It came up again today on Meet the Press. Here is an excerpt: MR. RUSSERT: On impeachment day, Mr. Vice President, you said that "Bill Clinton will be regarded in history books as one of our greatest presidents." Who else do you believe should be considered our greatest president? VICE PRES. GORE: Oh. Well, we all know who are greatest presidents are from Washington and Jefferson to Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman and John Kennedy and all of the others. MR. RUSSERT: So you put Bill Clinton in the same company as Washington and Lincoln? VICE PRES. GORE: Listen, I think... MR. RUSSERT: No, it's a very serious question. VICE PRES. GORE: No, of course not. Of course not. But I think that his accomplishments are going to be regarded by the history books as far more significant than his personal mistakes. MR. CISCO: Then Mr. Vice President, why did you say on impeachment day that "Bill Clinton will be regarded in history books as one of our greatest presidents." ? msnbc.com
