Is Clinton Off-Limits Now?

After Foley, New Fears For the GOP

Now that Republicans have an even bigger scandal with Foley, is Clinton permanently off the hook? The time to stop talking about how Bill Clinton screwed up the whole world with Monica has long since past, but Republicans still mention him whenever they need to deflect criticism from themselves.

"Haven't gotten bin Laden? Must be Clinton's fault!"

"Corruption in government? Let's just remember Clinton!"

"Americans dying in Iraq? Don't forget Clinton's penis!"

Now, every time Clinton's penis is interjected, we may very well be reminded of the "over-friendly" Foley and the Republicans' failure to do anything about it. Does that mean they all have to shift to finding another culprit?

This week has been the first time I've seen the Republicans truly on the defensive about everything. Iraq sucks, Condi wasn't paying attention to Tenet/Woodward's new book, the Clinton smack-down on Fox News, and now Foley?
