Clinton is not our only recent nine president. Reagan is a nine. His falling asleep was metaphorical - nines are oblivious to themselves. Reagan's cheerful oblivion was one way the nine minimizes life's struggles. Eisenhower was a leader, but his campaign slogan had no content at all.
Nines are often lovable.
Reagan was loved even by people who disliked his economic and political policies. Quayle, another nine, is a little different. These politicians are intelligent nines, but their intelligence is interpersonal, intuitive and non-verbal. Dole had a hard time attacking Clinton because Clinton was all over the lot. He had so many ideas, so many positions that Dole could shoot down one or some, but Clinton had no priorities, so Dole couldn't focus his eightish wrath on any important one.
