Who is "They?"

Andrew Sullivan writes:
Bill Clinton is campaigning for himself as well right now, his own future power. He'll be in a Clinton White House, ready from Day One. And if they get there for a third term, the marital psychodrama they inflicted on us for eight long years will be with us once again. [emphasis mine]

Who is this "They" of which Andrew Sullivan speaks?

The people who inflicted the Clintons' "marital psychodrama" on America were, well, you, Andrew. You and rest of your beloved Conservative "movement" spent six years persecuting, indicting, and finally impeaching Bill Clinton's penis. But that wasn't enough. Hillary Clinton's failure to react to her husband's infidelity with Conservative-approved levels of outrage fanned the ire of your "movement" -- and only your "movement." If you remember, Clinton's approval rating during the impeachment crisis your Conservative "movement" inflicted on America was 60+%.

Last week, momentarily chastened by your comeuppance in New Hampshire, you expresseed concern about "the tone" of your criticism of Hillary Clinton, and promising to be more "temperate" in your criticsm of her. Your use of surrogates, in the form of reader emails, in the interim to continue your intemperate criticism has been too cute by half. ("Histrionics" .. ."Smack the shit out of the Clinton adviser" ...."the Steinems want Big Brother"..."Hillary is slime"...etc.)

The Clintons are famous for using surrogates to do the dirty work of their campaigns. Perhaps your irrational hatred of Hillary and Bill Clinton stems from the fact that you are just like them.
