clintonesque

Having Clinton-like qualities. In matters of speech, to parse the English language so painfully at a direct question as to avoid responsibility for your own actions. In matters of conduct, to be more interested in #1, instead of the greater good.

His actions as well as speech are rather clintonesque.

school of hard knocks

Life itself; knowledge (and wisdom) gained by working for it, and not necessarily from a book.

You can learn more common sense from the school of hard knocks, than from most any university.
