Re: Where you went wrong

Dear Bill:

Yeah, it's really me.

Don't think that just because I departed I stopped following politics. It was in my blood you know, just like it's in yours.

Talk about your dips in popularity. That XFL thing has more fans than you do right now. At least when I left, everybody already hated me; they did a complete 180 on you as soon you left the Big House. Weird, huh?

But then, maybe not so weird. Yes, they pretended to like you but only because they considered the alternative, which was Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole. No contest, at least from their point of view. Things sauntered along for a while, until she showed up.

Remember that week after it broke? No one but no one was speaking out for you. Even George Stephanopoulos, your best bud
