Presidential Lie-brary

I just saw clips from this interview of Bill Clinton by Peter Jennings. It just reminded me of how fortunate we are to have George W. Bush in the White House. Clinton feels sorry for himself, even as he maintains with a bitter sneer that "he doesn't care about what his detractors think about him." When Jennings contradicted him, his eyes narrowed,

You don't want to go here, Peter. You don't want to go here. Not after what you people did and the way you, your network, what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every, little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea what that's like.

It's hard to feel sorry for a guy who doesn't seem to get the fact that he embarrassed every parent in America because he couldn't keep his pants up in the Oval Office. Is that really too much to ask of the man at the head of the country (No pun intended.)?

Of course, he's got this speech memorized by now, having honed it for four years. And of course, his subsequent actions, such as his midnight pardons, weren't discussed. Bill Clinton's career will probably mean nothing more to future generations than a question on a history pop quiz, like Warren G. Harding. That day can't come too soon.
