Dan Rather said this morning on Face the Nation that Clinton means he literally slept on a couch.
It usually is clear when one is speaking metaphorically, and in this case, from the phrasing and repeating of same, it is clear that Clinton wishes to convey the notion that he actually slept on a couch, which is absurd.
That's the only thing that you can do with someone like Clinton. He's nothing more than a kid; he will scoop in as much good attention as he can, but when the good attention doesn't come his way, he will do anything to get negative attention.
Ignoring him is indeed best.
Bob Schieffer asked Dan Rather this morning if Clinton meant it literally and Dan said yes.
There had been no indication that I had interpreted prior to hearing that, that Clinton was speaking metaphorically--and I know how to perceive a metaphor when I see one. It was typical Clinton embellishment of his story that he wants people to think he literally slept on a couch. And now Danny Rather confirms that Clinton is saying he really really slept on a couch (I think Danny believes him, no surprise).
I know I have no plans to watch Sixty Minutes.
I think Gary Aldrich wrote in his first book, they had separate bedrooms.
Sure wish Sid Viscous writes a book. You/we would be in it.
May I suggest another year of therapy and couseling for Mr. President?
