A Republican Prepares to Deconstruct Clinton
AND FINALLY...
A college class devoted to Bill Clinton’s presidency will be offered in his native state next year, and a Republican will teach it.
University of Arkansas at Little Rock political science professor Margaret Scranton is developing the curriculum and will teach the class, set to serve as the prototype for the planned Clinton School of Public Service at the Clinton Presidential Library. It will begin in January.
“The Clinton Presidency” will touch on the achievements and travails of Clinton’s political life--and the scandals and controversies that dogged his private life.
“As a Republican, it pains me to say we’re talking about one of the most effective campaigners that the country has ever seen,” Scranton said.
She hopes to attract guest speakers such as Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich.
