The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

Ex-President Bill Clinton revealed for all to hear today that the "vast right-wing conspiracy"--a term coined by his wife while he and she were its primary targets, is alive and well today.

I don't get it. George Bush the Younger governed for eight years in the face of virulent opposition, which often included the "mainstream" media. Yet there was no "vast left-wing conspiracy" either claimed by the right or left during that time. It was what we have always known as "opposition politics".

How come when the left is in power, there's a conspiracy at work?

Usually "conspiracy theorist" on a resume is a disqualifier for any meaningful form of employment, right alongside its less formal description, "whacko".

It is disappointing that a Rhodes Scholar former President is resorting to such measures. Of course, he probably has to do whatever Sec State tells him lest she take him to the cleaners for that incident where that blue dress wasn't taken to the cleaners.
