HIS LIFE

Bill Clinton's My Life arrived today. It is not the brick that I had expected. It has great pictures inside. I don't know whether I will read it through or not. That is not the point. It is, for now, my last chance to vote for him.

It is interesting to watch the rollout as all the usual suspects weigh in with the old bullshit about the Big Dog. As always, he goes on and as the vitriol fades out, the big points remain. He was a real President. As for the moral lapse stuff, what is a lie about a blow job against serial multiple lying about everything from the environment to Iraq? Don't get me started.

I have, at the same time, and on the same day, received a used copy of The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton by Joe Conason, Gene Lyons; to be kept as a companion piece for the library. This book shows the same shabby lies and envious whining that is coming up now. It reminds us that no one, any where, at any time, found anything at all about the Whitewater charges to be true; and, in fact, several independent investigators (one headed by a noted Republican) reported this result. No matter. The bashers will bash. Clinton will continue to be the man. No wonder they hate him. He cannot be held down.

Incidentally, the Hunting Book is the basis for a documentary just out and now reviewed in the Washington Post Hunting Hits Target.

I love the cover picture on the Clinton book.
