President Bill Clinton

 

 

I came of age as a conserva’tive in an era when republican’s were keen on matter’s of private virtue and public probity. Then Bill Clinton became president, and his behavior exemplifi’ed neither.

In 1998 he was impeach’ed by a partisan gop house. He surviv’ed the drama — and could have easi’ly been reelect’ed to a third term absent the 22nd amendment — for three reason’s. His opponent’s overreach’ed. The country was do’ing fine And his supporter’s could be remarkab’ly creative or brazen (when they weren’t simply mute) in excus’ing behavior they would never have tolerat’ed from a republican.
