Bill Clinton 'pulling' for Craig
CNN ^ | 9/5/07

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Embattled Sen. Larry Craig was one of Bill Clinton's fiercest critics during the Senate’s 1999 impeachment trial, but the former president told CNN's Larry King Wednesday he takes no pleasure in the Idaho Republican's current situation and is "pulling" for Craig and his family.

"Honestly, didn't feel any great joy," Clinton said in an interview to air tonight at 9 p.m. ET. "When it was going on I knew that a lot of them were outed for hypocrisy before this."

Clinton added, "One of the things I did to get through that was to think hard about times in my past when I had judged people too harshly because they had a problem I didn't have. And I promised myself I'd never do that again, and I'm trying to keep that promise."

Craig was arrested in a restroom in June at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on suspicion of making sexual advances to an undercover police officer in the next stall. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in August, but denies he was engaging in lewd behavior. Clinton offered a sympathetic perspective on the situation.

What exactly is Clinton pulling for Craig? Yikes.

If Bill Clinton is pulling for someone, then it is all the reason for conservatvies to take the opposite direction.

With Clinton’s history, he still comes up with bombs like this. The strange thing is that he gets away with it. There isn’t another human in history that has gotten away with more, considering what people know about him.

it is time for republicans to start dropping comments about clinton’s past
indiscretions. begala, carville and clinton are dropping vitter’s name
every chance they get. and they get a lot of chances. there seems to be
no republican response. there seems to be no effort to go after
the dems, particularly bill, hillary or sandy burglar.

Of course Clinton is all for dragging this out - the longer the story stays in the media, the better it is for the Democrats, including the 'Toons.

"More Headlines!" screamed Billy. And the fellow travelers obliged.

I was remembering one whose punchline is “the 50th brick from the other joke”

As other posters have alluded:

That is where Craig got in trouble in the first place... Wanting other guys to pull for him.

Bill... I didn’t think he was your type!!!!

Sure, let that filthy scumbag Clinton sit there as though he were a "victim" of Craig, when Clinton did things 100 times worse than Craig and sits there pontificating about it.

You wonder why I hate republicans? They allow outrages like this to occur and they won't say a word about it.

If Craig should resign, damn well Clinton should have.

Whenever either Clinton begins a sentence with honestly, that is Freudian code for I'm lying.
