Did the Lewinsky debacle handicap Clinton in foreign policy?  Undoubtedly so.  The attacks on Sudan and Afghanistan in retaliation for the Embassy bombings, the highly effective Desert Fox operation in Iraq, and the entire Kosovo intervention were labeled "Wag the Dog" efforts by the media and the GOP.

Does this equal what the OP's saying?  Not so much.  There were some tragicomic failures at fighting Osama bin Laden (does anyone remember in 199...8ish when the NSA successfully wiretapped bin Laden's cell phone, then bragged about it and caused bin Laden to stop using said cell phone?), and even though the entire government wasted the entire years of 1998-9 debating stains on dresses and cigars, I don't things would've turned out that differently.

I've said many, many dumb things drunk.  I'm not sure if I've ever blamed a politician I didn't like for 9/11, though.

Ron Paul's new ads about Gingrich are pretty stunning.

Yeah, Romney as nominee pretty much guarantees a highly competitive general.

I'm beginning to suspect that Politico likes Mitt Romney more than Mitt Romney likes Mitt Romney.
