At the time, then-governor Bill Clinton's execution of Ricky Ray Rector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Ray_Rector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Ray_Rector was a big deal.
- dragonwriter 11y agoIt was a big deal at the time because Clinton deliberately made it a big deal to make a political point in the Presidential campaign. But, even so, now I don't think its one of the top 20 things most people -- whether they are generally pro- or anti-Clinton -- think about when they think about Bill Clinton, so it doesn't seem to support the "this will be the thing you are known for" idea too well.
- knodi123 11y agoI hardly think you can say that's what Bill Clinton is known for. I've never heard of Ricky Ray Rector, but I have Clinton's autograph.
