There was a clip on CNN this morning, McCurry saying that it was difficult to reconcile Clinton's enormous public gifts and his "bizarre personal behavior." I quote that phrase precisely. It raised larger questions, thinking about Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and John F. Kennedy, all of whom engaged in personal behavior most of us would consider bizarre. I wondered whether the type of personality that makes politicians had as a corollary that type of strange behavior, but then I started thinking about Jimmy Carter, and Gerald Ford, and Al Gore, all of whom apparently have exemplary personal lives. I couldn't resolve the contradictions, and decided not to make generalizations.
