Clinton Struggles To Finish Book

Is this hard to believe? From the N.Y. Post:

The publisher of Bill Clinton's forthcoming memoir is "despairing" that the ex-president hasn't churned out enough pages - and that the book is too full of self-justification and blaming of others, a new report claims.

Apparently Clinton only recently started writing about the Lewinsky matter, and while his writing is good, according to editors, there's just "not enough of it". And true to form, he contends that none of his troubles in office, (including I'm sure, the accosting of women, the illegal Chinese campaign cash, the pardoning of rich crony felons, etc) were his fault...

a Clinton friend says, "He does not act like he has anything to be ashamed about . . . He really believes this was some right-wing conspiracy and he didn't do anything wrong. Maybe he misbehaved in his marriage, but so has every other president in the last 50 or 100 years. He does not go around with his head down in shame."

Clinton also apparently is loath to take any responsibility for having failed to stop the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, saying, "How did this happen, I don't remember," according to a former top aide quoted by the magazine.

Ah yes, the tried and true Clintonism..."I don't remember".

And I always thought that one was a Reaganism.

So, is that better than Bush's, "Me no understand?"

Wizblog welcomes all comments, even anonymous ones doing "Bush is a moron" takes, I suppose. (See earlier post about the president's Harvard MBA)
