Sigh...

I just watched a clip from an interview with Bill Clinton, about the London attacks and the ongoing War on Terror.

It was just depressing. He was stating his opinions, reeling of stats and lists, just like that. He had instant gravitas that demanded respect.

The world would be a very different place if there was someone like him in the White House.

Dammit, so long as he could keep his dick in his pants and his money where it was legal, that guy was an excellent statesman.

(I heard that only two US former-presidents have ever taken advantage of the right of an ex-president to receive daily CIA security briefings, Bush I, and Clinton. And of course, Bush I used to be the head of the CIA during the Reagan era, so it's hardly surprising in his case.)
