It's just true
These two are indistiguishable. Mama's boys, dodged Vietnam, didn't inhale/snort, manipulative speakers, party animal daughters, a drone for a vice president, free-traders and welfare busters, stupid hair, shit-eating grin, bumpkins, incapable of admitting errors, etc. etc.
They are representative of a particular type, the baby boomer college crowd, who stomped on tradition and real service, and are thoroughgoing radicals with a poor understanding of history and an anti-Copernican self-centeredness.

Are you now daft?
A messiah-complex trumps every manner of sexual infantilism, big hair or the normal neurotic list which accompanies immersion in Murican culture. This nutcase, with 90% of the Rapturin-Out folks as got him in - "answers only to [what he imagines to be Their] 'God'"; no slightest concept of what a 'Constitution' might mean. No sense of duty to its content. Remember? -Crusade-
That aberration *alone* makes the scale of Shrub's monstrousness FAR MORE DANGEROUS to the continuing non-use of nukes in the world, than the hundreds of things which Clinton might ? have done: but. never. Did.
The intelligence/character aspect is just as bad;
I don't give a shit about how cleverly he plays the folksy card - and how compelling that is proven to be, to the vacant - Shrub's execrable absence of interest in (thus knowledge of) history, and of how the non-rich actually live, means that he can next go off on any cockamamie tangent as might seem capable of diverting attention; and saving his sinecure. He has demonstrated how much he will dissemble ex post facto. How many examples would you need?
[Now tell me again about Clinton's 'silver spoon', that it was his $$ and 'family connections' which got him a Rhodes stipend.]
You may dislike both for their being polar opposites to (your image of) Stonewall Jackson or Audie Murphy - but that does not make them alike or in any way equivalent.
That's plain fucking Language Murder, closely akin to Jesuit simplification right on down to meaninglessness.

Rote memorization, obviously. No comprehension / no use.

In the depraved Murican sense of 'Hero'-worship
as seen on Tee Vee Selling Stuff -
Anyone with a demonstrated ability to complete first a sentence, then a paragraph, then sum-up an actual train of *thought* possessed of a premise, a middle and a closing
..and remember from whence he began, accurately:
WOULD be a 'Hero', for rarity alone.
IF.. Bin-L hadn't left that rocketed-site a tad early.. -???-
The entire world would be different. There'd Be No Shrub (known outside of 100%-Death Row in the Wastelands of Texas, agonizin about, Did Daddy Really Like Me Best?
At least this 'Hero' knew Who The Fuck bin-L WAS..
Hint: not just an [oil] buddy to invite to the farmily compound, while lookin fer new side-bizness.

Sorry Ashton...
But by that definition, Ronald Reagan would have to be "great" as well...
Not trying to pick a fight, but you were the one waxing on about over-simplification, no?
Did I mention that I hate election years?
Just a few thoughts,

Engl-Lit Hero - yes!.. (well.. in *that* milieu)
(But expressing an idea in a complete sentence has zippo to do with the veracity or usefulness of said idea ;-)
But then.. if Billy, Trump are heroes -?- WTF does 'Hero' mean in '04, anyway?
ie
What's the meaning of 'is'?
See!? - - - Clinton was merely Prescient [too!]
..while dealing with the required bafflegab of The Law, as forces such inanities upon the victim-in-stocks, (about to be railroaded for a non-crime 'twixt two-Murican-adult-children cha cha cha) == pro forma.
In the final analysis, everything is related to everything else
