I forget the source. Believe I read it on FR.
Reportedly Bush was told on entering office that if he hung any of Clinton's folks for their sins, THE DIMRATS IN CONGRESS WOULD LOCK IT DOWN TIGHT AND NOTHING WOULD BE DONE FOR BUSH'S WHOLE TERM.
But, sadly, increasingly, methinks the whole political play is a horrendous version of good cop/bad cop by the same puppet masters.
I actually catch myself taking all this religiously serious sometimes. It's important. We need to fight evil untill the last breath .... but I can see the falling away permeating everything around me. Won't be all that long now.
