I am not defending the President, only the truth. There has been so much bullsh*t spread around on this guy and so much that's questionable, it's hard to believe anything anymore.

You see, this is where we differ. That former President has spread so much bull**** around and done so much that is questionable, that it's hard for me not to believe anything anymore.

With the exception of a blurb in US News & World Report, this book isn't getting much coverage from the mainstream. I have found this additional quote from the book that I haven't seen posted on FR:

"Another shortcoming was dishonesty - not just about golf and extramarital affairs but also about our national security. Such dishonesty said much about the president's priorities. On August 26, 1996, just three months into my tenure, I was accompanying the president in Toledo, Ohio, on one of his many reelection campaign events. I listened to his speech from one of the "hold" rooms offstage. Television images and sound were piped into the room by the White House Communications Agency. I heard President Clinton say, "For the first time since the dawn of the nuclear age, on this beautiful night, there is not a single nuclear missile pointed at a child in the United States of America."

I looked down at the black satchel at my side. "What?" I mumbled out loud. I turned to the military White House doctor along on the trip and asked him, "Did he just say what I think he said?" The doctor shrugged and nodded. It was patently untrue, and anyone with a remote knowledge of military and foreign affairs knew it was untrue.
