IMOUBBO (in my own unvarnished, baby boomer opinion), the major differences between JFK and WJC are class and political era. Diddling one's interns, social secretaries, wife's best friends, the neighbors, maybe even visitors to Lincoln's Bedroom--this habit seems to be viewed as a sign of JFK's virility whereas WJC is portrayed as a sex addict. And isn't it interesting how the First Ladies are treated? Jackie became a saint, Hillary a senator (imagine, having to be embraced by Strom Thurmund, BLGGHGGG).

I just think the "religious right" thought they were going to turn the government into a bible study group (lessons which they obviously needed to spend more time on) and got so pissed off that they had to crucify somebody. To make matters worse, WJC even sounds like a good old boy. There was a column by somebody in the paper today, David Sarasohn, I think, who thinks Clinton really looks great, as opposed to Reagan and the Father of George W., who both looked haggard following their presidential years.

Somehow I don't picture WJC out building houses with Habitat for Humanity.
