Gotta love Big Bill.. He's so fair to people, he said Mitt was running a better campaign tho.

 

[Kuros]

Yes, this is the Clintonesque backhanded praise. He lets you know what he really thinks, but is wise enough to avoid saying out load.

The former Arkansas governor had similar praise for the Minnesota congresswoman's "more moderate" Republican competitors because "they're a little more connected to the real world."

Anybody who thinks bubba is wise is dumb.

Anyone who thinks Bachmann is wise is beyond dumb.

That's very "Christian" of you.

1) He's just trying to get in her pants.
2) Clinton would definitely know who or what to "beat."

Unlike the dim thinkers who ironically discredit Bachmann's intelligence, Slick Willy probably has an awareness and appreciation for what goes into earning a Masters of Law degree.

As for the "a little more connected to the real world" comment; read between the lines. He's talking about the real world of political posturing and appeasing at the highest level. He doesn't think Bachmann is willing/able to speak out of both sides of her mouth and play the game neccessary to be considered "moderate", a required designation regardless of how transparent it is at this point.

"...you know, she comes across as a real person,"

Code for: she's not a sellout.
