You know, the Clintons problem is and was that they believed the Hollywood version of the Presidency. They watched too many movies and thought that President's actually do this stuff..."suicide" potential leaks, sell national secrets for campaign donations, audit poliical enemies, bang intern in the Oval office, fire anyone for any reason, etc. The came to Washington and they thought the Hollywood version was what they got to do...and it was fun! fun! fun! All the things they accuse Reps of doing through Hollywood and hte Media they were doing.
Clinton is a failure to everyone but hollywood and the media because he was good at soundbites and drama. He left the leadership of the country to the Media and the Dem elites. Whatever they wanted, they could make Bill do. All they had to do was plant a story, do a poll, create a "buzz" and next thing you know it's policy. Hence the media and hollywood love any leader who doesn't lead - which explains their hatred for Bush.
Very astute observations.

Come listen to a story 'bout a man named BJ........
Good point, and I think you are right. In their adolescent imaginations they thought that the evil Republicans had done this kind of stuff all the time, so they would do it, too, only in the name of all that is righteous and good (Marxism, pacifism, etc etc).
At least we were spared another boy president by a few thousand decent Florida voters. Lord help us next time.
