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

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

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.

'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 :)

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.

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

''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

Will Larry Flynt publish this toilet paper?
To: Cobra64
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.

Who is going to buy a book filled with BS?Noone from Amazon will. But bigtime DNC donors will pay handsomely for it. Influence peddling through a ghostwritten memoir is vintage Clinton.
