WP: For Clinton, a Chance to Evoke Better Days
For Clinton, a Chance to Evoke Better Days
By Dana Milbank
Thursday, April 13, 2006; Page A02

With President Bush wallowing in low public esteem, his predecessor came to town yesterday for a bit of gloating.

It wasn't the overt, I-told-you-so gloat; that would be unseemly for a former president. But as Bill Clinton accepted an award for "international understanding" and addressed a group of nonprofits yesterday, his words carried the subtle but unmistakable pleasure of sua culpa.

Noting the plummeting image of the United States in the Muslim world -- except in Indonesia, where Clinton himself has been helping with tsunami relief -- he said that "it's a big argument for doing things in a cooperative way rather than in a unilateral way."

Mocking the Bush administration policy of "cooperate when there's no other alternative," he added: "We should still have a preference for peace over war, a preference for cooperation over unilateralism, a preference for investing more to build a world with more partners and fewer terrorists."

The 43rd president is a fairly easy target for the 42nd at the moment. At 38 percent support in the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, Bush has been lower longer than Clinton ever was....

2. I drive around with a bumpersticker that says, "I Miss Clinton"
You wouldn't believe how much response from people that gets.
