Will we get to hear Hillary tell him to keep it zipped?

Former President Clinton has waived his right to restrict access to most records of confidential advice

"A little to the left, Monica".

[KantianBurke]

"President Bush blocked the release of some 68,000 pages of Reagan's records"

I wonder whats in those pages...

[Night Hides Not]

The bit of advice I'm looking forward to see is:

'Monica, I just love it when you wear blue.'

He probably saved us from a lot of boring, irrelevant transcripts.

All lies, all the time.

This stuff has doubtless been doctored to make i42 look less terrible than he is/was.

"Excluded from release will be personal information, inflammatory comments and issues of national security."

Well, that leaves a few phone logs and some pizza-greased-stained first drafts of speeches.

[My2Cents]

Excluded from release will be personal information, inflammatory comments and issues of national security.

"...The four page document will be released in early summer, said a National Archives spokesperson."

[KantianBurke]

lol. for us historical dorks who read such things with glee though I think any and all papers from Reagan's era will be interesting

[AdA$tra]

Who really cares. If he received good advice on any issue, he obviously ignored it anyway. Seriously though, I am sure that much like the LBJ tapes the data will be manipulated to make X42 look like some kind of hero with a legacy when we all know he is not and doesn't. Even more likely it will show Hillary as the key advisor with all the answers just in time for 2004. "She was the brains of the operation, so vote for her," Bill will say.

"Bill, I need this job like I need a hole in my head"....Ron Brown

[Nagual]

I wondered what happened to "Pancho Willie". He has been staying low these days, there must be a new skirt in town.

[Slyfox]

He and Hillary have had enough time to shred documents. And enough money
to pay for many industrial-strength paper shredders and the people to run them.

Glad to know the American taxpayers are getting their money's worth.

Anybody else react by wondering what he is really doing that he wants people focused on this?

[My2Cents]

I agree. But, who knows? Maybe the bulk of those excluded Reagan transcripts are simply old Hollywood stories.

"Hillary after I tell them what I know, convicting you in will be a walk in the park"

......Vince Foster.

The archive probably contains some long lost documents like -

"I want to ask Congress to declare war on Iraq, North Korea and Osama bin Laden, but the Republicans are too busy impeaching me."

[small voice in the wilderness]

Why don't all the historians just sit down, shut up, and let bill write his own autolegasorial? It would save lots of time and paper. And gawd knows we're all just waiting on the edge of our chairs for his legacy to be OVER.
