re: From their nearly unanimous condemnation of Bill Clinton for his extramarital affairs
I would beg to pick a nit with Cal here. The condemnation of Bill Clinton by the conservative Right was a lot more inclusive than simply his extramarital affairs. Everything about him was cause for alarm for this member of the conservative Right.
"I would beg to pick a nit with Cal here."
The tone is patronizing.
And he doesn't mention Reagan's marriages - that would undermine his thesis, and self-appointed sense of superiority.
I don't think he disregards everything else, but Thomas is addressing marriage.
