This has got to be one of the most ironic and hypocritical things I’ve seen in a while. Get this one from the NY Post:
Former President Clinton has sent out a fundraising letter on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee under his own name warning that Republicans are trying to “derail’ President Obama’s agenda.
Not much unexpected there.
But along with the letter, Clinton has included a flyer from the DSCC that’s bound to raise eyebrows.
“DSCC funds go towards efforts to unseat far-right Republican senators like admitted sinner David Vitter…” the flyer says, referring to the Louisiana senator who admitted patronizing a prostitution service when he was in the House.
Vitter has been a Clinton foe for a long time, calling on President Clinton to step down in 1998 because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Next time, Clinton — an admitted sinner in his own right — might want to check the small type in campaign material he distributes.
Someone’s got to be losing their job over this one, right? Not that Vitter isn’t a sinner but I’m not sure Clinton’s the right delivery vehicle for that message. Seriously, this one’s got to embarrass even Clinton. Or is that not possible anymore?
No word yet on whether the DSCC considers Barney Frank “a sinner” for actually running a brothel out of his apartment.

Remember this?
"In a recent interview with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta, former President Bill Clinton repeatedly referred to human embryos as 'unfertilized,' adding that, if they were fertilized, they would 'become human beings.'"
So, it's really not hypocritical unless he signed the letter.

"…former President Bill Clinton repeatedly referred to human embryos as 'unfertilized,' …"
President Clinton does not know the difference between an egg and an embryo? Someone ought to give him a lesson in biology.
