Former President Bill Clinton defended himself Wednesday against accusations that he and his wife had injected the issue of race into the Democratic presidential primary in South Carolina, and he accused Senator Barack Obama of Illinois of putting out a “hit job” on him.And here I thought that Obama and Clinton had settled their differences. My mistake.
Scolding a reporter, Mr. Clinton said the Obama campaign was “feeding” the news media to keep issues of race alive, obscuring positive coverage of the presidential campaign here of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

I'm losing my respect for our former president. Not only should he censor himself for the good of politics, but I think in the long-run his big mouth is going to hurt Hillary's campaign.
Then again, people love this guy, so I might be wrong.
