To ABC News:

I understand that Bill Clinton was also at some point a "lame duck," in that he, too, was elected to a second and final four-year term. However, President Clinton was only a lame duck in a narrow, technical, factual sense, where Presiden Bush is a lame duck in a broad, ideological sense. While we must be fair, we musn't allow electoral similarities to push us into a false equivalence.
