Clinton in running for TV job

From correspondents in Washington
27apr02


FORMER US president Bill Clinton could soon start a gig as the co-host of a morning television program, US media reported today.

ABC-TV's gossip show "Extra" reported that Clinton is a candidate to succeed retiring television host Bryant Gumbel as the co-anchor of "The Early Show" - a breakfast news program on rival network CBS-TV.

The ex-president, who left office 15 months ago, already has been busy in retirement: his William J Clinton Foundation is assembling teams of business experts to provide financial, marketing and other technical advice to owners of small businesses in Harlem, where he maintains an office.

Earlier this month he took on a new job as a senior adviser to two investment funds run by a cut price grocery store tycoon, the Los Angeles-based Yucaipa Companies said.

And he is in the process of penning his memoirs, set for publication in 2003, for publishing house Alfred A Knopf, which paid him an advance of more than $US10 million ($A18.48 million) - the largest ever for a non-fiction book published in the United States.

He is probably still steamed that President Bush is on the trading cards and has been portrayed as an action hero doll. Those were his rightful gigs, you know.

Just once I would like to see someone in the major media say that this guy is NOT handsome, NOT smart, and NOT interesting!! Just once!!

The Clinton Legacy, no matter how much he wishes, he'll always be remembered as the impeached rapistest, BJ president.

Miss Marple, He's no super hero. He's more of a super ZERO!

He should be doing the Jerry Springer Show.

As a "guest," not as host.

Wonder why the article didn't mention Slick's new career as a pitchman for BMW?
___________________
BMW (New Zealand) has confirmed former US President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the launch of its new "seven" series car next month. It will be his only public engagement in New Zealand.

BMW is spending about three-quarters of a million dollars launching the new models.

Around 700 people are expected at a gala dinner at Auckland's Hilton Hotel on the 27th of May. Tickets to hear Bill Clinton speak will cost $600 to $800 each.

BMW's New Zealand managing director Geoff Fletcher says Mr Clinton will be talking about global issues close to his heart. It will be his first public address in this country since leaving office.

Mr Fletcher says it is appropriate to have a former US President launch what BMW expects to be the pinnacle car in New Zealand. source

I'll never buy a BMW now, for sure. There goes my desire to buy that little blue M3.
