While New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has virtually gone into hiding - as have many other Democrats - regarding whether or not Terri Schiavo should be starved to death, ex-President Bill Clinton was reportedly was "egging on" one of Hillary's colleagues to support federal intervention to rescue Schiavo.
Reports CBS's Dottie Lynch:
"[Sen. Tom Harkin] forged the coalition with Republicans Frist, Santorum, Martinez and, according to two sources, had the support of former President Clinton for his actions. While Mr. Clinton apparently didn't talk to Harkin until after the vote, one source described Mr. Clinton as 'egging him on.'"
It wouldn't be the first time Bill Clinton urged fellow Democrats to side with conservatives on traditional values issues.
During the presidential campaign, the triangulator-in-chief advised Sen. John Kerry to find a way to support at least a few of gay marriage bans that were on the ballot on eleven states.
Kerry rejected the advice and lost the election.
So why hasn't Mr. Clinton exhorted Mrs. Clinton to join Harkin in the bid to save Schiavo? "He probably did," one longtime Clinton watcher opined to NewsMax. "And it looks like she turned him down."
I guess you and I didn't forget and likely never will. I recall that chilled me to the core.
....hummm....wonder if he took a "poll" first....
This is nothing more than a guy who is still trying to build a legacy.
Come on, Bill. Fake a few tears for the camera.
I can't wait to see what happens when Osama Bin Laden comes out on Al Jazeera with a video tape, talking about how what America is doing to Terri is wrong...
It will be interesting to watch teh reactions around here.
I thought it was just bent!
Look where Clinton has been lately, and look at the Harpy that is just a ichin' to pull his tube (and not the way he'd like).
Maybe Bill Clinton has been thinking about his own mortality thanks to his own recent health concerns. For his sake, I hope he hasn't left Hillary as his power of attorney. Better off with Chelsea.
Very well said.
Has anyone actually seen Clinton since his last heart procedure I have not seen any photos or interview with him. Somehow I feel he may not be a well as he wants us to think he is.
I seriously doubt whether Clinton is well enough to speak in public

A-1 Americans, too.
Oh yes let's throw some more on Jeb Bush and praise Jesse Jackson again. I hope when this is all said and done that you Republicans will sit down and look at what the long term ramifications would have been if the national government or state executive would have gotten involved.
