Clinton is savvy. He had to comeback from genuine self-inflicted scandels, W has only had to come back from scandels made up by the MSM.

I don't know HOW I did that! Sorry for stuttering.

There is nothing terribly new about Mr. Harris's assessment of Mr. Clinton in this book. Well that tells me what I needed to know ...

BJ doesn't look so hot on that picture.

Well, he's right about that much - he is kinda like a bozo doll.... they need to be deflated rather than merely smacked. Only when a liberal is deprived of their hot air do they become more manageable....

"I'm the big rubber clown doll you had as a kid, and every time you hit it, it bounces back." 

A premise worth testing.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Bill Clinton is in the final months, perhaps years, of a life that has been a cartoon of the man himself. From slob to slob. He has fooled the public into thinking he is something he is not now nor ever was.
He will pass and then a host of indiscretions will come forth but the media will continue to overlook the facts and perpetuate the lies.
He is a perverted rapist with no conscience or ability to confront HIS weaknesses.
What a loser.

BJ Clinton was able to continually bounce only because the MSM was on his side. If not for the loving MSM, his political "genius" would have shown for what it really is (Only a Machiavellian realization of how much he could get away with because of a sympathetic press.).

It was always about him. If he had had a third term, we would be a Muslim state by now and he would be declaring victory.

I am thrilled Clinton squandered his eight years and was a zilch domestically. However, his myopic foreign policy has cost the country dearly.

He got away with Monicascrewgate (where is she?) making it Monicasuckgate. Where is MSM investigating this obvious escapade?

BJ Clinton was able to continually bounce only because the MSM was on his side. Absolutely true!

.....his ability to make it to the end of two terms in the White House despite the ravages of impeachment proceedings, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Whitewater investigations and a noxious atmosphere of vociferous partisanship in WashingtonWhat he does not say: the ever-present and over-the-top support offered up by MSM to defend and obfuscate countless lies, crimes, and acts of treachery and treason.

But it is the differences between the two men that stand out most starkly: Mr. Clinton's efforts "to capture the center while trying to tame the more ideological elements of his party," in contrast to Mr. Bush's efforts to appeal to his party's ideological base;That passage is one of many that underlines Harris' inability to separate truth from fiction. Clearly Harris has fallen for the smoothly-spoken big lie, time after time after time. No doubt Harris sincerely believes that Clinton honestly meant it when he stated that "the era of big government is over". But the conclusions of a credulous author so totally divorced from reality are not likely to have much merit.
