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.''

Well,he did make them buy enough CD's by his brother Roger's band that they became "North Korea's favorite blues band",and even went there on a tour. Some people MIGHT call that a payoff.

Oh, you've gone and mentioned one of my favorite topics--Roger's "concert" in North Korea and the indifference by our "reporters" to this bizarre trip. Remember they (the media) were satisfied with a WH disclaimer of ignorance on the issue.

Why, that reminds me of the Rodham brothers setting up the bogus hazelnut venture which was such an obvious scam that it had to be scuttled when word leaked out about it. Again the WH was allowed to pretend they knew nothing when I'm thinking it looked like a moneybags pathway was being paved.

LOL! You REALLY do not like the Klintoons, do you?

Well, neither do I.

I was hoping you had a picture of Hitlery in the same garb as Slick -- you know, "San Quenton Chic."

It's not that I don't like the Clintons, I really have no feelings for them.
But, since I know them so well, it sorta looks like I can't stand them.

Hey,they probably preferred Roger's CD because it tasted better than anybody else's. We are supposed to believe that in a country where the people are starving and eating tree bark,that they buy CD's by a untalented performer is a format (blues) that is totally foreign to their ears?

Clinton, who says he is working without a ghostwriter...

There is that pesky word "is" again.

This piece of dog excrement fiction will hit the discount table faster than a democrat pocketing a bribe.

I believe firmly that this whole "book advance" of $12 million for Bill (and equal amount for his cuddly, sweet wife Hillary) is a carefully masked bribe for some service performed by the Clinton mafia.

Probably some sort of obscure Department of Commerce accounting rule change worth a fortune, The Dept. of Justice overlooking some anti-competitive mega-media merger deal, or something along those lines.

Who will pay one dime for a book he will not write, full of endless untruths, and that no one will buy? The track record of books by the Clintons have been complete economic failures!

Is Hillary waiting until Bill's finished with his book so their stories (lies) agree?

Of course he loves "writing" his memoirs. It's full of his favorite words: I-I-I, me-me-me...

The ghost writer will be a ghost by the time the book comes out (can't leave an author with such access to the real stories walking).
