Um...actually, Clinton was a prissy draft dodger. He avoided the draft just as Bush did, though definitely with more panache.
I think Clinton was a much better politician and statesman (however you choose to interpret those things) than Bush. As is easily seen, I think Bush is a thick-witted kid who's ridden on the family fortune to office.
But that doesn't make Clinton any more respectable, despite his obvious talents.
I voted for Clinton but I still think he should have been impeached in a heartbeat for perjury. No matter how you slice it, he lied and the fact that the American public accepted it still pisses me off. His sex life was his own business, but lying under oath while president was a crime.
