There was much there which contrasted the President Reagan and billyblythe. It was amazing that simply speaking the truth about a giant man of extreme honor couldn't help but point out the vileness of the nature of another.
Clinton was just reflecting on his memories of President Reagan. Even as President Reagan uttered that famous sentence:"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall", clinton was right there, on the other side, spray-painting "Reagan @#!#!!" graffiti on it.
Beautifully put. . .
And I think here is where just a hint of self-recognition breaks through on Clinton; and he struggles to hide the obvious; by closing his eyes and even feigning a momentary lapse into sleep.
I know humiliation typically escapes Clinton; but do hope, in spite of himself; he was feeling some extremely hot sweat.
