CHANGING THE TONE….OR AT LEAST THE SHEETS, ANYWAY….You know, I always thought the “scandal” about Bill Clinton inviting supporters to spend a night in the Lincoln Bedroom was a crock. Who cares? Political supporters of all stripes get special treatment from politicians of both parties and always have.
Still, it was talked to death by the Republican Talking Points Death Squad in the 90s, and the Bush campaign did make it into an issue four years ago:
During the 2000 presidential campaign, George W. Bush sanctimoniously accused Clinton of “virtually renting out the Lincoln bedroom to big campaign donors.” He condemned the use of the “hallowed” chamber for political payoffs.
Sigh. You know where this story is going already, don’t you? CrockMeister has the sordid details.
