It's Sir THOMAS More, Lord Chancellor of England. Anyone with the slightest acquaintance with "A Man for All Seasons" should know that, even though the play is not an accurate portrayal of a difficult and complex (but admirable) man.
As Professor Kirk said, "Bless me, what DO they teach them in these [journalism] schools?" Sadly, a howler like this makes the entire item suspect.
As for Bill, that rotten SOB knows exactly what he is doing. The sooner he can go from having everyone laugh at him to laughing with him, the sooner they'll forget about all the lies and hopefully just remember his time as being full of hope and optimism, plump 401k's, and no Homeland Security warnings. It is the process of "innoculation" so that when HRC goes for the gold, his transgressions will be minimized in the public memory.
Many of us will not forget, will not be laughing, and will not be forgiving, but unfortunately many others will.
