The Myth of Bill Clinton, Political Genius (Jonathan Chait) from New York Magazine
"... is there any actual reason to believe the story of Clinton as political impresario is anything more than a mutually convenient myth?"
I have long felt that Bill's reputation in this area was greatly exaggerated. He was brilliant ... in extricating himself from the political dung holes that he created and then promptly jumped into. As I have long argued here, for a two-term president, he accomplished very little, and that this was largely due to how he (and, yes, Hillary) squandered their political capital on "hail Mary" political rescues rather than on much that made a substantive difference for the American people. -- Nuggetsman
