I wish to make an addendum/correction to my
previous post on this topic. A column in by David
Ignatius in this morning's Washington Post makes
the point that it was not so much the Republicans
in Congress that Clinton was afraid of as it was
protectionist Democrats. And apparently the demands
involved mostly textile industry protectionism, not so
much the steel industry, which is much more hard hit
right now, of course.
Guess Bill figures he owes those folks on
impeachment. Ugh, a weakened president....
