Great point. Kennedy loses more stature as time goes by. I was 1 when he died, but my Mom says he was not very well liked at the time. She still cried. Nixon's landslide will always be overshadowed by Watergate, but many years from now, his stature will rise. If FDR was so great(he was despised by many)he would be on Rushmore. His supporters don't really want to go down that anal exam it takes to get there; for good reason. They gratefully accept the presumed greatness bestowed upon him. Reagan will only rise in stature. Rushmore is a lock. This current semi-favorable, media-driven rating is as good as it will ever get for Clinton. It's all downhill from here, and he knows it. He's a scumbag, but he ain't stupid. He must be suicidal after this week. An inherited favorable economy, Monica, impeachment, Monica, polarized electorate, Monica, Al Gore, Monica, numerous scandals and yet to be revealed scandals will put Clinton at the back of the pack.
Nice post....I agree.
