“Liberals get do-overs, conservatives get sentences.”
this is not an analogy, but it popped into my brain when I read that, and, it has to do with the Clintons.
it’s always hard to nail a democrat. my personal view is because if you snitch, or are about to snitch (vince foster), on a democrat, you turn up dead. so during the whitewater hearings, the gop thought they finally got bill because a kid named josh steiner had written incriminating stuff in his diary. anyhow, as steiner sat before the committee, and the gop was drooling waiting for the admission, amazingly steiner said he lied to his own diary. and he was even cheered by diane Feinstein for saying it.
the gop will always be amateurs in wheeling and dealing compared to liberals.
I remember that. It demonstrated the futility of our cause.
