No, I was referring to the various times Clinton operatives treated Paula Jones et al.. As I recall one quote, it was Carville referring to her as trailer trash or something similar.
My impression is that politics got nastier most noticeably during the Bork hearings. It probably does no good to argue about who started it, but I don’t recall a lot of discussion from the Reagan camp about Gerry Ferraro’s drug dealer son, or her husband defrauding his clients. Or even Chappaquidick.
