Really. Well, you must be right. Ok then. I guess Bill and Hillary have been HELPING Kerry all this time, right? They're loyal to the party, hate Bush, right?

This isn't zero-sum.
Their lack of help doesn't prove the opposite.
And their hands are not in all things at all times.

The Clintons were never good at scandals. They got caught every time. The only thing they were good at is escaping punishment, but that's only because of their friends who protected them to their own detriment.

A setup this elaborate, this meticulously planned and executed is far beyond these bumbling Arkanas bumpkins.

And as far as their 'help' or lack thereof, it's hard to tell the difference between the Clintons' legitimate 'help' and sabotage these days.
Remember McBride in Florida?
Remember all the other Demcrats they campaigned for in 2002?
Their 'help' did more harm than good for the Democrats.

The best help the Clintons could give is to stay far, far away, and that is what they've been doing.

" A setup this elaborate, this meticulously planned and executed is far beyond these bumbling Arkanas bumpkins."

I'm really surprised you rate these Arkanas bumpkins this low. I don't. Let me be more specific. I don't rate their native ability very high. I rate their creativity, in response to their nearly infinite lust for power, very high. It's this lust that makes these two utterly atypical compared to, say .... John Kerry. Kerry is typical.

My point is that it is NOT that elaborate or meticulously planned. It didn't need to be. Additional validation for this will come forward following the answers to these two questions: will CBS can Dan Rather and will we ever know who gave Dan the docs?

No. and No. Dan will retire, but not for awhile. We'll never hear who gave him those docs. We'll never hear how the USA Today got them (forwarded from CBS, btw).

Just like we'll never know how the soponeaed white water docs somehow 'appeared' on the table and we're discovered by .... anyone, anyone?

The fact this blow up over 4 memos is so, ahem, huge, points directly to a very familiar modus operandi. Come on now ... does this not smack of Filegate, troopergate, Monica, Rich, ad nauseum?

In the end, long before Nov. 2, it will blow over, but the damage, to whom?, will be complete.
