The leftwing blogosphere has a new villain in addition to John McCain and Sarah Palin: Bill Clinton. They have been suspecting that Clinton has not been giving all out support to Barack Obama including his announcement to Larry King that he wouldn't begin campaigning for Obama until after October 9 out of respect for the Jewish High Holy Days. However, the straw that really broke the leftwing camel's back was Clinton's statement today to Chris Cuomo on ABC's Good Morning America defending John McCain's request for a debate delay until after the financial bailout crises is resolved. Here are a couple of things that Bill Clinton said that drove the left absolutely bonkers:
We know he didn't do it because he's afraid because Sen. McCain wanted more debates.
...I presume he did that in good faith since I know he wanted -- I remember he asked for more debates to go all around the country and so I don't think we ought to overly parse that.
This caused a firestorm of anger at both the Daily Kos and the Democratic Underground. So just how angry is the leftwing blogosphere with Bill Clinton? You can get an idea by reading this sampling of comments posted at the Democratic Underground:
SHUT THE HELL UP BILL!!! I can't stand his ass anymore.
the reality is that his presidency was All About Bill, he screwed interns and progressive values with equal abandon, and he ushered in Republican control of all three brances of the government.

I think I’m begging to like Bubba.
“begging” should have been “beginning”.

The Daily Kooks and DUmmies are in a tizzy!
Ol’ Bubba Clinton knows he was jobbed in the Democrat Primaries, by Bill Richardson and the claims that he was a racist.
The Clintons know darn well a Obama victory seals them at the back row of Democrat politics forever.
you gotta love the incredible arrogance of a man who still thinks he is the most important person in the Free World.....
I love it!
either way seems to work.
I’ve been trying to tell you since the unfortunate impeachment episode that Bill is a good guy!
the reality is that his presidency was All About Bill, he screwed interns and progressive values with equal abandon,...”
Curiouser and curiouser!
DUmmies and KOSacks sounding like 1990’s Republicans on a bad day (well, except for the “progressive values” part).
Has there ever been an election campaign this weird?
Priceless !!
But for the moment he's our SOB. For all the wrong reasons, of course, but I say take him off the leash and let him damn Obambi with faint praise all he wants.
you know.. I think Slick Willie is flirting at me..
UGHHHHH..I meant PAYBACK...need more vit.A!
It’s the end of the world, I tell ya’! Nothing makes sense anymore! Next thing you know...the Cubs will win the Series. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

This is so fun to watch. Clearly, Bubba’s feeling towards the manchild are tepid, if not chilly. I’m hoping the Clinton machine has something in its arsenal to weaken Obama enough to offset ACORN’S fraudulent voters.
