From Max Boot (!), a veteran of the WSJ editorial page:
- The mystery of Clinton is that he was an essentially conservative president perhaps the most conservative Democrat in the White House since Grover Cleveland and yet he was loathed by conservatives. So much so that he was accused of all sorts of awful things he didn't actually do, from murdering Vince Foster to being in cahoots with the Chinese. I don't blame Clinton for getting a tad upset about the nutty accusations tossed his way and for not being able to figure out what a good ole boy with a saxophone and a smile had ever done to justify such venom.
I'm not sure I can explain it either....
