Carl,
I'm sorry if I implied all Democrats were
Clintonistas. The "/" I put between the terms "Loyal
Democrats" and "Clintonista" were meant to show that
these were two different clans. I should have used the
term "and" instead of the "/" to make myself clearer.
(Does this remind you of Clinton's statement that "it
depends on what the meaning of "is" is?)
But you can't deny that many Loyal Demos were the
first to support and defend ole Billy boy and algore
during their many ethically challenged fundraising and
legal adventures.
Is it time now for Democrats to heave him overboard
and "distance" themselves from him or maybe even
(gasp) "move on" from the Clinton era?
