Whatever one may think of Clinton, not reading books is clearly not one of his faults.

Huh? Clearly? Explain.

I have heard that when Clinton was going to have an expert in some field meet him at the White House, he would often spend the preceding week reading a large stack of books on the subject and would then surprise his guest with the depth of his knowledge.

Also, it does not seem plausible that he would have been able to attend Yale Law School, be a Rhodes scholar, or teach law at the University of Arkansas if he had never read a book.

Even his detractors admit that Clinton is a very bright guy. Of course none of this has much to do with his moral qualities.
