Bubba, Don’t Sista Souljah Us (Jane Hamsher, firedoglake)

Excerpt:
. . .

I don't know if Bill quite understands that much of the netroots hostility the Clintons generate is the result of his trashing of Ned Lamont on Larry King. Nobody really doubts that he saved Lieberman in order to protect Hillary's war voting record and keep the heat off of her. Perhaps he doesn't even care. But the fact is that Hillary has yet to take a real leadership position in challenging this president — has she ever really challenged this administration on its abuse of power in a meaningful way? We saw how pissy the Boy King became today when Nancy Pelosi got under his skin. He clearly doesn't like it when women publicly spank him. If Hillary ever chose to do likewise, I'm sure we'd hear about it.

In additon, her continued statements about "maintaining a military presence" in Iraq, or showing up at an AIPAC luncheon to say things like this …

"U.S. policy must be clear and unequivocal: We cannot, we should not, we must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons. In dealing with this threat … no option can be taken off the table."

…make people who don't like the prospect of war with Iran feel really, really hinky.

But it does raise the question — who exactly is Bill trying to cozy up to with these comments? Was this some kind of dog whistle signal to specific donors before the filing deadline to help his boy Terry McCaulliff rake in some key sector of cash?

Bush I...John Major...Maggie Thatcher - all members

2. And he told you this WHEN?

You have his personal written notes? He whispered in your ear? It's amazing to be so privy to the private desires of..........dare I say it......a total stranger?

[Taverner]

4. No - total conjecture

But a conjecture based on observation of his post Presidency activities

Don't get me wrong, I think he was a great president. But he's also a shrewd businessman.
