Clinton Camelot Award
“While
George Bush – all whiteness – talks about ‘family values,’ the Clintons
demonstrate them by confessing to adultery.”
– Former Washington Post reporter Sidney Blumenthal in The New Republic, Feb. 17.
Runners-up:
“I
must say I was struck by the expanse of their chests. They may have to
put out their stats.”
– Newsweek reporter Eleanor Clift on Clinton and
Gore, CNN’s Inside Politics, July 10.
“It would have been
outrageous if he [Clinton] had been done in by the draft thing because
that was a bum rap. The word ‘draft dodging’ does not belong in any
sentence with Bill Clinton’s name in it.”
– Time Editor-at-Large (and
Clinton friend) Strobe Talbott, March 7 Inside Washington.
“When
they appear with their wives, Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore, they look
like two suburban couples, perhaps old college friends, out on the town
for a good time. And whether they are playing miniature golf with their
wives, tossing a football around or gleefully backslapping each other
at campaign rallies, the images and the message are always the same:
Youth, vigor, energy. And change.”
– Washington Post reporter Edward
Walsh, July 23.
