How much of Clinton's anger was righteous and how much was just an angry bitter man?

I'm puzzled by the "political enemy" reference. Maybe you can expand on that?
I havent seen anything that Condi said that that challenged what Clinton said or demonstrated how Bush did anything in the first 8 months to deal with the al Queda threat. Quite the opposite; she continues to perpetuate the myth in her own mind that Clarke did not give her a detailed and urgent general plan to deal with al Queda.
Dick Morris, an indepdendent commentator? Many in Washington describe him now as a political hack who makes his money trashing the Clintons. More power to him, but I dont take him seriously.
And as to the Clinton'a anger, I only hope that other Dems demonstrate the same righteous anger in the coming weeks. I agree the Dems have failed miserably in recent elections, primarily IMO because they let the Repubs define them with bombastic rhetoric that was never grounded in reality.
On the bright side, there is a new generation of Dem leaders emerging that will challenge the BS in a way that will appeal to independents and voters beyond the hard core Dem base. The two best are Rahm Emmanuel in the House (a former political strategist in the Clinton White House) who chairs the House Dem Campaign Committee and Barak Obama in the Senate.
The coming six weeks will be interesting. Unfortunately, we will be bombarded with negative ads on both sides, a sad commentary on the state of politics today.
