Liberal Blog-O-Sphere: Adrianna Huffington calls Bill Clinton "Rovian"
Arianna Huffington

Will Hill Kill Bill for Lying About Iraq?

Posted December 2, 2007 | 02:08 PM (EST)

I'm hearing that Hillary is ready to kill Bill. But it has nothing to do with his roving eye -- and everything to do with his Rovian lie.

By claiming that he had "opposed Iraq from the beginning" -- when the record clearly shows otherwise -- the former president served voters a piping hot reminder that the Clintons have frequently had an on-and-off relationship with the truth.

What made Clinton's statement infinitely worse, was that it came at the very moment when Karl Rove was being pilloried for his attempt to rewrite history on Iraq, with even Andy Card, his fellow member of the White House Iraq Group, rejecting his claim that Congress had pushed Bush into war. And just as Rudy Giuliani is being challenged for his penchant for playing fast and loose with the truth.

1. Well, she does have a point here.
It was kind of stupid of President Clinton to say that in light of the facts and at such a bad time strategically. But Huffington sensationalizes the story with the references to the roving eye, Karl Rove and murder.

2. Bill is "Clintonian" and one of a kind, but I would have thought him smarter than that comment.
WTF was he thinking? Is he buying into the current admin's belief that all Amurikans are stupid and/or on a maintenance dose of Rufies?

Has Arianna come out FOR anyone in particular yet, or is she just taking pot-shots at the front-runner and her husbands big mouth and athletic penis?

3. Someone seems to have conveniently forgotten her own past

While I like Arianna, she will always have the bitter whiff of Freeper about her.
