Key Issues

Clinton's Life

Obviously I haven't had a chance to read it, but my guess is that it isn't so much that he led a boring life, so much as he's just a shitty writer.

A good writer can make almost anything sound interesting.

Take the review for example. THAT was a good read, but you don't need to read the whole thing (as it does get repetitive). I like the paragraphs Geoffrey selected just fine.

I briefly considered picking up a copy of My Life, just because I (like many others) am curious about what the old chap has to say regarding the Lewinsky affair.

It had to be more than fun and games with a cigar if the poor girl thought she was in love!

...So then I hear from this Time news interviewer that he doesn't even mention Lewinsky until page 773.

Even better. I no longer have to buy a copy. I will walk into Barnes & Noble, pick up a copy, turn to page 773, read five pages, put it down, walk out.

My guess is that he buried the "juicy" with "justification," but I'll report again once I know for sure.
