Depends on what the Definition of Wrong Is

This may seem far-fetched, but in my mind at least, there's a certain train of thought that's slowly picking up steam, and it is this: Bill Clinton, either purposely or subconsciously, is trying to derail Hillary's bid for President?

I mean, look at the evidence: The man, for eight years, nearly never had a public temper tantrum -- more than almost anyone, he knows how politics works. He made a ton of mistakes in his personal life, but he did the improbable in 1992 and came out of nowhere to win the Presidential election. The man knows how to campaign.

So, why is it, then, that in the last three or four months, he has botched his wife's campaign so many times? If he were running, there's no way he makes this many mistakes. And then, yesterday, asked about the election, Bill said this:

"They got two candidates, they basically like them both, and they have different strengths," he said. "And they have to decide which skilll set is more important, number one, for the country's welfare in the long run, and which one is more likely to be elected. And you know I have my strong convictions, but I might be wrong."

I don't know about you, but for the thousands of Bill Clinton hanger-ons like I myself was until just a couple of months ago, this right here is tacit permission -- he's damn near giving us his blessing to vote for Barack. Hell, that's an endorsement, folks!
