Clinton slept in the shrub

Doing some research on Technorati and other newsfeed search engines, I happened on Bill's blog and this memory of a midnight walk through the Triangle:

Bill Clinton: So that’s the reason I know these places so well. I remember one night and this is many years ago, I went to see him, but he wasn’t home. There were no buses and I didn’t bring my wallet so I tried to walk from Chapel Hill to Raleigh. Big mistake. After a few miles, I couldn’t go on anymore. I tried to hitchhike, but I found no buyers. I gave up. It was extremely dark. People living in New York don’t know how dark rural areas are. The crickets were chirping, I remember them very well. My old friends the crickets. Since I was in the middle of nowhere I decided to go into the shrub and sleep. I did. It's surprising how easy I fell asleep. I mean. In the middle of nowhere. I had no fear whatsoever. Youth.

I don't suppose I-40 was built back then either. Probably was walking down Hwy54 or something. I never knew Clinton was that familiar with the Triangle area. Very interesting...

It's fake.

Yeah, but it sounds like Clinton don't you think? I guess it does seem unlikely that Clinton would sign up for a Blogspot blog, but after googling the net and searching Technorati, I couldn't find any proof that the blog is real or fake -- so guess I have to assume it is fake.

I don't beleive this is real for a second! Isn't it possible (nay, likely) that there is another person named Bill Clinton?
