Have fun FReepers!
As fun as it is, would it not make more strategic sense to just ignore the man? Just don't pay attention to him and soon he will begin to look increasingly like Jimmy Carter. Vainly and frutilessly trying to rescue his legacy as age and history write off his meaningless "accomplishments".
By continuing to attack him from the right, he will always be able to rally those from the left. This is exactly what he wants. To ignore him is his greatest fear.
As a New York freeper I agree and have shared my feelings on this with the NY chapter. : )
Of course, you remember Bubba Clintoon is always so punctual.
Perhaps in tribute to President Ronald Reagan a discussion should be had on ignoring this drivel totally by freepers....
I just see no good out of protesting this book tour with the election coming up, I think it would make us look bad.
However, consider THESE risks [to the Kerry campaign] identified by folks at the Old Gray Lady:
Are these not results that we should wish to encourage?Clinton Planning to Use Book Tour to Assist Kerry

Clinton Planning to Use Book Tour to Assist Kerry
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
s former President Bill Clinton prepares for a barrage of publicity and a cross-country tour to promote his memoirs, his political advisers are consulting with the Democratic Party and Senator John Kerry's campaign about ways that Mr. Clinton can lend a political hand in the process.
Mr. Clinton received an advance of more than $10 million to write his memoirs, "My Life," and aides to the former president say his first priority now is to sell as many books as possible.
But they also say that whenever his book-selling obligations allow, Mr. Clinton is eager to pitch in for the party by plugging Mr. Kerry and subtly putting down Republicans at book-selling events, and by speaking at fund-raisers or campaign stops on his tour.
He is also going out of his way not to overshadow Mr. Kerry.
For example, Democratic Party officials said Mr. Clinton was scheduled to speak on the first night of the party's convention in Boston, but executives of Knopf, which is publishing "My Life," said that to keep the spotlight on Mr. Kerry, he did not plan to hold a book signing or other event while in town.
"He wants to make sure that there is no way that anything he does is competing with or intruding on the attention paid to Senator Kerry," Steve Richetti, Mr. Clinton's top political adviser, said. "We have met with the campaign so that they can be aware of what we are doing and where we are going. He wants to be helpful in any way that he is asked. He knows John Kerry and he likes him a lot and thinks he would be a great president. At book events, I think he will be asked about and he will be able to talk about John Kerry in a very thoughtful and compelling way."
Mr. Clinton's efforts to help Mr. Kerry are fraught with risks, Democratic strategists say, including the danger of arousing the legions of Clinton-haters, the possibility of upstaging the candidate himself, and campaign finance rules restricting publicity expenditures around an election. For months, Democratic strategists have worried that if Mr. Clinton's book appeared too close to the election, he could hog the limelight and upstage Mr. Kerry. In the last election, Vice President Al Gore sought to distance himself from Mr. Clinton on the campaign trail rather than risk association with the scandals surrounding his administration.
Christine Iversen, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, argued that Mr. Clinton's popularity would prove as much of a liability for Mr. Kerry as an asset...

I watched the service on CSPAN to avoid the inane commentary and caught this too. And the Bubba wonders why he wasn't invited to speak....

I'll not give Clinton a free pass on this tour. I hope others will get out there, too.
I tend to agree about passing on this.
We don't need to make Clinton any more relevent than he is trying to make himself.
Clinton desperately wants to be in the spot light. He ought to be Jimmy Cartered.
Then you and everyone else who agrees with that can stay home. The D.C. Chapter will be out there doing what we always do.
I agree with you, Kristinn. We need to shine the light whenever possible. We haven't seen the last of these people politically.
