One of the most astute political observers on the planet declared with crystal clarity that, next to Bill, President George W. Bush will be the man most at fault if Hillary Clinton is elected President. Not because Bush's blunders have hurt the GOP, not because Bush isn't fighting the Clintons hard enough, and not because Bush is helping them in minor ways - Morris was explicit that this Republican President has single-handedly put the Democratic Clintons back within striking distance of the White House. The way that his term ended made Bill was an albatross around Hillary's neck (the White House china, the pardons, etc). But President Bush rehabilitated Bill Clinton and therefore the Clintons: he saved Bill's image by linking it to Bush I after the tsunamis, he prevented the Justice Department from giving Sandy Berger anything but a wrist slap, and he was presumably involved in the decision to have stratospherically-popular Laura Bush speaking at Clinton's summit. The scariest part of Morris's description? His surreal admission that he just outright doesn't understand what Bush could possibly be thinking - of tens of hundreds of political scenarios that Morris can game play, he can't see a single way that President Bush's actions make sense. And that's enough to transform Bush's inexplicable helping hand from frustrating to scary - it suggests something in the way irrational myopia or sentimentalism , something that in turn bodes poorly for the prospect of the President doing what needs to be done in the next six months.
