Takes One To Know One
AP’s Ron Fournier re Bill on Obama:
Bill Clinton says Sen. Barack Obama is a callow, highly ambitious political prodigy who is asking voters to “roll the dice” and elect him president.
He should know — that’s a fair description of Clinton when he sought the presidency in 1992.
The fact that the former president is stealing a page from the same Republican playbook used against him 15 years ago underscores the threat Obama poses to the candidacy of Clinton’s wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
It also illustrates Clinton’s penchant for rewriting history.
Fournier has been enjoying the Clinton for Clinton movement.
Brooks, meanwhile, stares deep into Obama’s soul, says experience-exshmerience, he’s the guy. Brooks of course is the guy who thinks voters don’t need to worry about the war anymore. Bizarre analogy alert:
The presidency is a bacterium. It finds the open wounds in the people who hold it. It infects them, and the resulting scandals infect the presidency and the country. The person with the fewest wounds usually does best in the White House, and is best for the country.

but I didn’t think I was ready to be president,” Clinton said.
I don’t believe there was ever a time in Bill Clinton’s life that he didn’t believe he (deserved) was ready to be president. He was just a good enough politician to know when the time was right and the infidelity leaks… er, rumors… could be successfully squelched.
