A true leader encompasses moral courage and integrity. Mr. Clinton was not endowed with either one. Also, while President Bush is not perfect, at least he is not a prevaricating adulterer. His legacy seems assured. Clinton's legacy is the dubious distinction of becoming only the second president impeached in the history of the US. All of the damage control in the world will never erase that fact.
He had it all and he blew it.
