Bill Clinton, WTF? President Slams Young Voters

As the polls show "bittergate" leaving little impression on Pennsyvlania voters, it seems like former President Clinton decided it was time to lash-out at young people - again - with more slash and burn politics. In Iowa, the former President thought that young people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Now he's back with the equally offensive suggestion that we're too stupid to vote properly (that would be, for Hillary).

QUAKERTOWN, Pa. -- Older voters gravitate to Hillary Clinton because they're too wise to be fooled by Barack Obama's rhetoric, former president Bill Clinton told Pennsylvania voters today.

Clinton's comments, to a packed high school gym about an hour north of Philadelphia, were one part presidential politics and one part legacy protection. His beef was with Obama's contention that many of the problems facing the country today were simmering long before President Bush took office seven-plus years ago.

"I think there is a big reason there's an age difference in a lot of these polls," he said. "Because once you've reached a certain age, you won't sit there and listen to somebody tell you there's really no difference between what happened in the Bush years and the Clinton years; that there's not much difference in how small-town Pennsylvania fared when I was president, and in this decade."

I believe that WTF? is the only appropriate response. I can't wait for this primary to be over.
