As I see it, I can draw a lot of similarities between Roh and Clinton, not least of which are they have both been impeached and extremely crappy presidents. But the larger question is, how will this leader be remembered in a historical perspective? I suspect similarly to how Snake-Oil Salesmen Willie (Pres. Clinton) is being remembered, as a complete embarrassment to his country, and any post-presidential opinions he conveys completely ignored or summarily dismissed.

In regards to the Uri party, I don’t think any attempt it makes now to become more mainstream and representative of the people will make any difference in the coming election. They have made their bed, now it’s time to sleep in it, now matter how uncomfortable it is for them — the Democrats got use to it eventually too.
