Leading a leftist Democratic Party into the 21st Century never appealed much to him anyway. He did this without electoral risk. Clinton was well aware that the leftist base in the party would tolerate almost anything he did. Apparently anything less than 1.2 million abortions per year is simply too great a hardship to stand. Though they deserve credit for being highly motivated and effective, spin is easy if you are willing to lie.
Any fool can do that.
Every once in a while the truth does come out. In a rather unguarded moment, David Brinkley gave millions of viewers a highly accurate assessment of Bill Clinton. He has not a creative bone in his body. Therefore, he's a bore, and will always be a bore. Though the courtly Mr. Brinkley was terribly embarrassed at his faux pas, there we found more truth than has come out of ABC in a long time, with one exception.
