Bill Clinton's Book

They're saying it's supposed to come out in late June, but that he actually hasn't finished writing it yet. On a totally selfish note, I rarely get more than 3-4 months to pound out even a 600-800 page book. Bill's had years.

OK, granted, I've never been president but sheesh. And God knows he gets much larger advances than I do. Grumble. Grumble.

I don't buy, however, the criticism that Clinton's book will somehow overshadow the Dem National Convention or Kerry's campaign. I think the timing is actually quite good for this summer. As David Gergen just pointed out on MSNBC, this is going to give Clinton a lot of attention and he, in turn, can turn the spotlight onto Kerry and why it's so important to get away from the Bush Administration.
