Bill Clinton already wrote and sold his memoir, the imaginatively named, My Life, written and published back in 2005, but like his wife, one memoir is never enough and so Wild Bill has another one, Citizen, that chronicles all the exciting stuff he has been up to for the last two decades.
This from frontpagemag.com.
Big Hill is on her fourth memoir (seriously!) and Bill needs to pull his own weight here. Plus, he needs to piece together a series of alibis—as if a book written after the fact would suffice to corroborate his denial of certain illegal behavior.
NOTE: Wild Bill’s memoir 1.0 was at least justified because he was the president of the United States, but he hasn’t done anything since then, unlike Big Hill—who really didn’t do anything honest or productive but at least has been out and about pontificating and generating chatter.
So, what does Wild Bill feel the need to say?
Well, he couldn’t sleep for two years after Big Hill lost and he still blames Russia, the New York Times, and Comey.
‘The whole thing is hard for me to write,’ he said in
DenialCitizen: My Life After the White House. ‘I couldn’t sleep for two years after the election. I was so angry, I wasn’t fit to be around.’‘I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn’t be changed.’
‘If so, Putin’s enablers were Comey and the political press.’
And he denied he knew anything about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.
‘The bottom line is, even though it allowed me to visit the work of my foundation, traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward. I wish I had never met him.’
Clinton added: ‘I had always thought Epstein was odd but had no inkling of the crimes he was committing.
‘He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and by the time he was first arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I’ve never visited his island.’
No inkling? No idea that man was having relations with those girls?
Also, no inkling about the Marc Rich pardon?
Wild Bill wrote:
I wish Denise hadn’t written to me, for her sake and mine. I knew she had made plenty of money on her own, did not get along with her ex-husband, and didn’t know he would apply for a pardon when she gave money to the library fund.
So, why did Bill Clinton grant a pardon to a fugitive?
This is a memoir that amounts to a “I-knew-nothing” denial. It IS NOT much of a memoir:
[B]ut it seems to be all that [Wild] Bill knows
how to do even if no one believes him anymore.
Screw the title Citizen, because Denial—or perhaps Mia Culpa had he put together a collection of truths—would have been more appropriate.
