The Clintons: History repeats itself: first, trouser-dropping farce; then, pantsuited zombie horror.

Mark Steyn celebrated Hillary Clinton's coming out party last week by reprieving some of his columns about the Clintons written in the 1990s. Here is one excerpt:
For anyone who still cares, there are two versions of events. Either Hill is Bill's co-conspirator and, in the furtherance of their own ambitions, they used the Democratic Party the way Bill uses women. Or there's this book's version, in which she's the last person on the planet still willing to believe Bill's version of events - not the smart, savvy operator her fans claim but such a poor judge of character, who'd want her as president?

But time and again the Clintons have survived setbacks that would have clobbered lesser politicians. And the more one reads between the unreadable lines of this book the more one begins to wonder if using gregarious Bill as the advance man for chilly Hilly's own ambitions wasn't all part of the plan. I can see her running, and I can see her narrowly winning. History repeats itself: first, trouser-dropping farce; then, pantsuited zombie horror.
