"helped take down the Chicago mob. Schippers voted twice for Bill Clinton"

With his experience with the Chicago mob, I really have a problem with the fact that Shippers could vote twice for Clinton. I mean, with his extensive legal and investigative background, I just don't understand why he wouldn't have heard stuff about Clinton's activities in Arkansas. Then, after all the junk that came out during the first 4 years of Clinton's administration, I just find it difficult to believe he voted for Clinton a second time - democrat or not. This has always bothered me about him.

I've not pressed Dave on that. I guess he did not pay a great deal of attention to the criminality before Nov. of 1996. Remember that we heard things on talk radio, the greatest source of news, that were never heard on Brokaw, Jennings and Rather. I doubt that Dave listened to talk radio 18 hours a day as I did.
