Legacy Jealousy

Bill Clinton's spokesman Jay Carson sounded pretty miffed in this statement to Vanity Fair for their unflattering article about Clinton's post-White House affairs. (Carol linked below). Here's what Jay said:

“The ills of the Democratic Party can be seen perfectly in the willingness of fellow Democrats to say bad things about President Clinton. If you ask any Republican about Reagan they will say he still makes the sun rise in the morning, but if you ask Democrats about their only two-term president in 80 years, a man who took the party from the wilderness of loserdom to the White House and created the strongest economy in American history, they’d rather be quoted saying what a reporter wants to hear than protect a strong brand for the party. Republicans look at this behavior and laugh at us.”
