I have watched the dignity of the presidency decline drastically and distressingly over the years. For my part, I mark a milestone, if not the beginning of that decline to the Wm Jefferson Clinton going to MTV and the “boxers or briefs” question. At that time, I remember thinking who would EVER ask a president of the United States about his underwear — how very far we have fallen since then!! ;o( The era of the celebrity presidency is here, no doubt.

Well said. Great to hear from you, Tom.
