The Clinton Gap

"Remember the Missile Gap? The Gender Gap? Now
there's a new gap in politics: the Clinton Gap, measured as the
distance between the country's high approval rating of the
president in the midst of the Monica-Paula-Kathleen saga and
his standing in Washington, where it would be difficult to find a
Clinton defender who is not related to him, employed by him or
otherwise a supplicant to him."

So writes Stephen Hess, senior fellow in the governmental
studies program at the Brookings Institution, in an opinion
piece that appeared earlier this month in Newsday.
But the American political class was disdainful of Mr.
Clinton long before Monica Lewinsky appeared on stage, for
any number of reasons, Mr. Hess said.

"In short, it is probably the prevailing opinion in Washington
that Bill Clinton is the most mediocre president ever re-elected
in the 20th century."
