"All conservatives (I am one too) need to relax. Where's the respect? He was a American President. Does that count for nothing?"

Eventually, perhaps, it will. But not without Bubba doing something positive to resurrect his RQ (Respect Quotient).

Recall that Jimmy Carter left office in semi-disgrace. And Richard Nixon in several multiples of full disgrace. While Clinton didn't depart under similar circumstances, events have conspired to, indeed, reduce him to irrelevance. Contempible irrelevance, in fact.

At the moment, the healthiest attitude toward Clinton is to ignore him. But, for some perverse reason, he won't let us do that. Instead, he insists on injecting himself into the national dialogue. And, because of this, he warrants the dismissive treatment in Deb's column.

If the Schlickmeister would only sit down and shut up, we could safely ignore him. Then, if he figuratively chose to build homes for poor people (instead of, literally, a memorial for himself), we might eventually have the opportunity to re-evaluate and respect him.

Maybe...

If he'd have the grace to let the new President lead, we might be prone to not criticize him at least. But he keep popping up like one of those never-die monsters in a slasher movie. That's why we get paranoid. He won't leave us alone. I keep wanting to say, " Take that sourpuss of yours and go back in your cave."
