Sebelius: The Clinton White House doubled down on 'abusive behavior' and it's fair to criticize Hill

17. Good points

The one big difference though is the media smears may not have been nearly as effective, as the public would have gotten to know Al and Tipper as President and First Lady over 3 years, the real Al and Tipper, and maybe they would have bonded as Al helped the nation through the trauma of a presidential resignation. That's the one wildcard that makes me wonder.

As an aside, I remember 2000 as being when the media turned into right-wing shills. I was just 17 but I remember at the time noticing the huge difference in the way the media treated the Clinton re-election versus the Gore candidacy. If you remember, in 1996, they were very fair to Bill Clinton and the Democrats; and were still watchable. They turned into total ass-hats that year and have been since.

I dwelled on 2000 almost obsessively until the mid-term election of 2006 helped me to heal some of my pain from the 2000 loss.
