Bill Clinton says we need to take the private profit out of student loans. But he doesn’t see the importance of doing so with health care.

I was on a panel in 2007 with Joe Lockhart and Todd Purdam to talk about political news. We talked a lot about how the press’ insistence on covering the Lewinsky scandal–when the bulk of the country was pretty happy with the President regardless of who had given him a blow job–led to the crisis of legitimacy that let blogs arise.

Would Congress have spent the last eight years lying to Congress to hide Dick Cheney’s torture chambers if Bill Clinton had not “looked forward” but instead pursued Iran-Contra fully?

Lichtblau and Risen have their quarterly report about how our government is illegal surveilling Americans.

The press is agog that Hillary and Richard Mellon Scaife made nice last week. But that peace-making follows five months after an earlier one between Bill Clinton and Richard Mellon Scaife. I’m not sure what that means, as far as Scaife’s motives (I presume the Clintons would just like his support, or, barring that, would like him to avoid funding a bunch of wingnut bloodhounds to sniff their panties and boxers). But it does suggest the thaw is much more than a one-off thing.
