NYT Rushes Out "Do-Over" Review of Clintonâs Book
Hat tip: Country Store. EFL
The New York Times, which last Sunday published a scathing front-page review of Bill Clintonâs "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, donât 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 Clintonâs book "eye-crossingly dull," McMurtry evokes authors from Dreiser to Fitzgerald to Balzac â if not in comparison to Clinton, at least in reference to him.
Barrrff.
Iâve got just three words for the NYT: Pa-the-tic!
