Northman's Fury

Or, in the words of Joe Gandelman:

isn’t the time WAY PAST when Senator Hillary Clinton needs to get a big roll of duct tape and use it on her counterproductive husband former President Bill Clinton?

When the history of the Hillary Clinton campaign is written — win or lose — a special chapter will be devoted to how Bill Clinton, a one time savvy politician, evolved into a tin-eared political operative who did more damage to his wife than help her when he opened his mouth at key points during her campaign.

Bill's latest unhelpful episode was, for some inexplicable reason, resurrecting Hillary's whopper of a Bosnia story and making a ham-handed, error-filled defense of it. ABC helpfully footnoted all of the misstatements.

This comes after a week where Hillary had to fire demote her chief strategist, Mark Penn, after it was disclosed he was lobbying for a Columbia Free Trade Agreement that she says she opposes. Getting rid of the husband, who has also lobbied for said agreement, isn't quite so easy and laughing it off probably won't do the trick against an opponent more willing to take her to task over it.

However slim her chances might be at this point, Hillary could really do without the walking, talking credibility problem her husband has become. Given this latest in the repeated gaffes he's made over the course of the campaign, you almost have to wonder as Stephen Green does:

Is there any other conclusion to reach other than Clinton is sabotaging his own wife’s campaign?
