Well, it was inevitable the Clintons would show their true stripes in yet another attempt to derail Obama as he appears to be gaining strength and has a real chance to win the presidency.
In speaking to reporters yesterday he said Democrats should be nice to Palin and stop attacking her. He said, and this is a partial paraphrase,
"Why ever say anything bad about a person? Why don't we like them and celebrate them and just say she was a good choice?"
Umm - why didn't you give that advice to Hillary when she was attacking Obama?
As one of the bloggers posted in response to this, This is clearly the opening of the Hillary 2012 campaign.

Richard -- my suspicion of the Clintons' motives is not quite so negative as yours -- although I've been plenty critical of them too.
In my take, Bill was being his genial self and he was trying to explain why Palin was such a popular choice in the heartland, because they relate to her: "I'm from Arkansas. I get why she hot out there. Why she doing well."
And the line you quote was actually: "My view is . . . why, ever, say anything bad about a person? Why don't we like them and celebrate them and be happy for her elevation to the ticket. And just say that she was a good choice FOR HIM AND WE DISAGREE WITH THEM?"
Not quite so outrageous.
