Duke Prof: “It’s almost as though there was a part of Bill Clinton that he had no control over.”

In February, PBS will air “Clinton.” The Politico story about the show includes this take from a Duke professor of history. I can’t tell for sure from the story, but the quote seems to come from the documentary.

“It’s almost as though there was a part of Bill Clinton that he had no control over,” said William Chafe, a history professor at Duke University. “That whenever it had the opportunity to come out, it was going to come out and with no forethought, with no calculation, with no sense of the consequences; it was simply going to happen. And that’s terrifying.”
