For the life of me, I cannot figure out why GWB wants us to overlook this cr@p. And as for the allegation that Clintoon was bleary eyed the last few days,,, I would suggest he was Bleary Eyed during the entire 8 years,, always lookin' over his shoulder.

I don't think he wants us to overlook it. It's better that we learn about the Clintonistas from others, not W. Bush has to look like he's above the fray.

I'm not convinced that congressional "force" in an effort to obtain documents from an "unwilling" administration isn't a part of the plan. Gotta get the press to demand it...right now they are just "reporting" the standoff. In about a week they'll be slamming the White House real hard for "withholding" information.

Hint: Do you remember when Ari said of stories involving Clinton admininistration last days property destruction - they'd better be careful what they ask for?

Right on, Granny. He was a total waste for 8 years. Actually, much worse than a total a waste, because to be a total waste would suggest that he did neither good nor harm. I don't think I have to expand on that topic. It's not who you really are, it's what you look and sound like on TV, and what Rather, Jennings and Brokaw say you are. Just bite your lip and cry fake tears. The lemmings will nod their heads and say, "Oh, okay, I wondered about that".......

It looks like jealousy if W goes after Clinton. After all, Bill was amazingly petty in always behaving as if he were on the campaign trail. He got away with it but the behavior diminished him and the office of the president.

The country honors the office of the president so much that we tend to overlook presidential crimes. I do not think we should, but it has been true for many decades. LBJ looted the White House, too, and no one noticed or cared. Read Caro's book about LBJ.
