NYT Rushes Out "Do-Over" Review of Clinton’s Book
2004-06-25
Hat tip: Country Store. EFL
The New York Times, which last Sunday published a scathing front-page review of Bill Clinton’s "My Life," has alerted subscribers that another, much kinder and gentler review is coming July 4 in The New York Times Book Review.
"We'll make it up to you, Bill. Dunno what we wuz thinkin'..."
Entitled "Confessions of a Policy Wonk" and written by the novelist Larry McMurtry, the prominently placed review calls the book "the richest American presidential autobiography," and says that the former president is a better writer than Reagan, Ford, Nixon or Lyndon Johnson.
Geez, don’t these leftist clowns ever get tired of fellating Clintoon in public?
The first time he ever played golf he got 17 holes in one.
Unlike Michiko Kakutani, the author of the June 20 review, who called Clinton’s book "eye-crossingly dull," McMurtry evokes authors from Dreiser to Fitzgerald to Balzac — if not in comparison to Clinton, at least in reference to him.
Barrrff.
I’ve got just three words for the NYT: Pa-the-tic!
