How long has Bill Clinton been out of office?  There was a report on NPR 
this morning about a conservative gathering in DC where they're selling 
unflattering Bill Clinton toys.  The Republican right condemns those who 
criticize George W. Bush as "Bush haters", and as being unpatriotic, but 
it's OK for them to continue to bash Clinton?  Double standard, anyone?
