<< Bush, I'm afraid, doesn't seem to understand their danger. >>
Wish I could any longer believe that.
More and more I am of the opinion Bush's primary instinct insofar as the Clintons are concerned is to first protect the Oligarchy - 'do unto others - and second centers on his belief in the inseparability of the Office and its occupants.
And never mind the insurmountable mountain of evidence - down to their looting of the knives and forks - of their having spent eight years bemanuring the joint. And their along the way and for pennies on the Million Bucks flogging to their Peking masters a Trillion Dollars worth of our Nation's most vital nuclear and military, computer, rocketry, engineering, aeronautical and every other imaginable secrets and treasures.
Bush knows all of that.
Bush is a politician.
I agree with you. There's a patrician mindset that almost works in opposition to the political one.
But, in the end, it necessarily reduces to a failure to understand the danger; if he understood the danger, how could it not trump all his other priorities?
