I can only assume her minivan had...

The performance in Lie Another Day was flawless. Bill Clinton effortlessly lied his way through a speech criticizing the Democrats for failing to get out their message in the recent campaign without him suffering from the least bit of self-conscious irony that HE was the one acting as the chief Democrat cheerleader. Then when Clinton castigated Democrats for standing by and not answering criticism of Tom Daschle while he was one of those standing by, it was a delicious hypocrisy that… OOPS!
