“The Comeback Id”

“Throughout his career, Bill Clinton has justified acts of extraordinary selfishness in the name of idealism—he’s always in it for the people, the plain folks who tell pollsters they trust him to look out for their interests, even if they don’t trust him.”

Here is the Vanity Fair article by Todd Purdum everyone is freaking out about. It certainly casts a slightly different light on the former president, however, perhaps one that, given recent events, no one is surprised to hear. It is strange though, to make that mental shift from viewing him as the president everyone identified with to a jet-setting socialite. Maybe he should grow a beard. Worked for Al Gore.

In case you don’t completley believe the article, read the Clintons’ almost equally long response.
