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

[EllaMinnow]

Truth or fiction? Personally, I never tought he would actually bother to write the book.

[Happygal]

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

So should these be the 'selective' memoirs of a rapist?

[cardinal4]

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.

[Cobra64]

Who is going to buy a book filled with BS?

[Blood of Tyrants]

They will have to print it in Penthouse in the Letters section.

[tuna_battle]

I wonder if the "Counter Clinton Library" will carry the book?

[Lorenb420]

'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 :)

[friendly]

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.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

HEY GAL........WHERE'S THE FREAKIN BARF ALERT??????

ARGHKKKKKGLAAAAAA

[jwalsh07]

Can't wait for the chapter on how he got tough on North Korea.

[EllaMinnow]

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

[Eternal_Bear]

not on my reading list ever.

''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

[gracex7]

Who is going to buy a book filled with BS?

''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.''

I think he answered that question!!

[hgro]

Clinton couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Will Larry Flynt publish this toilet paper?

[Thebaddog]

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.

[Mr. Mojo]

Clinton is Eager to Tell His Story

Clinton's whole story can be told in three words: Traitor, Murderer, Rapist

[Drango]

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Ping

[cardinal4]

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.

[friendly]

Preview of this hard hitting Clinton memoir:

CHAPTER ONE: MY IMMACULATE CONCEPTION AND BIRTH IN A MANGER....

[boomop1]

Talk show hosts will have a ball dissecting the lies, he is so flawed nothing will rescue his dismal legacy.

[Liz]

[Nick Danger]

It won't surprise me if this book sinks like Gore's to the bottom of the charts. I think people are sick of both of them.

[Diana Rose]

Will there be a free gift certificate with the newly fermented whine?

[Diana Rose]

free = free cheese

[BossLady]

Titles:

1- The Presidency for Dummies

2- The Merchant of Washington

3- Playboy's Guide to Picking Up Trashy Women

4- MEIN InKAMPFetence

5- A Pitiful Mind

[Cobra64]

if he can do this without blowing his own brains out

A self imposed Lewinski?

[EllaMinnow]

I vote for #5!

"A Pitiful Mind" by Billy Blythe Clinton

Chapter One:
"101 uses for a sink."

Chapter Two:
"Home Remedies for Carpet Burn."

Chapter Three:
"'My Wife Doesn't Understand Me" Really is a Great Pick-Up Line!"

[timestax]

Billdo also was asked directly , at a news conference, (I saw on TV news) 1995 or 96 ?? "Who hired Craig Livingstone"?. Bildo said,"I don't know, but I will get back with you with the information". HE NEVER DID!! He LIED cus he knew the answer==Hitlery hire Livingstone, as she was good friends with his Craigs' mother for one thing. Anybody else remember this...and who was reporter who asked question. I would like to find out and ask him to re-submit the question to Billdo!

[Cobra64]

I wonder if the back cover of the book will depict the DNA test results footnoted under the photograph of Lewinski's semen-stained blue dress.

Probably on the front cover will be an architect's rendering of the Clinton Pubic Lie-brary.

[Lexington Green]

TREASON FOR FUN AND PROFIT

[dighton]

[Fintan]

Clinton, who says he's working without a ghostwriter...

This I actually believe.

I can't imagine any ghostwriter keeping a straight face while this cretin dictates his version of events...

[Slyfox]

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.''

[ozone1]

And AlGore thought he had a bad time being FREEPED on his book tour, Just wait for old Willie to go on tour.

Bwahahahahahahahha

[plain talk]

"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 ..."

Unfortunately some the arkancides never made 50.

[BossLady]

LOL I could not decide which one I liked so I included them all.

Chapter 5 - Using Taxpayer Dollars for Sex, Fun and Travel

Chapter 6 - Best Buys on Cigars

''Everybody talks about how terrible this book-writing is. I've enjoyed it,'' the former president tells C-SPAN

What a surprise. He failed, already in the interview, in his proclaimed quest to not sound 'self-serving'.

He says "everybody talks about how terrible this book-writing is" just to tee up his self-aggrandizing "I've enjoyed it" pat on the back.

Ack.

[EllaMinnow]

From the article:

"Clinton, who says he's working without a ghostwriter, aims to submit a ''publishable draft'' by August. That's two months after the tentative publication date for the memoir of his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. (She got $8 million.)"

Do you suppose they'll go on a book tour together, a la Al and Tipper? What a sight that will be!

[timestax]

I know. My sister has a copy of "It Takes a Village."

I love her - she's my sister - but I don't understand how we could have grown up in the same household.

[cyncooper]

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

Please! Let it be so.

[evad]

I wonder if the "Counter Clinton Library" will carry the book?

Another question would be will the Counter Clinton Library produce a Counter Clinton book? Something that takes every sentence and paragraph that is written and counters it with the "truth".

Now I WOULD buy that book.

[Revolting cat!]

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but the cat has glimpsed the first few sentences of this upcoming literary classic:

"I wuz born a poor black chile! Whilst them white folks like Michael Jackson had all them advantages and then on top of that came ridin' and burnin' our churches to the ground, we wuz near starvin'. My brother and I had a big family and many uncles visited Momma every night to help us get along..."

... to be continued.

[evad]

LOL!!

Excellent

[cyncooper]

Do you suppose they'll go on a book tour together, a la Al and Tipper? What a sight that will be!

LOL

No, I don't expect to see them touring together. Despite my low opinion of the Gores I will concede they seem to be genuinely fond of each other. With Bill and Hill in close proximity the possibility he'd have to explain a sudden lump on the head as he makes a scheduled book-hawking appearance would be very likely. Besides, she would cramp his style as he travels about. Plus there is that sharing the limelight distaste they both have.

I'm sure both of them will have obvious lies in their respective tomes, but I won't hold my breath waiting for the Katie Courics of the world to focus in on such trivialities.

Good post, btw.
