I'm a big fan of WJC.
I finished reading Primary Colors on the train this morning, and emerged liking the guy even more. Yes, he's fallible, has his brains in his penis and isn't above a little economy with the truth - but what politician ever is.
I do think he actually cared, and wanted to help those at the bottom of the pile. I was fortunate enough to do a couple of press trips with him, and the guy had the most astonishing charisma - he was addicted to human touch, and would talk to and warm to people even if there were no hacks or cameraman around.
It's just too bad the poor sod couldn't have been president at another time, when the media and the world at large may have been more tolerant. I sometimes wonder how even FDR would stand up to the modern spotlight...
