While I agree with most of what Frum writes, Dick Clarke was a holdover of the Reagan and Bush administrations that *Clinton* kept over. How was George W. Bush to know that this registered Republican, who had worked in both Reagan and Bush I White Houses, had turned to the "dark side" during the Stainmaker's reign.

It could be something else that another poster said on another thread. The truth might be that someone tipped Clarke off that if the Clinton administration got the blame, he was going to be the fall guy. This is classic preemption, Clarke knows the Clintons, and he knows he is uniquely positioned to be bludgeoned by them.
