The Comeback Kid, Indeed

How Clinton is winning

It has now been a year since President Clinton was acquitted by the Senate – only a year. Never has one year seemed more like ten, or twenty. The impeachment drama has acquired some of the antiqueness of, say, the Mayaguez incident. Rep. John Kasich said recently that he had never seen an issue once so important “that crosses our minds less.” Another Ohio congressman, Ted Strickland, said, “It almost seems unreal that it ever happened. It seems irrelevant at this point.”
