some corners of Left Blogistan can be just about as puritanical, shrilly ideological, and hysterical as the Right. I’ve had some experience with that, actually,

That comment wouldn’t have anything to do with the use of the “C-word” a couple of months back, now would it…?

I was not a Clinton fan either after the Waco incident early in 93.

1) Waco, like Somalia, was started by GHW Bush, not Clinton. (Bill Sessions and Larry Potts, Bush appointees, were calling all the shots. Reno only came in at the very end — she was freshly appointed AG — and all she knew about the situation was what Sessions and Potts were telling her.)

2) Vernon “David Koresh” Howell was a murderous child-molesting thug whose church’s favorite method of settling disputes involved gun battles. (The whole reason for the standoff was his desire to avoid arrest for the murder of Texas law enforcement personnel. And yes, he torched his own compound rather than surrender.)

3) Clinton did his damndest to fight Al-Qaeda, but was hobbled by the GOP/Media Complex’s screeching “WAG THE DOG!” every time he tried to go after Bin Laden. (Remember, the press was still referring to Osama as just a little old Saudi financier right up until 9/11.)

There are good reasons to attack Bill Clinton. These are not good reasons. They are GOP/Media mythology with their origins in RNC blast-faxes to their willing press stenographers.
