Does everyone realize Bill Clinton also testified yesterday?
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/09/politics/09CLIN.html?ex=1396929600&en=306b3bd4fce74448&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND

Out of Usual Spotlight, Clinton Has Long Session With Panel

WASHINGTON, April 8 — Hours after it riveted Washington's attention with public testimony from Condoleezza Rice, the commission investigating the 9/11 attacks met in secret and hung on the words of a witness who once made much bigger headlines: Bill Clinton.

True to form, Mr. Clinton stayed an hour longer than planned, and sometimes answered questions that had not been asked, commissioners reported. He took time off from finishing his memoirs and "battened down the hatches to prepare for this very methodically," reviewing relevant documents and discussing the issues with former aides, one longtime associate said.

"But a lot of what we talked to him about was actually the inner workings of presidency as well as many of the classified briefings we've been able to read," Mr. Kean said in an appearance on Thursday evening on "Newshour" with Jim Lehrer. "We asked him some pretty detailed questions on those. And he was just totally frank — totally frank, totally honest, and forthcoming."

---------------

Wow, a president who is honest, frank, and forthcoming. What a concept...

2. Would you expect anything less from Bill?
Really, the contrast between WJC and GWB couldn't be more extreme.

4. Maybe Bill Clinton should testify under oath on TV
Think about it. This may put pressure on Smirk to testify or to let the transcript of his interview become public.

5. Bush would never allow this and Clinton is too "classy" to do it.
Bush is making Clinton look better and better.

6. It's funny, that's what my friend was saying tonight
He's a recently converted Repuke, and tonight, with the help of ample supplies of alcohol, he admitted that as much as he used to despise Clinton, the more he looks into it, the more his esteem of Clinton rises.

Fuckin' A, man!
