Let's just say that you seemed disproportionately concerned with the bending of the rules when it was Clinton doing the bending, and disproportionately unconcerned over certain other incidents. Iran/Contra comes readily to mind. It's amazing how quick people are to blame things on the chief executive when the executive is one they dislike. It's easy to find people who will blame the excesses of '90s accounting on Clinton's moral example, but if you point out the flourishing trade in dodginess that went on during Reagan's watch (junk bond scandal, S&L scandal, etc.), the responsibility must be elsewhere. I've seen people on SI place the blame for the bombing of the USS Cole squarely on Clinton, but refuse to consider blaming Reagan for the bombing of the marine barracks in Beirut. It's the same phenomenon that you see when TP talks about Clinton: "but I liked him, of course he could do no wrong". Partisanship is such an odd phenomenon.
