It would have been a more honest article if Cal Thomas had addressed some specifics mentioned in the Newsweek article, like explaining WHY? it was that the elder Bush pardoned Orlando Bosch, believed by our own FBI to be a terrorist responsible for downing an airliner with over 70 people on board.

I started having second thoughts about how terrible, terrible, terrible the Clintons were when I read about Lamar Alexander's business dealings in the '96 New Hampshire primary. Alexander's good old boy money grubbing cronyism made the worst you could IMAGINE about Whitewater (which apparently was never provable, probably never true) look puny. Alexander was helped to make a million dollars off a $1 investment. But Alexander was confirmed by the Senate as the first Bush's Education Secretary by 100-0, with all the money grubbing sleaze right out there for the Senators to see.

Something about Clinton galled the Washington establishment and they went after him for stuff they never went after other pols on.

Lamar Alexander was never nominated by the Republican Party, much less elected President. In his case, the process "de-selected" him for higher office. In Clinton's case, the system failed.
