It's a valid point, KingOtter, here's what's interesting, though. Each of the above issues you mentioned were personal issues, maybe tying into groups of people but not corporate hand-outs. I think that it is directly related to the fact that Clinton was a career politician and Cheney and Bush are corporate guys.
You can make an argument as to the value of either history, but it's frightening to think that there are millions of dollars to be made by the investments of Dick and George in the very companies they are dealing with every day, not to mention cushy advisor positions waiting for them at these places in '08. Clinton wrote his book and gets paid a lot to speak like most retired presidents and does well. Both Dick and George have $100+ million fortunes to look after which could influence the most ethical of men...
