Virtuous blowhard and the outrage over Bill Clinton
The piece mocks William Bennett and his book The Death of Outrage while defending Clinton’s presidency. It contrasts public outrage targets with real fiscal and defense misdirections, highlights the Center for Public Integrity report on congressional money, and notes the public’s restraint in attacking private life versus public policy. It ends with a quip linking outrage to personal taste.
