It’s supposed to be a time for role-changing – when President Clinton steps offstage to remake himself into the young elder-statesman – America’s newest honored icon… but it seems he just can’t shake the spotlight.
Here – a full month past the inauguration of George W. – Bill continues to accumulate scandal and dominate headlines… From expensive executive offices to rickety furniture acquisitions and problematic pardons – the ex-president and his Senator wife are suffering the slings and arrows of public outrage and family misfortune.
And it’s not just the Clintons who are suffering – fellow Democrats are chafing in the hot sun of negative attention.
