That's a Bill I Don't Mind Getting

I was left with two key impressions after listening to what might be the greatest speech of Bill Clinton's political life tonight at the Democratic convention. The first is that, whatever his faults, the former President really does embody American values - imbued with almost impossibly lofty ideals yet constantly striving to meet them, generally for the benefit of America - not to mention the world. The second is that getting the Rumours-era line-up of Fleetwood Mac back together remains one of his greatest achievements. Forget dealing with a Republican-controlled Congress in 1995, the acrimony between some of the band members in 1992 was beyond even the toxic levels reached during the making of Rumours. Now, that's politics!
