They weren't supposed to be saying things like this. The game plan that the media bosses agreed on was that they would blame it on Bush.
Agreed. Interesting indeed.
Another thing that interested me was the fact that time and again, Bill's concern for getting re-elected or hiding his misdeeds or obtaining some other domestic political advantage prevented him from acting on behalf of the interests of the United States. It's one of those things that you know - but when you see it set out, item by item, on a timeline, it really hits you.
I have always believed that the primary reason a slimy politician like Clinton gets away with what he does is that too many Democratic trend-setters (writers, teachers, etc.) and to some extent voters, is that they first have to admit that they were wrong about their support of a vile man. That's a very difficult bridge to cross. Once it's done, however, those who see the error of their ways have nothing left to lose. They've already admitted that they were duped. All that's left is to dump their ire on the one who fooled them. Ever met a former smoker? They're the most committed to the non-smoking crusade. Same principal at work.
