To the FBI's dismay, the White House trumpeted it to the world...
...nation, Clinton has called in the Great Communicator's communicator to help. Journalist David Gergen, who served Reagan as communications director and helped sell Reaganomics to the voters, will soon be trying to do the same thing for Clintonomics.
