But also: sour grapes, much? Clinton's been out of office for five whole years, during which time conservatives have held an iron grip on nearly every facet and level of government, but they're still obsessed with the guy. They can't stop talking about him for even five minutes. It's incredible how important a figure he is in their mythology. And somehow, he's still the scapegoat for everything Bush does wrong.

"How can you support Bush when he did X?"
"Yeah well, Clinton did Y!"
"That didn't answer my question."
"Clinton was the worst president ever!"
"Okay... but -"
"And Hillary's even worse! Actually, we hope the Democrats nominate her!"
"But that's not what I -"
"And Chelsea's ugly!"

well put, perfect post as is +++
