Donovan,
    But you're missing the point of this post. It
wasn't to rehash whether Clinton was a good guy or
not. It was WHY IS HE APOLOGIZING FOR BUSH? Why is he
directly contradicting what you and many other critics
are saying about W?
All the  rest of the national Democrats look on this
latest Uranium thing as their chance to pounce.
   Any ideas?
