So Bush and Clinton must be in this together, right? So Bush must be pretty upset at someone. If Clinton blocks Kerry then George gets a free ride for four more years, but this nasty bit stuff makes Bill look bad, so that helps Kerry run against Bush. Helping Kerry can't be good for Bush, so the obsessionists are running apparently against everyone which makes sense to them and the other anarchists.
I hesitate to call them anarchists though, that presumes that they have actual thoughts regarding their statements and actions, when what I think they need is therapeutic psychology treatments. About a year's worth.
Maybe two.

Your non points about Ken Starr have been gone over here previously, and pretty thoroughly.
The thing about Slick and the Bush family isn't really that complicated if you study it. Conservatives view it as an incestuous relationship and are thoroughly pissed off over it:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- With old political grudges left unmentioned, former President Clinton returned to the White House for the first time Monday and listened with delight as President Bush praised him for his knowledge, compassion and "the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president."
Not quite enough for most of them to vote against W., but close.
In my view, it seems likely that the Bush family views Slick as a former employee of some sort gone slightly bad; a prodigal son if you will.
This dates back to the Mena airport operation. Basically, Ronald Reagan, in sharp contrast to RFK, LBJ, and Nixon who tried to play geopolitical games with vast sums of national treasure and millions of draftees, wished to play a geopolitical game under rational rules i.e. with a few handsfull of professional soldiers of fortune and petty cash, and the fricking democrats refused to let him even have the petty cash. The purpose, eliminating commie regimes in central America was a noble one as the world observed the first time Nicaraguans ever had a real vote and heaved the child molester Daniel Ortega and his outlaw crew by overwhelming margins, to the utter chagrin of democrats.
And so, Reagan obviously told George H.W. Bush and Ollie North to procure the petty cash by whatever means they had to and keep whatever they had to do to accomplish it to themselves, and they did. This was while Slick was governor of Arkansas, the Mena airport operation was the largest drug operation ever to operate in America, and a sort of a two way trade with cocaine moving North and weapons and munitions moving south was being conducted from that same airport.
I would claim that nobody should need to be Albert Einstein to comprehend how the system worked.
Moreover, I would excuse George W. Bush from any blame in any of that for that simple reason that nobody chooses his own parents in this life. All any man can ever try to do in this world is play the hand he is dealt as well as possible, and George W. Bush has pretty much done that.
The ultimate blame in the picture falls on the demmunists, for seeking to aid and abbet communist regimes in central America as if that were a good thing.
I speak Russian well enough to have asked any number of Russians what life was like under communism and in particular, when speaking with Russians old enough that their parents lived under the tsars, to have asked whether life under the tsars or under the commies was worse 'Zhizn buila xhuzho pod tsaryami ili pod kommunistami?' or some such, and the answer always comes back the same, i.e. that life under the tsars was so bad that it appeared inconceivable it could get worse, but that after twelve or fifteen years of commie rule, people were referring to tsarist times as the good old days.
There is no way in the ****ing world that democrats were ever doing anybody in central or south America any favors by supporting such regimes.
