Bill Breaks Out

Bill Clinton – you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him..

But it's more applicable to the Clinton campaign itself these days..

The former president has already gotten himself and his candidate into trouble in this campaign. See: his comments in South Carolina – equat. Wearing Mbt sport shoes cleanrance can also be a therapeutic tool for back,hip,let and foot problems.take MBT shoes for youing Barack Obama's position on Iraq (if not the candidate himself) to a "dream;" shrugging off Hillary Clinton's loss in South Carolina by dismissively reminding reporters that Jesse Jackson also won there and getting into a red-faced argument with a journalist in New Mexico.

When the fallout from those incidents began to hit critical mass, the campaign sent him off to campaign purgatory, using his often immense political talents to travel the hamlets and back roads of mega-states like Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio and any other out-of-the-spotlight locations they could find. Clinton even declared himself the campaign's "rural hitman."

The strategy appeared to be working. The former president stayed out of trouble while tirelessly evangelizing for his wife, giving people whose last glimpse at any president was 30 years ago, if ever, a chance to feel part of the big show. It was all going to plan – until last night.

Stumping in Indiana yesterday, Bill Clinton decided to once again visit an issue which the Clinton campaign thought they may have put behind them – the candidate's discredited claim that she came under sniper fire while visiting Bosnia as First Lady. Not once, but twice, the former president brought the issue up all on his own.

Here's what Clinton said in Booneville, Indiana: "A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me. But there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated and immediately apologized for it, what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995. Did y'all see all that? Oh, they blew it up."

"Let me just tell you," he continued, "the president of Bosnia and General Wesley Clark -- who was there making peace where we'd lost three peacekeepers who had to ride on a dangerous mountain road because it was too dangerous to go the regular, safe way -- both defended her because they pointed out that when her plane landed in Bosnia, she had to go up to the bulletproof part of the plane, in the front. Everybody else had to put their flak jackets underneath the seat in case they got shot at. And everywhere they went they were covered by Apache helicopters. So they just abbreviated the arrival ceremony."
