"People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."Does anyone else miss Bill? At least within the context of the Bush years? Right there, in a nutshell, is the failure of mind within Dubya's administration.
Unfortunately, we've allowed the GOP and their minions in the press to force Bill to keep his head down, as if a boom-era president was something to be ashamed of. Considering the trespasses of the Bush Administration, Bill's impeachment for lying about a blowjob (and what married man wouldnt?) seems almost quaint now. Of course, should Obama manage to get himself an extramarital hummer during his possible presidency, you can be sure that the press will make a very big deal of it.
Actually, I would predict that 50 years from now, the real villain of the last 8 years (hell, make it 16) will be the media, because none of this would have played out the way it did had the fourth estate been doing its job properly. They have failed at their job as the People's Watchdog, choosing instead to play rent-boy to the money and power of the Republican Party, and their constituency of the über-rich.

I just wish he was around more in 2000 or 2004...It could have been Gore or Kerry passing the tourch on.

You know, I think I'll make this an addendum to the post.
A-friggin'-men.
