For eight years, we endured the endless scandals, twists and turns of the Clintons. We were enthralled and breathless as story after story unfolded on the front pages of Time, Newsweek, and the Washington Post, retold with salacious and exciting detail on the evening news. Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, Presidential dalliances, Chinese political donations, accusations of murder, and stained dresses. Remember..... Most people don't, for one reason or another... the big sigh of relief this nation felt when the inventor of the word "is" moved out of the White House, flavored cigars and all?
How dull it has been for these last eight years. Oh, Bush mismanaged the nation's economy at the start, but 9/11 bailed him out of his lackadaisical leadership record. Then, he badly bungled Iraq... But there were no really gut wrenching, eyes-glued-to-the-TV stories during Bush's terms, such as those provided by the Clintons.
So, why would it not be a natural to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater mistakes of the future? Let's get Hillary and Bill and Chelsea and Monica and the gang back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Make my predicitions of ten years ago come true. And, let's get our attention back off international relations and back on the next story to unfold, as well as the question of whether or not Monica really intends to wear that famous dress to the inaugural ball?
My God, don't you really wish you lived in France?
