Bill Clinton's New Book

Groan - Friends of Bill gear up for Hillary 2008 with the announcement that Bill Clinton has a new book deal:

Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to write a book on citizen activism and service to be published by Alfred A. Knopf in a follow-up to his best-selling memoir of 2004.

The book publisher announced the deal on Wednesday, saying the book would come out in late 2007 or early 2008, when his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, may be starting her own run at the presidency. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The book would discuss the work of the philanthropic Clinton Foundation, which Clinton founded after he left the White House in January 2001, and similar work performed by famous and unsung people around the globe, Knopf said.

My guess - it will come out in late 2007, in time to reassure us that Wild Bill Good Ole' Bill would be a wonderful First Spouse, but not so late as to overshadow Hillary's Coronation Waltz in Iowa and New Hampshire.

However, since the topic is Bill's responsible, global activism, a secondary objective will be to overshadow the small-by-comparison, what have you done lately (or ever?) nutroots activists who will be firing torpedos at Hillary from the port side.

The NY Times has more coverage.

If he really wanted us to understand his activism, he should just make public his tax returns.

I'm still waiting for the Barrett report and the E True life story of Whitewater and Madison Guaranty Savings! Any chance of learning anything new about that in the near future?

Hmmm.

*shrug* Valerie Wilson's got a $2.5 million dollar book deal.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy one, but go figure.

I do so hope he humbly credits his charitabe efforts in connection with fellow humanitarian Ron Burkle. As senior advisor of the Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund and the Yucaipa American Fund, Clinton pledged 'socially responsible' investment promoting "urban-based minority or female-owned businesses."

I do hope the millions invested in Al Gore's TV business and Sean Combs clothing business pay off for the pensioners.

Did that book he "wrote" right out of the WH make any money? Seems the last I saw as it was on the tag end of the sales curve and headed for remainders was that the saucy advance (later topped for Hillary! No?) had not quite been recovered on net. Whatever else one may say for a Clinton vis a vis the book biz we must be certain that their peak is well behind them. At least regarding that ONE toke at the Presidency. How they must aspire to a sales record like Newt's couple dozen books...
