My friend Aprille just sent me a transcript of Bill Clinton's recent appearance on Fox News. When referring to his all-out search for Osama bin Ladin back when he was President, our Bill really got into it! "But at least I tried," he expounded. "That's the difference between me and some...including all the right wingers who are attacking me now. They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to try and they didn't. I tried."

What Clinton is saying about all the "right-wingers" -- aka the same group that inflicted us with George W. Bush -- is very true. This isn't really hot news. All of us underground bloggers and "conspiracy nuts" have been saying something like this since approximately 9:30 am EST on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. So. Why, six years after Bush's total failure to act on security intelligence regarding Osama bin Ladin and/or the airplane hijackers, is all this so newsworthy now?

Because the Big Dog is dissing George Bush and his base right out in the open for God and everybody to see and hear!

Clinton has his pulse on the heart and soul of America. He KNOWS what America thinks.

So. If Clinton is actually coming out and saying something like this in public, then this IS news. It means that Bush is in deep dog dookie! Even more accurately than Gallup or Zogby, Clinton knows how America thinks -- and also how America will vote.
