Remember when Poppy bush threw up on the lap of the person next to him & took a dive at some fancy affair in (iirc) Japan? When the press got hold of it, they kept replaying it like the Dean Scream of years later. That's when I began to wonder if some sort of media fix was in for Clinton.

Clinton had his own vulnerabilities during the '92 campaign with respect to rumors of prior affairs, but they never really caught fire except among the right-wingers of the time.
