In Bob Schieffer's new book, 'This Just In', he writes about his first encounter with clinton, it was a speech clinton gave at the 1988 convention to nominate Dukakis. clinton rambled on and on , Gephardt said he thought it would never end, and when clinton finally said "in conclusion" the whole place erupted into thunderous applause. Because he was finally going to finish, not because it was any good. The next morning clinton had brushed it off like nothing had happened, and told Schieffer that no one told him he was going way too long, and no one this and that, and said he was "up there as a soldier trying to do my duty, and I hope I did that". After that conversation, Schieffer writes this: "So there it was. Clinton had not been at fault. The good soldier who had been trying to do his duty for Dukakis had been the victim of bad strategy. It would be the first time we would see clinton portray himself as a victim, but it would not be the last." Even back then, all the news media did not take clinton seriously, as everyone knew he had a "zipper problem"...
