(I don't think Clinton's fragile self esteem can tolerate a *hint* of criticism any more, it's as precarious as Michael Jackson's nose!)
That is what Billy Dale was all about. They could have fired him in a heartbeat and been perfectly legally justified. But instead of being criticized for firing an old faithful public servant, they'd rather have every action they take be on behalf of a moral crusade.
I think your connection is true. But I also think that Clinton has gotten much much more fragile since he's been out of office. Earlier in the week, I printed out a 10 page article written by a woman reporter during a recent trip of his to Africa (it was a New York -something- article).
It was delicious to read! He's crumbling into little insecure pieces. An investigation into these matters may just send him over the edge. I know we've been wishing that for years. It was a delight to see it happening. (I may have to repay that pleasure karmically someday, it will be worth it. lol)
The man has been seeking approval all his life, and he's finally getting slapped, from every side. He worked hard to deserve it!
