Ad Nags

Some revisionist history in the NYT:

Mr. Clinton has been engaged in a campaign to establish himself as a respected force in American life after a rather messy departure from the White House, using his foundation for prominent work in the fight against AIDS in Africa.

The only thing messy about President Clinton's departure from the White House was the debacle known as Electiontheft 2000. Clinton played no role in that. And, of course, the impeachment farce was concluded before the President completed his second term.

Oh, wait. Maybe Ad Nags is talking about the fictitious trashing of the White House. Or maybe Marc Rich, the rich man's Cap Weinberger and Eliott Abrams (or the poor man's George H.W. Bush).

Clinton was always respected by many and hated, virulently, by a prominent many in the SCLM. Which brings us back to Nagourney.

[Clinton] is also trying to be less polarizing than he was when he left the White House, an effort to become less of a political weight if, as expected, Mrs. Clinton runs for president, friends said. The presence of Mr. Clinton next to Mr. Bush will make it that much harder, some Democrats said, for Republicans to attack the Clintons.

What? Lanny Davis and Dick Morris didn't want to see their names in the paper? There's a first time for everything.

Or is Nags talking about his friends, like Jodi Wilogren and Judith Fucking-Miller?

And there is nothing which will make it harder for Republicans to attack the Clintons, which Nags knows as well as he knows his speed dial number for Karl Rove.
