1)SlickWilly just wants in on some of the action and praise that W is getting. This is nothing more than Bill(I worship myself)Clinton getting his name in the headlines. If he was running against President Bush, Slick would be making Dean, Kerry, Edwards,etc sound like girl scouts in attacking W. The spin machine would be going wall to wall in attacks on President Bush. Don't let Slick fool you for one minute that he is standing up for Bush. Just go back and look at how Slick was bashing W last month Vs what he said today.
2)Slick is doing a CHA(CoveringHerA$$) for Hillary's yes vote on the war so she will be able to run 2004 without having to answer to her critics on the war question. Bill is just doing what he has always done. Put the bad news out there first then later on you don't have to deal with it. I'm sure that Hillary will hold a press conference this week saying she stands by her decision on the war but disagrees with W blah, blah, blah. While all the other canidates are running left this leaves Hillary to looking like a "middle of the road" canidate like Bill pretended to be in 92.
