Clinton reminds me of a perrenial politician we had here in Louisiana, The Silver Fox, Edwin Edwards. The man was as crooked as the day was long, but he was so charismatic you couldn't help but like him.

There was one important difference though. He got his share, but the state did better under him than under many before him and all of the ones after.

And he kept it to himself. The IRS took so long getting him that his case is older than most of the people in my classes on campus.

Now, all of that being said, Clinton needs to go away and take his wife with him. He is so indicative of the lowest common denominator and how easy it is to convince them of what they want that it sickens me.

To borrow a line from Spider Robinson:

"I'll never understand people. Even being one doesn't seem to help."
