In the end, if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him, it seems the joke will be on all of us, for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility, for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy. We will have set apart clinton as the hero by making his victims less human than he; we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings as much as clinton himself does.
