Last week, Mike Tomasky posited that Barack Obama's best strategy going forward would be to tap into Americans' deep-seated anxieties about a Clinton presidency. One of those anxieties, of course, has to do with Bill's potential behaviour in the White House. Wrote Mike:
I want to be careful how I say this, but, with regard to Bill, there is a widespread assumption that he has probably not, you know, changed his ways. Do voters really want to live through that again? Of course, this is speculative on my part, and in any case it's very hard to say how a rival campaign could broach this subject.
Well, today, the cable news seems to be broaching it for him. As part of their coverage of the the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, they're taking the opportunity to look back at great poltical sex scandals past. Images of Bill hugging Monica on the rope line feature prominently.
