[UA] Thomas Jefferson as Clinton proxy?

[holycrow at mindspring.com]

I'd say this is "proxy-ish" but more like a tilt.  Symbolically, you clothe yourself in the garb of your historical antecedent in order to absorb some of his qualities.  It's like cannibalism: I dress up like Elvis and I sing better.  I walk the route of Jack the Ripper and his notorious "uncatchability" clings to me like a sour aroma.  

Cliomancy (I'd think) just makes this stronger with random magick.  People look at me and think "Oh, he can't have done it because he's uncatchable like Jack the Ripper" which gives them a profoundly uncomfortable sense of doublethink and causes them to abandon me as a lead.
