Reply #26: This is EXACTLY what I think!

The right-wing, which includes the MSM, are experts at diverting attention and re-framing (read Lakoff's book) to push their agenda. If Clinton makes any comment whatsoever relating to anything that even smells of impeachment, he has handed them a whole new headline on a silver platter. It would be all about CLINTON SEEKING REVENGE.

Clinton is a lightening rod and he knows it. Whatever he gets involved in becomes all about him. We are guilty of it too. He is trying to bring more awareness to Tsunami victims...but all we are talking about is his friendship with poppy Bush.

It's the same with Dean. After he made his comment regarding Republicans being mostly white Christians...how many people said...well, actually that's true. No...it became all about him. How dare he, he needs to apologize, etc....

If you want to kill the DSM story fast, then get Bill Clinton to become it's spokesman!!!

On edit: I am not defending or excusing Clinton. I don't know why he says or does what he does. My impression of his "what's that" response, was that it was sarcasm because he went on obviously knowing about it. I personally do not want him to be involved in this issue because he becomes center of attention wherever he goes and whatever he is involved in.

After what he went through, he deserves to just sit back and watch the Bush Impeachment Reality Show from his comfy chair! Maybe his friendship with the Bushes is his front row seat when the House of Bush collapses.
