Life of HiS Party

SINCE I come not to bury Bill Clinton but to praise him (well, a little), I had better begin by signing the requisite loyalty oath. So: I hereby affirm my belief that he has besmirched the office of the presidency, that he has been guilty of numerous criminal offenses, and that he deserved to be convicted by the Senate after being impeached by the House.

Having got all that out of my system, I can now proceed with a clear conscience to explain why I still have something good to say for Clinton. But I can do so only by sketching in a bit of historical background.
