Bill Clinton for President? Again?
...well, lets see....I would like him to sharpen his definition about what sexual relations REALLY are; and he can perhaps share that definition with all the fundamentalist Christians; like Jehovahs Witnesses....

Hate to break it to you... We just added 500K more jobs last month. Keep on beating that drum about a "bad" Bush economy.

Sorry, but I don't seem to be able to copy and paste the article from the NYT, even though I first pasted it on my Microsoft Word program. At any rate, I gave you the title on the book review and you can check it out if you wish....

Here's an overview of the New York Times review... this is from ABC News online:
'New York Times' pans Clinton memoir
"Sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull," was the verdict of the New York Times on the publishing event of the year, Bill Clinton's 957 page memoir My Life.In a particularly scathing review, the NYT critic denigrated the book as a mirror of Mr Clinton's presidency, with its "lack of discipline leading to squandered opportunities [and] high expectations, undermined by self-indulgence and scattered concentration".
The autobiography goes on sale on Tuesday and follows Mr Clinton's evolution from Arkansas schoolboy to Rhodes scholar and eventually president, concluding when he leaves office in early 2000.
For the NYT reviewer, however, it is mainly the sound of "one man prattling away, not for the reader, but for himself and some distant recording angle of history".
Referring to the $US10 million advance the publishers paid the author, the NYT said the unprecedented sum was understandable, given Mr Clinton's obvious intelligence, charm and powerful grasp of language, coupled with his colourful life.
Unfortunately, the NYT said, the finished product reads more like a "messy pastiche" of everything Mr Clinton remembered, including lists of meals and a description of getting up early one morning to watch the inauguration of Nigeria's new president on television.
"It devolves into a hodgepodge of jottings: part policy primer, part 12 step confessional, part stump speech and part presidential archive," paper said.
"All, it seems, hurriedly written and even more hurriedly edited."
The only bright spot, according to the newspaper, was the "pleasing emotional directness" of the section of the book dealing with Mr Clinton's youth in Arkansas.
While admitting his sexual encounters with White House intern Monica Lewinsky were "immoral and foolish," Mr Clinton devotes far more pages to lashing out at Kenneth Starr, the special prosecutor who investigated the former president's alleged perjury over the affair.
According to the newspaper, interesting sections of the book, such as Mr Clinton's efforts to negotiate a Middle East peace settlement, are counter-balanced by dreary descriptions of debates over car license fees when he was still governor of Arkansas.
Mr Clinton's main concern, the reviewer concluded, was to establish his legacy and boost the political career of his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton.
