You didn't seriously think that Hillary would be the ONLY Clinton to write a large, boring tomb of a book, now did you? Bubba's book was a fait accompli from the moment he was first elected in '92.

"Narcissistic Self-Indulgence" yeah, kinda like Blogging? Oh no! Blogging is different, you don't get millions for that.

Where's the substance? Not to mention the bias. Dick Cheney reportedly spends more than 70 percent of his time fundraising while in office. That is much more troubling than a former pol scoring big bucks after leaving.

I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on the quality of the writing, but for god's sake, US presidents write their memoirs after leaving office and --yes, it's shocking, I know -- they get paid handsomly to do it. They also get paid to give speeches and do a lot of other things. How does this make Clinton any more of a navel gazer and money grubber than any other former US presidents? And if you didn't expect him to discuss l'affaire Lewinsky, then you had your head in the sand. He was IMPEACHED for it, so it's perfectly and historically relevant and belongs in the memoirs.
