This Sunday at noon, C-SPAN II's "Book TV" will air a sound-only version of Bill Clinton's remarks at a party last week in honor of Rep. Peter King's new novel, "Deliver Us From Evil." That's because cameraman Richard Hall was prevented from videotaping Clinton at the Dubliner bar.

Hall told us he started rolling when Clinton showed up unexpectedly. After a few seconds, a King aide told Hall that Clinton's people wanted him to stop. Hall continued taping for another 15 seconds, until a strapping young man calling himself Doug him to stop. "The president is a private citizen and doesn't want cameras on him all the time," Doug barked. Hall assumed he was a Secret Service agent and complied.
