Who is actually going to buy the new Clinton book?
Is the sign of the apocalypse near when Clintons book is number #1 on the Amazon best seller lists and Dodgeball is the number # 1 movie?
Why would anyone buy this crap by the most overrated president in US history?
Reagan is ten times the man Clinton will ever be.

Thanks, but no. I'm still working through the Hillary Clinton book.
Have no idea what she said, but those pages sure do wipe the crap off my ass REAL GOOD!

To answer your question, I'll probably buy it eventually, once I see it used or remaindered. The last book I bought new was the third installment of Robert Caro's LBJ biography.
Do you really think that Clinton is more over-rated than JFK?

Nothing against Clinton, but I think I have a good enough idea already of what it says. No here, but I don't buy very many books. If I was a book junkie I'd probably want it on my shelf.

Although I hate to respond to an obvious troll thread I'll second what chrisih8u said. The only point of buying a book like this is to see if he actually gives away any juicy details (and I’m not being partisan, I would say the same thing about any "tell all" fluff book). Anything good has and will come out through other (cheaper) sources without having to wade through this huge book.

If you absolutely must read something about this man who dishonored the Office of the President of the United States (and can do so without vomiting) go to your local library. Who cares if he had sex with anything that wasn't nailed down - that's nothing new. The problem arises in that he is not (and never will be) man enough to tell the truth and take responsibility for his own actions. That is, of course, until he can make a profit by doing so.

Thanks for sharing!
Anyway, I'll read it.

I most certainly am going to buy it. I was going to try and get the book signed by him today, but people started lining up at noon yesterday for the book signings... so I'll just buy it today sans autograph. I recently finished "The Clinton Wars" and I feel like his book will be a good companion piece. I guess I'm in the minority here, because I really liked Clinton.

I doubt I'll buy this book. I'm waiting for Bush's book to come out, which will have a set of crayons included.

Yes, I'll be buying the book & driving almost 200 miles to wait in an all day & half the night line to get it signed by the greatest President of my lifetime (cleaned up all of Reagan/Bush's red ink only to have JUNIOR blow the surplus in his first year of his only term).

I was watching Oprah this afternoon (I'm not proud but I was waiting for Dr. Phil to come on) and the guest was Clinton promoting the book. It sounded like it may be an interesting read.
I was struck though by the lanuage he used when discussing the scandel. Clinton never used the words 'affair' or 'sex', only 'mistake.' He kept claiming that he wasn't making excuses for himself, but I think it's very clear he was. His main point was that in trying to protect America, he was unable to protect himself. He said 'I won the battle for the US, but lost the battle for my marriage'.
The other thing I found really funny was at the end of the show, when he and Oprah were discussing his daughter's boyfriends. Clinton said 'I try to keep out of her affairs', and then giggled when the double entendre hit him.
