I caught part of Andrew Denton’s interview with Bill Clinton last night and it was bloody good. Thankfully Monica Lewinsky was only mentioned once. He managed to criticise Bush’s policies in a very measured way, pointing out exactly what was wrond with them and what he would have done had he been in the same situation. When you compare it to Bush’s interview for Irish television earlier this month, the intellectual chasm between the two presidents is clear: Clinton was articulate and quite capable of thinking on his feet, whereas Bush seemed to have a limited repertoire of answers and got quite rattled when he got a question which wasn’t a perfect match for one of the pre-canned answers. Poles apart…

I think I’ll have to read his book. I almost bought it a couple of weeks ago but changed my mind at the last minute.
