Can this be right?

Fineman says (among other things):

"Texas Gov. George W. Bush arrived on the national scene in the 1990s intent on dictating the terms of dealing with the AMMP — or simply ignoring it altogether."

As I recall, Clinton tried a similiar tactic in the first two years of his first administration. He thought he could bypass (to some degree) the MSM and use the internet to go directly to the public. In retrospect, this was a pretty ballsy move. Clinton got 'em caught in a ringer and ended up courting the MSM as had all of his predecessors. Perhaps the public wasn't ready for it, but just as likely a cause is that the internet wasn't ready for it.

I have always been ashamed of the Clinton Administration(s). I have always felt that Clinton had "no balls". Perhaps his 8 years in the White House would have suited me better if the MSM had not chopped 'em off in his first 2 years as President.
