Who woke up Big Dawg?

Is it that he is upset at the Monica questions or is he really willing to bat for us now instead of defending Bush and the Iraq war?

Clinton: Bush is robbing from poor to give to rich

http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/lv-gov/2004/jun/28/517090691.html

"Former President Bill Clinton had harsh words for the Bush administration at a fund-raiser Sunday in Las Vegas, arguing that Bush and his supporters are funneling the nation's wealth to the upper class while letting crucial programs suffer.

The Bush tax cuts have placed such a burden on the national budget that funds for after-school programs, police officers, benefits for troops and even national security measures have been compromised, Clinton said.

"I believe that this is a very important election," Clinton told a crowd of about 350 Democratic loyalists at the Rio. "You've got to understand that the new Republicans are way to the right of anybody you've ever had running this country before." "

1. I hear he's got a prime time spot

along with Kennedy and Gore at the convention. Geez, it the campaign theme this year "living in the past"?. Where's the new blood?

3. uh, the VP and Kerry will speak also . you want a bunch of unknowns ?

you want them to get a bunch of unknowns at the convention ?

[Dagaz]

7. ok, how about a minority?

Sure I don't know who the VP is but this sure looks lilly white male to me right now. Well except for the loving wife who isn't running for anything.

[cprise]

2. Good question

All the political mud-slinging and even the impeachment didn't wake him up.

So he's just now realizing that all the rabid frothing over him during his administration was about keeping his constituents powerless?

4. this isn't much different from what he has always been saying

[lancdem]

5. I think you guys are missing something obvious

When Clinton's doing public interviews, he has to soften his criticism of Bush because ex-presidents aren't supposed to be partisan. It's a completely different story when he speaks before a group of Dems at a fund-raiser.

6. When your country is going down the toilet

"aren't supposed to be partisan" be damned.
