In Praise of Slick Willy

You know, I never considered myself a Bill Clinton "fan." We have him to thank for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and DOMA. He did some things I definitely disagreed with, and then there was that whole distasteful cigar business.

But then I see him on TV every once in a while, and I think about our current Nincompoop in Chief, and I think, "Oh my God, I would kill to have a President who could think in complete sentences again."

We'd have had DODT and DOMA without Clinton's reluctant approval--he'd just have sacrificed a few points of his own popularity in the face of inevitable failure.

I'd like him better today had he done that, but I can't quite justify blaming him per se. I blame Colin Powell more, at least for DODT. (Thank God he was arrogant enough to work for Bush and ruin his "good" name.)

I've disagreed with Clinton on several issues, but I have always been impressed while watching his speak. A friend of mine believes that the Republicans are trying to push the idea that Clinton is to blame for Bin Laden & the 9-11 attacks, with mid-terms coming up they want to push the negative stuff onto the Democrats.

The first democrat to find his balls? I think perhaps maybe Obama and Feingold sent Clinton a map.
