Clinton on the Couch

|

Taking a page from Harry Pottermania, bookstores across America (well, at least one in D.C.--the Dupont Circle Books-a-Million) are staying open late tonight and having midnight parties celebrating the release of Bill Clinton's eagerly anticipated and apparently boring memoir, My Life.

The best moment in the Dan Rather interview? My pick goes to this moment:

He slept on the couch for months while he says Hillary Clinton considered whether to stay married to him. Of the impeachment itself, Mr. Clinton told Rather his fight against it was a "badge of honor," and that he was proud it failed in driving him from office.

Whole thing here. The picture at the CBS site is priceless, featuring Clinton doing his best Dick Van Dyke (hiccup).
