Bill Clinton won a Grammy!

Don't look to the current Doofus-In-Chief to repeat that
feat. . . .

Cheers,

P.S.: FWIW, I think the Grammys are pretty much a
commercially bastardized name-dropping society ...
while Warren Zevon deserves recognition, "best
contemporary folk album"????

How can you expect America to win against its foes
with no one in the Senate who can really tap his toes?

Bill Clinton Wins a Grammy
Sun February 8, 2004 06:11 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton won a Grammy Award on Sunday, but not for his famed saxophone playing. Clinton was honored in the spoken word album for children category for a project he worked on with fellow winners, former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev and Italian screen siren Sophia Loren.

None of them was at the ceremony to pick up the award for "Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf/Beintus: Wolf Tracks."

Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, was nominated in the spoken word album category for the audiobook version of her bestselling memoirs "Living History," but she lost to satirist Al Franken's "Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair And Balanced Look At The Right."

"A fair and balanced look at the right." Right.

Well, DougR, to be fair Franken doesn't claim to be ACTUALLY fair and balanced, just as "Fair and Balanced" as the liars on Fox claim to be.

With one exception: Franken doesn't lie. Or to be more accurate, he tells you when he's making stuff up for humorous effect; the rest of the time what he says is true.

Well, it's gotta be better than Paul Hogan's P&the W, but I'm wondering if it could top the Boris Karloff version I have in my collection.
