A day after the Philadelphia debate, Bill Clinton is all full of himself talking about the complaints of Obama supporters. Hillary's too tough for that, he says:
"When I watched that debate last night, I got kinda tickled. After the [debate], her opponents', oh, the people working were saying, 'Oh this is so negative, why are they doing this.' Well they've been beatin' up on her for 15 months. I didn't hear her whining when he said she was untruthful in Iowa or called her the senator from Punjab."
Once again, the ex-president is residing in a different reality. Does he remember all the complaints about Tim Russert's "gotcha" questions last year? Does he remember press aide Phil Singer complaining that Saturday Night Live had it right in a satiric skit showing Obama getting easy questions in debates? Hasn't he ever heard Howard Wolfson -- or, himself -- bellyaching about the double standard of the press?
Or, how about the debate in Ohio where Hillary herself actually complained about getting the first question too often in debates?
Whining has been one of the staples of the campaign, from both sides.

Bill is doing what Bill does best. Put his foot into his mouth. Now he does this because he does not want Hilary Soprano to win.
He does not want to be FIRST HUSBAND. He wants to be a BILLIONAIRE FOR BUSH.
That takes a lot of money, and as FIRST HUSBAND, he could not MAKE MONEY.
So he keeps putting his foot into his mouth.
In the end there can only be ONE who was President not TWO.
IT'S BILL STUPID.
