But a few moments later, Hunter again invoked Clinton's involvement, saying it undercut Democratic efforts to play politics with the ports issue:

"I think that the fact that President Clinton now is on record - at least in our hearing, according to the CEO of Dubai Ports World Corporation - as advising the Emir on how to make this deal go through, I think that makes it difficult for the Democrats to get partisan leverage," he told the former Clinton communications director.

This is a serious question. I don't understand.

What is Hunter saying here?

"I think that makes it difficult for the Democrats to get partisan leverage."

He's trying to say that because Bill Clinton is so much FOR the UAE getting the deal, the Dems will sound false for trying to use the deal against Bush and Republicans. I don't agree with him because the media and the Clintons and the dems will just muddy the water so that the truth won't get through.
