Those are my thoughts on the previous president. Those characteristics are shared by many liberals on this thread. Just an objective observation.

Then perhaps you'd share with us the thought process that produced your observation.

<<These qualities don't make Clit'n unique, they make him a liberal.>>

The author listed a number of Clinton descriptors in the excerpt you cited. They include:

profound immaturity
pathological selfishness
cynicism
relentless corruption
moral relativism
more attention to marketing than to substance
solipsistic callowness; angry, adolescent side; self-involvement; childishness
moral turpitude
poll whether or not he should tell the truth

The first four he attributed to Clinton, specifically. The rest he claimed were characteristic of Clinton's generation. You are saying that the characteristics on this list are neither specific to Clinton nor typical of his generation but typical of liberals. Perhaps you can elaborate.

I can where one might characterize liberals, as a group, as moral relativists. It's not apparent to me how the other characteristics might apply. I can more easily see them attributed to a generation, as did the author, than to a political perspective. How is it that you generalize from Clinton to a political group?

Say g'bye Doc. Karen's message to you was well-written and far kinder than one I'd make.
