....
People came from all walks of life on a rainy July day to see the former U.S. president, whose autobiography is in fifth place in the British book charts.

And Clinton did not disappoint.

"I've got a jaw that can't even move," said Bonita Chhabra, wide-eyed and trembling as she approached the table where Clinton stood signing copies of his 957-page autobiography.

"This has got to be the best moment of my life -- apart from having my son," the 27-year-old said, giggling breathlessly.
....
Martin Shanahan, a 42-year-old Irishman who queued for 24 hours and had purchased two copies of the memoir ... was the first to meet Clinton.

"It's the gig of the day -- he's so charismatic, he's bordering on rock star status. As far as I'm concerned, he's the real president," Shanahan said.

Sixty-year-old Araceli Asia, from the Philippines, said she devoured the book cover to cover in less than a week.

4. That's a great story.

Isn't it nice to read that story. Feels good. Can you even imagine Bush is such a situation?

5. Sure. Clinton WAS the Last President of Old America

I would think the historic uniqueness of his position would be guarantor enough of crowds and such.

7. God, can you imagine how the American RW-neocon-fascists hate this?

I am sure they can not sleep at night because of it. I love it!!!

8. Just what I was thinking, too.

When people run threads asking why the RW hated BC so much, we should just show them these pics. It's pure jealousy and fear of his enormous talents.
