Clinton is eager to tell his story Says writing memoirs is a way to 'come to terms' By Bob Minzesheimer USA TODAY

Bill Clinton, who's getting nearly $12 million for his memoirs, says everyone eventually should write his or her life story.

''Everybody talks about how terrible this book-writing is. I've enjoyed it,'' the former president tells C-SPAN in an interview to be shown Sunday (6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. PT).

''Everyone who is fortunate enough to have lived to be 50 should sit down at some point and write the story of his or her life, even if it is just for yourself, your children, your family.''

It's important, Clinton says, ''to try to come to terms with the life you lived and think about how you wish to spend whatever years are remaining.''

Clinton, who says he's working without a ghostwriter, aims to submit

Truth or fiction? Personally, I never tought he would actually bother to write the book.

[Happygal]

He couldn't remember banging Monica in the Oval office...

So should these be the 'selective' memoirs of a rapist?

It will be filled with, "I tried to get Osama,"(He didnt) or "The economy was going well when I left,"(It wasnt). Expect a major Lionization of Clinton. I just hope it does as well as Al Gores book.

Who is going to buy a book filled with BS?

[Blood of Tyrants]

They will have to print it in Penthouse in the Letters section.

I wonder if the "Counter Clinton Library" will carry the book?

'We do a little bit of that. You know you get writer's block in these things. You rock along, do just fine, you're writing about a five-or-six-years-or-so period in your life, and it begins to work, then all of a sudden you have to make a transition. And you ask yourself, 'What do I really want to say about this period of my life? How do I say it without looking either defensive or self-serving?'

What a surprise the book will be full of crap? Who would have thought :)

[friendly]

A book not written by Bill, that no one will read, that does not have the slightest credibility, and that will not reveal anything.

Sure I will pay $10 million for that bribe, oops I meant astute investment.

HEY GAL........WHERE'S THE FREAKIN BARF ALERT??????

ARGHKKKKKGLAAAAAA

[jwalsh07]

Can't wait for the chapter on how he got tough on North Korea.

[EllaMinnow]

I think it will do even more poorly than Al Gore's book, if that's possible.

[Eternal_Bear]

not on my reading list ever.

''Everybody talks about how terrible this book-writing is. I've enjoyed it,'' the former president tells C-SPAN

I enjoy lying to the American people and getting paid extremely well for it is an added bonus.

It's important, Clinton says, ''to try to come to terms with the life you lived and think about how you wish to spend whatever years are remaining.''

He must be the most self deluded man on Earth (or a complete sociopath) if he can do this without blowing his own brains out

''Everyone who is fortunate enough to have lived to be 50 should sit down at some point and write the story of his or her life, even if it is just for yourself, your children, your family.''

I think he answered that question!!

[hgro]

Clinton couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Will Larry Flynt publish this toilet paper?

[Thebaddog]

Lawyers, prosecutors, suckups and thieves will buy the book. I won't and you won't, but we sure will hear about it in the media.

It'll need a "Hold muh truth" alert.

Clinton is Eager to Tell His Story

Clinton's whole story can be told in three words: Traitor, Murderer, Rapist

Noone from Amazon will. But bigtime DNC donors will pay handsomely for it. Influence peddling through a ghostwritten memoir is vintage Clinton.
