Bill Clinton Wins a Grammy

Feb 8, 6:11 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) 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 (news).

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 (news - web sites), 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."

4. Too bad Big Dog

wasn't there to pick it up. The roof would've come off the place, putting an even sharper focus on how despised * is.

5. If he had gotten a warm response

the Freepers would just say "See, he's just part and parcel of the depraved entertainment industry..."

6. Oh crap, * is gonna want one too...

*'s probably thinking how dare he (Clinton) win a Grammy?


*'ll probably record a reading of "The Hungry Caterpillar" for next year's awards...

8. Yeah, but Laura will have to help him sound out the big words. :)

Or maybe he can read that goat story he was listening to on September 11th. It was apparently more interesting than the fact that four hijacked planes were crashing into populated targets in the U.S.

Must have been one heck of an enthralling book!
:mad:
