Delusional is as delusional does:

......"I think the President's reputation is pretty darn good in the eyes of the American people," Mr. Bennett said.

Uttered by anyone other than a professional advocate, the remark would
seem delusional. It certainly fit a pattern whereby the case for public respect
of Mr. Clinton weakens while his lawyers and spinners celebrate their own
toughness and threaten the destruction of his enemies. The fact is that by the
steady deployment of their destructive skills against the citizens they
designate as enemies, the President's hired defenders are shredding their
boss's claim on public admiration.....

.....His advocates and supporters have a mantra: these are only allegations. But
that is a temporary shelter. It permanently protects Mr. Clinton's place in
history only if there are no seedy facts to emerge in the trial that Mr. Bennett
says he will make into a pitched battle come this May. Common sense
dictates that such a trial can help Mr. Clinton only if it is shown that a sizable
number of women have been enlisted in an astonishingly complex campaign
of coordinated lying.

The lawyers and certain White House aides keep beating the tocsin for a
publicity war. They would serve their boss better by finding some way of
sensible retreat. At Camp David this weekend, Mr. Clinton should reflect on
the fact that Mr. Bennett will not write the history books. But he seems to
have perfected a dandy way to produce a lot of negative material for those
who will.
