WASHINGTON -- "Since Bill Clinton left office, we've been through a lot together," writes political consultant James Carville in his letter to me. But Clinton supporters "have much to be proud of." So please give to the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation.

Carville breathlessly describes Clinton's achievements. The ex-president "is the most extraordinary political leader I've ever known." For this reason, he says, "it's time for close friends of Bill Clinton like you and me to commemorate his achievements and lay the ground work for the next stage of his remarkable life of public service." By funding the Clinton library.

Actually, I'm not a close friend of Clinton. But I am happy that I've ended up on the Carville mailing list. I can't imagine better late night entertainment.
