"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998

 Diagnosis: Clinton Fatique
By Alex Beam In 1999, after almost seven years of Bill Clinton's rule, the commentariat christened a new buzzterm: Clinton fatigue. The peccadilloes, the double-dealing, the outright lying had overwhelmed the American public. "The Clintons have finally worn out their welcome," wrote columnist Linda Bowles. "There is a prevailing sentiment that it's time for them to go, and to take their baggage with them."

By Alex Beam In 1999, after almost seven years of Bill Clinton's rule, the commentariat christened a new buzzterm: Clinton fatigue. The peccadilloes, the double-dealing, the outright lying had overwhelmed the American public. "The Clintons have finally worn out their welcome," wrote columnist Linda Bowles. "There is a prevailing sentiment that it's time for them to go, and to take their baggage with them."I'm not talking about Mrs. Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Senator Clinton, Hillary Rodham, or whatever she is choosing to call herself for this news cycle. She's no different from every intelligent, overachieving, soulless corporate lawyer I've ever known. She's far from boring, and as unprincipled as she needs to be. Trotting out Bill Shaheen to slime Obama with the drug smear - slick work, Hill! You're more than ready to knife-fight with the big boys.My Clinton fatigue is about Bill. I am getting sick of him.Bill's problem is that he has no idea of how to be a political wife. Right now, Michelle Obama is the best in the business. Smart, accomplished, articulate, and capable of projecting empathy, she moves the Obama campaign forward with every appearance. She fills the stage without stealing the spotlight from her husband, from Oprah, or from whoever she appears with. With Bill Clinton, it's just the opposite. He is a great campaigner; he is a former president; the cameras flock to him like cocktail waitresses to a hedge-fund manager.It's when he opens his mouth that things go awry. A few weeks ago, Tim Russert challenged Hillary to open up the archives of her activities during her husband's administration. It was a tough question, and she didn't handle it well. The fact is that all administrations, not just Bill Clinton's, have been playing hide-and-seek with the National Archives since the Nixon administration. Of course the Clintons don't want the Lewinsky Papers declassified before, say, the year 3025, but that's just smart politics.
