It was Bill Clinton, that wily Arkansas politician, who figured out what was remarkably clear to everyone else except his fellow liberals – that criminals were scumbags and the political price of excusing their depredations was not even remotely worth paying.

I have a problem with that statement.

As somebody with a criminal mind himself, Clinton never gave a damn about anybody, and a criminal was just somebody standing in his way, and authorizing an execution was one more step towards realizing his ambitions.

The road to achieving power, is littered with Clinton's victims.

Clinton is the last person to be held up as a crime-fighting politician. He was just as much a criminal as those he authorized to be put to death.

Well, to me, that’s exactly what the statement you have a problem with, said. Using different words but meaning the same thing. Clinton was entirely a politician, not a crime fighter in the least, is what the statement said to me when I read it. So when I read yours, it served to reinforce that point, rather than “correct” the statement.
