It became no worse than countless other administrations. The only difference was the appetite of the press. While in the past the press "protected" Presidents and politicians to an extent, today's press is after only ratings. The Republican party can control the press no more than the Democrats can. When there's blood in the water the press attacks and where there's controversy, politicians are sure to push their agendas.
The attacks against Bush are worse, IMO, because they are encouraging terrorist organizations by showing a fractured country which they think will turn tail and run when faced with more death. A united front is the appropriate face to present to our enemies but that certainly isn't going to happen with the political climate of today.

Come now, you know the attacks on Clinton went much farther than that. Impeachment. That doesn't happen often. And over 'lying' about a blowjob. The millions of taxpayer dollars investigating Watergate that never turned up anything.
That goes well beyond what has happened to most any other president outside of Nixon.
