Primary Colors was on the other day, and I hadn't watched the whole thing since I first saw it in the theater. I was struck again at how perfectly the movie (and the book) capture the essence of Bill Clinton: an almost principle-free rogue who's so damned charming you just can't help but love him.

I knew he was responsible for the Glass-Steagall repeal, but the Republicans aren't exactly covered with glory here, either. They've had control for nearly the past eight years, and they've done everything they can to help big business at the expense of the little guy.
