  • No matter what you think of the guy -- good or bad -- one thing is undeniable. He is really good at blowing that saxophone. Huckabee ain't no slouch on the bass guitar, neither.
  • Yes he wrote a poem: It starts "The was a lady from New Zealand................"
  • I did not find any hint that he would have written any poem, at least one that would have been published. I give here some information about President Bill Clinton's relation to literature and especially poetry. 1) Among other honors, Bill Clinton was recognized as a great spoken-word performer: "Clinton received the 2000 International Charlemagne Prize of the city of Aachen (a prestigious European prize), 2004 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children for narrating the Russian National Orchestra's album Wolf Tracks and Peter and the Wolf (along with Mikhail Gorbachev and Sophia Loren) and 2005 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for My Life, 2005 J. William Fulbright Prize for International Understanding, and 2007 TED Prize (named for the confluence of technology, entertainment and design)." "The audiobook version of Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award in the category of Best Spoken Word Album." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton#Honors_and_accolades 2) Some information about his engagement for poetry: "In a proclamation issued on April 1, 1996, President Bill Clinton declared: "National Poetry Month offers us a welcome opportunity to celebrate not only the unsurpassed body of literature produced by our poets in the past, but also the vitality and diversity of voices reflected in the works of today's American poetry….Their creativity and wealth of language enrich our culture and inspire a new generation of Americans to learn the power of reading and writing at its best."" "In 1998, the Academy joined the American Poetry & Literacy Project to distribute 100,000 free books of poetry from New York to California during National Poetry Month. On April 22, President Clinton and the First Lady hosted a gala at the White House which featured Poets Laureate Robert Pinsky, Robert Hass, and Rita Dove" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Poetry_Month 3) Bill Clinton wrote diverse books: - "The Photograph and the American Dream, 1840-1940" He wrote here the foreword. This book is classified as poetry by Amazon, but I am not sure that the foreword could be the reason: http://www.amazon.ca/s?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A932624%2Cp_27%3ABill%20Clinton&page=1 You can also find some of his speeches, for instance here: http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/c#a3565 http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search/Bill_Clinton Various other books from or about Bill Clinton here: http://orlabs.oclc.org/Identities/lccn-n82-29644 Some of his quotes here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton 4) "an unexpected collection of found poetry" was made using the text of the proceedings of the Lewinsky affair. Only original quotes from Clinton and Lewinsky were used. However, the compiler is not Bill Clinton: "Poetry Under Oath (Paperback) by Simon (Compiler)" http://www.amazon.ca/Poetry-Under-Oath-Simon-Compiler/dp/0761116206/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200201113&sr=8-4 5) I did not read all of it, but this article about Bill Clinton seems quite interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/09/18/060918fa_fact1?currentPage=1
  • Yes coined after Monika Lewinsky titled, "Giving"
