I don't even recognize Bill Clinton anymore. He is scaring me. Have they lobotomized him? I just saw him on Letterman and he sounds like a member of the Bush family.

Geez.

2. I still say he's playing "nicey-nice" with the *s in some sort of "deal"
so that they won't rip Hillary, should she decide to run.

3. He almost choked on his water when Letterman asked about the DSM.
He had to do some fast paddling to continue the conversation past it, and he changed the subject to North Korea very fast.

I have a feeling, playing it over and over (I DVR'ed it) that he knows a lot about this and cannot talk about it.

And we all know, Clinton is not always forthcoming.

4. Perhaps you're just seeing him with fresh eyes
I didn't notice that much difference in him. He's NOT that liberal, ya know?

5. Well I didn't see Letterman so maybe he's worse now but...
...the Big Dawg's always had repuke tendencies. I only ever defended him because the things the pukes would attack him for were utterly absurd but to think that Billy boy is a true Liberal is just wrong in my opinion. If Dennis Kucinich were on Letterman sounding like Shrub then I'd start to worry but Clinton for the most part has only really ever stood for what would help him politically.

8. Maybe.
I know when he was Governor of Arkansas and I was angry that he sucked up to Wal-Mart and Tyson all the time I was somewhat pissed, but in the end he came through for Arkansas. I can tell you that the State of Arkansas has wonderful benefits for its workers.
Nobody else in the private sector even comes close.
And Wal-Mart, for all its bad press, really isn't that bad, either. They actually bring benefits to people where none existed before. The Mom and Pop stores they put out of business didn't have insurance and sick leave for their help, for example.

So, maybe I'm wrong.

I think Clinton is part of something bigger than we realize, and maybe he is being close to the Bushes for a good reason.

I have no choice in the matter and must hope for the best.

I still think he should have hung onto Betsey Wright.

10. Uhm, Clinton supported the Iraq War...
He repeatedly said it was the right thing to do, from the beginning.

What do you expect.

11. Clinton is on the damn thing and always has been.
Just go ahead and listen to Mike Malloy lay it all out in the front.

12. Clinton has to be supportive. He doesn't want to give life to anything
that could threaten peace in Iraq. Like many, he sees that we have no choice at this point. I saw him interviewed before on the matter and he said that he was for the war, but against pulling the inspectors out before they had finished looking for WMD. Then he said that he had to be completely supportive of the War now that it has happened. And that Iraq had to have a democracy that works and he expected it to take years.

I think Clinton feels a certain amount of guilt about 9/11. It was obviously planned on his watch.

I think it was Larry King I saw him on when he said all this!
