In this lengthy tribute to his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, former President Bill Clinton gives his personal pitch for why Americans should vote for her in 2008. Pointing out that the U.S. needs to work on building friendships with other nations instead of isolating itself, he says Hillary’s “caring, working and delivering” put her ahead of the pack.

Hillary Clinton is apparently so concerned with the specter of flip-flopping she will never apologize for her vote to authorize military action against Iraq. Speaking at a recent campaign event, the candidate herself said, “If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from.” Indeed, there are.

Clinton strategist turned Fox News provocateur Dick Morris brought his peculiar insight to bear on the Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama showdown, claiming: “Obama is in fact a better first than she is. First black is better than first woman in our politics in terms of valuing it.” What reasoning Morris used to make that determination remains a mystery, as he quickly moved on to the multitude of reasons why he feels Obama can’t win, and how he’ll leave the country if either one does.

Arianna Huffington takes Hillary Clinton to task for continuing her vote-hungry triangulating campaign against video game indecency. In case you missed it, last year Hillary got all bent out of shape over a hidden sex scene in a game called “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.” She didn’t seem to mind the initial release of the game, which allowed players (17 and older) to commit mass murder in graphic detail.

Gen. John Abizaid told the Senate Armed Services Committee that troop levels should not be changed in Iraq, but that Iraqis themselves ought to bear responsibility for the nation’s security. Sen. Hillary Clinton responded with a smackdown: “Hope is not a strategy. ... I have heard over and over again the Iraqi government must do this, the Iraqi army must do that. Nobody disagrees with that. The brutal fact is, it is not happening.”

Testifying before Congress today, Donald Rumsfeld said he has never painted a rosy picture about Iraq, and that you would have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I have been overly optimistic.
(h/t: ThinkProgress)
That’s just nonsense. And we’ve got the proof—in the form of Rumsfeld’s own words (after the jump...)

By Joe Conason — “Of all possible explanations for the mainstream media’s preoccupation with the Clinton marriage, the most innocuous is nostalgia for a better time, when we were able to worry less about war, corruption, catastrophe and incompetence, and more about sex.”
