The funny thing about Clinton is that he says things so well but says nothing worth remembering. To quote from Brideshead Revisited, his words are like beautiful soap bubbles that float into the air and then "pop". Really is there anything that Clinton says that you remember five minutes after he speaks? - other than the usual pathetic attempts at evading the truth:
etc. etc.
My favorite Clinton barf moment (as there are so many, it is SO hard to choose ), is what he said at the 2000 Dem convention , by way of underwriting the candidacy of Al Gore. "Fiftyfour years ago this week, I was born in a summer storm to a young widow in a small Southern town"
--he then went on to ring further changes on all the overwrought boilerplate we've come to expect from The Great Stainmaker. But there was something that really got me about that sentence, and the misty look Clinton put in his eye: that pukey self-memorializing, as if he is his own best sycophant and instant biographer, following himself around, never letting a moment pass without milking the
audience for approval, or missing an opportunity to turn the light HIS way, let it shine down on HIM. Very little about Al Gore was actually spoken in that speech. He has a lot in common with his ardent supporter Babs Streisand. All her movies for 25 years have been major league Vanity Productions.
