From a reader:
Right on! Every time I begin to worry that the significant risk of Obama becoming President might be too much to keep hoping he’ll finish off the Clinton era, they have a day like today. So far today, Bill has essentially blamed the Israelis for the lack of Middle East peace – in an aside from a genuinely ridiculous comment about how he’d take Hillary into the foxhole (saying that if Rabin were alive, there would be Middle East peace) – he took a phone call from Hillary during the campaign and told her he loves her, they made these comments about the dog, and then there was what a good friend of mine termed “the crying game”. Whether it’s because the Democrats think Obama can win the general or because they are truly inspired or just because a different generation is taking control of their party, it’s nice to see them saying “Enough already!” about the Clintons finally. Of course, I still think of that old Saturday Night Live skit with Gingrich and Ken Starr and Bob Livingstone sitting in the bar saying “What the hell happened?” Maybe they can add a part where Bill walks in and says the same thing.
You know, that’s a good point about Rabin and peace in the Middle East. Clinton’s in effect saying if only Israel had followed the policies Rabin would have followed Hamas, Hezbollah and the rest of that misunderstood gang would have gladly made peace with Israel. That’s really gross when you think about it.
