling over the fact that his first post-presidential interview is going to NEWSWEEK, a magazine he calls “the house organ of Paula Jones.”

What a jackass. No one but her family would have heard of Paula Jones if x42 hadn't waggled his puny bent organ at her. It's always someone else's fault for the Clintons.

THEN IT’S EIGHT American cities in the next three weeks. Plus a hop over to Austria somewhere in between...

Beats staying home with Hillary. How many ashtrays to the noggin can one man take?
