Lest I imply I think that only the Bushes have revealing facial expressions -- Clinton's facial expressions would often make me go OH PLEASE. His specialty was expressions connoting false humility, it seemed to me. An extra touch was the biting of the lower lip, conveying sensitivity and humility amplified to a degree sufficient to morph him into an actual little boy. Directed to the females in the audience, I assume.

He was a puzzle. Obviously a super high IQ, but so unbelievably clueless in some ways. Like, ethically, knock knock, anybody home? The classic definition of tragedy sure fits -- the fall from high estate to low estate through a fault in character. But there was the additional puzzle, separate from ethics, having to do with how he would think he could get away with everything he did. That's a psychological thing, I think. Did he like those risks, or what?
