I'll align myself with Horowitz, which I usually do. If anyone knows the liberal mind, inside and out, it is he.

"David Horowitz (Mr. Horowitz is the founder of frontpagemag.com):

This is an interesting review, but I strongly demur from the view that Clinton hatred exceeds Bush hatred by any measure. Conservatives are more disgusted by Clinton; but they are not so blinded by their negative feelings that they don't appreciate Clinton's achievements, the centrism of his policy (when he wasn't surrendering his better judgment to interest groups), his brilliance as a politician. By contrast so-called liberals and leftists have a hatred of Bush that is so intense it reduces their view of him to absurdities -- he's a moron, a liar and evil. None of these are remotely related to any truth of the man or his presidency and the passion of belief in them is so strong that obscures any appreciation for his achievements in the war on terror and foreign policy generally which far surpass anything Clinton was able to do."

(And far surpasses everything that Clinton DIDN'T do, that we, as a Nation, now need to clean up.)

Great analysis. I suspect we are going to hear a lot more about "Clinton-hating" in the MSM in order to distract from their own mindless loathing of W (and rationalize opposition to the H Beast).

Clinton was no "brilliant politician"! His vote totals for President were under 50%. He was impeached, his party lost the Senate and House under his tenure, his policies were a ruination, he is a disgraced man. That is not "brilliance" -- it is at best "carnival huksterism"! He is notorious, not famous.
