FOX News Commentator: Is Bill Clinton The October Surprise?

[wyldwolf]

FOX News commentator Susan Estrich says her news channel may have gotten their highest ratings since the capture of Saddam Hussein, but Bill Clinton was the winner of the showdown with her fellow commentator, Chris Wallace.

The former president won by taking control of the national dialogue on the war on terrorism, such that he has everyone comparing President Bush's pre-9/11 record on hunting down Osama with his own, and in the process undercutting the Bush administration's claimed strength (the only one left) at fighting terror...

But the big winners, in the long run, may prove to be the Democrats, who were looking for a leader to get in front of the midterm parade and energize the base, rally the troops and provide the momentum for the final weeks of the campaign.

Like him or hate him (I like him), there's no one on the scene quite like the former president. By one appearance on a news show that is otherwise rated behind its competitors, he changes the way the debate over the war on terror is conducted. One appearance, on Fox News, his first time on "Fox News Sunday." And he has everyone talking. Coming on the eve of a national intelligence estimate finding that the war in Iraq is increasing the dangers of terrorism, and on the heels of the revolt in the Senate on the detainees bill, Clinton's popping up at center stage has put this president (Bush) on the defensive on what has been the only issue where Republicans still hold an advantage over Democrats.

Is Clinton the October surprise?

Big Dog just unleashed us

4. Susan Estrich is a soul-less, ambitious, attention-seeking shill

that is just *this* close to being Dick Morris in a skirt. Why she is allowed to speak for Democrats is beyond my comprehension. She is a concrete indication of our Party's death wish. I cannot abide her. We let people like her speak for us ANYWHERE at our own peril.
