First there was old Webb Hubbell, a slob, as in slobbering. We all know that Webb played the good soldier and did jail time for the good of the crowd. But Webb's greatest service for the Clinton crowd may have been to give Bubba an heir. Clinton is such a pathological liar it is hard to believe anything that he says. But Clinton is reported to have told more than one of his sexual prey that he was sterile, a claim which I am inclined to believe. If that is true, then Chelsea does bear some resemblance to old Webb.
If Watergate was a third rate burglary, then what would you call filegate during the Clinton days. Craig Livingstone was a third rate burglar and he had the certification from Sears to prove it.
Janet Reno was a hybrid slob who combined eccentricity with slobbery, a latter day Mammy Yokum if you will. Eccentric slobbery gave her a free pass to barbecue stray Christian sheep at Waco and to employ jack booted thugs to take little Elian in the middle of the night.
On the purely eccentric line there was young Josh Steiner who would have us believe that he was so eccentric, that he lied to his diary.
Then there was Madeline Albright who disguised slobbery with charm but who in fact seemed to be cut of the same cloth of Berger.
It was typical Clinton who was reported after the latest Berger burglary to be laughing at Berger not with him. Clinton as always, trying to play the coolest guy on the planet by admitting that Berger was always a slob and a jerk, but that he was doing nothing criminal. Clinton learned early let the slobs take the fall and if you have any smart guys working for you like Vince Foster, deal with them in other ways because non-slobs like Foster are not likely to ever accept playing the stooge.
I just remarked to my wife, after reading your reference to Web Hubbell, the amazing loyalty Bill Clinton engendered in people to whom he felt none. Susan McDougal also came to mind.
