WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton blasted Republicans Wednesday for their recent uproar over a MoveOn.org newspaper ad questioning Gen. David Petraeus' credibility, telling CNN's Anderson Cooper their "feigned outrage" was completely "disingenuous."
"This was classic bait and switch — focus on that as opposed to focusing on what's happened," the former president said.
Clinton also highlighted a string of past questionable campaign commercials targeting Democrats, and suggested Republicans are acting hypocritically.

Yet somehow Democrat Senators who unanimously voted for both Petraeus and the surge are not?
I wouldn’t call it a meltdown, just your typical spin with some false passion tossed in.
He is NOT looking healthy though. Not at all.
Hey, he "filled out" his Form 180. He just never got 'round to filing it!
Outstanding and astute assessment!
I’d love to find a video clip of that.
Huh?
What we have here is an unprecedented sitaution: a former president with a very very prominent role in a presidential election after his 'service'.
Will these two grifters ever go away and leave the nation in peace?
I wondered about that too. He was sitting in front of Chris Wallace thumping Chris on his knee, acusing him of doing a "Republican hit job" on him and totally went off on the deep end. The witch senator from NY got nothing but nerf balls thrown at her this past weekend.
He is just such a wussie. The toons love to dish it out, but just can't take the backlash. Like the saying goes, "If you are taking flack, you are over the target."
Wonder if he feels as outraged over the Rather/liberals/fraudulent Bush/National Guard story, since all the while Bill fled to another country to avoid service of his country, which, by the way, dems had no problem with and even celebrated.
Clinton was telling the truth when he wrote that he loathes the military in his letter to Colonel Eugene Holmes back in 1969. That attitude has not changed.
If Clinton thinks that the Petraeus ad and the Cleland ads are the same thing, then why does he support the Petraeus ad and attack the Cleland ads?
Carolyn
But the Dems, those are the people who ran that infamous Daisy ad.
Classic Bait & Switch. In '64, LBJ was a dove & Barry Goldwater was a mean old hawk. We all know (or should know) how that turned out.
More recently, wasn't candidate Bubba the guy who was going to lower our taxes? And the guy who promptly did an about face days after attaining the Oval Office?
typical democrat trying to bring up something ‘they think’ is equally bad, instead of condeming what is
Bush #41 lost in 1992 because he was a terrible candidate and ran a terrible campaign. He was almost as bad as Bob Dole.
Yep, good dog Billy. Soros’ check is in the mail.
Thanks for sharing this, I watched Bill Clinton speak and I saw a stupid , gossiping, bitter, lying , old man. Then I thought of what a crooked man he has been in the past, and that that he is in the present.
Good question!
Or I should say, “Brilliant!”
Ah, but we now have the CLINTONOIDS.... who have PERFECTED the Politics of Personal DESTRUCTION!!! What decent Republican person wants to put themselves thru THAT wringer?? They DESTROY people and their reputations.....politics was NEVER this DIRTY before, I don’t care what anyone says.....
