Yup, and GW’s next failure was to rehabilitate Bill Clinton, rather than treat him as a pariah. Let’s remember that in 2000 Albore wouldn’t even let Bill Clinton be associated with his campaign, that’s how toxic the “Clinton brand” was.... but GW Bush began treating Bill Clinton as just another respected former president (Richard Nixon never got such favorable treatment from either party in his post-presidency) and in time the political-media establishment was allowed to just wash away all the Clintonista scandals.
Someone else who gets that.
I was so furious with Bush when he did that.
Everyone else... eh no big deal. Hell yes it was.
