Clinton, the World, and Everything

Bill Clinton gave a hell of a speech the other day in which he makes the case for lifting up the world. It sounds some of the themes in Tom Friedman‘s recent column and, if I may be so immodest, in my Generation Alpha fantasy … except Bill’s is far better than either of these efforts.

Read it and try to picture this coming out of Chimpie’s mouth. (Pardon me. He deserves our respect as president. Make that “President Chimpie.”)

While we’re on the topic, I highly recommend Jeffrey Toobin’s book, A Vast Conspiracy. Toobin is a mainstream author – The New Yorker, network commentator – who convincingly makes the case that Clinton was brought down for unremarkable sins by an organized effort that began in Arkansas. He’s also a very readable author. (His OJ book, The Run of His Life, was also a great “read.”)

(Thanks to Gary Turner for pointing out the Clinton speech.)
