How many times did we hear how Clinton would be "vindicated" in his "post presidency" from various left of normal pundits? Too often, as I remember it. This rationale enabled these same people to vote for Hillary for Senator-to-be-Pres, hoping that all that VRWC stuff would be proven false, and that their siding with the Clintons through scandal after scandal would also be vindicated. It seems like the power of the presidency gave Clinton sort of an immunity from reality; the halo of power shown all about... blinding the otherwise circumspect liberal, into siding with the most absurdly corrupt politician to hold the office of president in the last century. Now, reality dawns. Pundit after pundit, no longer blinded by the false halo, now begins to wrinkle up his nose, after he finally begins to smell what everyone else had sniffed from the get go. That is the rotten stench of corruption, and the absolute lack of character and integrity that are Clinton's most enduring legacies. But these are such subjective ways of looking at it... certainly historians will focus on more quantitative aspects of the Clinton error... er... era. Like... the mindless and long term damage done to American national security, in so many ways, so many that we are still discovering them, like the dismantling of human based anti terrorist intelligence gathering. We will suffer for the foolishness of 42% of the electorate for decades hence.
