The New York Times asked Bill to provide clues for a crossword puzzle.

I found out about it while flipping through the radio dial this morning. Apparently Laura Ingraham is upset that--get this--Bill Clinton was asked to do a crossword puzzle but W was not.

3. Bush was asked to do the word jumbo

but his words were nucular, moran, decider, and brush.

[Bolo Boffin]

4. Four down is the showstopper

A seven letter word. The clue? "It's nice to be on the receiving end of one."

The stinker.

6. Anybody do the whole thing?!

10. Close

I still need about 3 more, but can't find the solution at the NY Times site, it was supposed to be posted this weekend. I bet you have to be a subscriber to get access to it, wouldn't that be just like the NYT?

By the way, welcome to DU!

7. it's even more obscure than the usual nytimes puzzle

everything can have a sexual inuendo
118 across, 119 across. 123 across
A strange canal? Sometimes it's on you. They can improve your health.

8. There is a simple, logical explanation for this

Crossword puzzles sometimes require a working knowledge
of your native language, including some words of more
than two syllables. Besides, the NYT knows perfectly well how
much time it would take Bush to put something like that together,
and he doesn't have that much time remaining in his term.
