Catherine and I watched Chris Wallace’s interview of President Clinton together on Sunday morning.  My infant daughter is mesmerized by our former leader!  I was trying to nurse Catherine and provide her with life-sustaining nourishment, but she kept craning her neck to see the television.  Her eyes were glued to Clinton’s white hair and even whiter legs that snuck out between his pant legs and socks (shouldn’t some handler have been giving him the “pull down your pants” sign … and not in the way he might assume?).  Clinton’s reputation for projecting overwhelming charisma holds true with Moore offspring.
My daughter has had this reaction to only one other politician — Rep. Barney Frank.  I have C-Span on quite a bit, and Catherine cannot focus on anything else when the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts is speaking.  He does have a lilting, good at reciting nursery rhymes effect to his voice.

I am struggling to determine the common links between these two men that have such a strong effect on Catherine.  They are both Democrats.   Ummm ….. well, let’s see … what else?  I’ve seen them both wear glasses, but I don’t think poor eyesight is the connection.  They both like the company of young women … wait, that’s not it.  I’m at a loss.  What am I missing here?
