I read that earlier on my own. Two quotes really stuck out in my mind:

1) Lanny Davis on the politics of personal destruction and

2) Mickey Kantor on the 90's economy.

[eureka!]

Likewise. Those two were most surprising. As to Lanny, he always seemed to try to justify in his heart what he was saying in the 'Toon's defense. Kind of a Susan Estrich character, a lib/Rat defender that isn't 100% sold out. Time will tell as more of these articles/books on the true legacy of the grifting Clinton are written....

Gotta wonder what Ron Brown, Jim McDougal and Vince Foster would have said.

Mickey Kantor on the 1990's economy: "No one should claim that what we did, what President Clinton did, created the eight most productive years in the history of the United States. No one should claim that."

All I've been waiting to hear is for 'ONE' Clinton Sycophant tell the truth about the 1990's economy and I believe this book will lay the groundwork to refute the consistent and outright lie that somehow "HE" was responsible for it. I'm proud to see that now that they have some distance away from the Clintoons, that they're actually pulling out the harpoons.For Mickey Kantor to publicly state that sentence, is beyond a miracle IMO.

Look here at what Lanny Davis and Mickey Kantor said.

I bet Clinton is re-writing that book yet again!! HA!

Bump for the clinton legacy.

"We used the scandal machinery. We abused it. And we set the precedent."

They've got nothing to lose. After all, the payoff for being a loyal FOB has always been to be thrown under the bus as required.

Yeah, Davis used to be a regular on G. Gordon Liddy's show. G used to introduce him as "Defending the indefensible." LOL.

This author was interviewed by Imus this morning. He also mentioned the number of times Clowntoon met face to face with his CIA and FBI directors. I forget the exact numbers, but you could count them on one hand. Un-freaking-believable. Big public persona, total waste of oxygen.

For Mickey Kantor to publicly state that sentence, is beyond a miracle IMO.

It is beyond a miracle. So much so, in fact, that one must ask what it is he's trying to do with this statement. Is he trying to set up somebody else's spin -- say, Joe Lieberman or Weasley Clark? Or is he trying to get in front of people who might be looking into the economic realities of Clinton's policies?

I think it may be a combination. The DNC drumbeat is "it's Bush's economy," despite the fact that the downturn -- not to mention the huge corporate scandals -- began on Clinton's watch.

Along those lines, I recently read something about the "unbridled greed of the '90s," in a surprising place (I don't recall where, it might have been a Newsweek quote).

IMHO, Kantor is still a shill, still spinning for Clinton to absolve him -- and also any Democrat candidates -- of being tainted by present economic difficulties.

This one was my pick as most interesting.

Well...just duh?
