Bubba is back alert!
In the NY Post, Deborah Orin reveals that Bill: ‘MIA' Dems Are Weak On War Issue:

Former President Bill Clinton yesterday broke his silence on this year's Democratic disaster on Election Day, saying Democrats lost because they were "missing in action on national security" and looked weak.

But Clinton, who effusively painted his own time in office as a lost golden era, offered few specifics for how Democrats can bounce back and suggested his party's main problem was marketing and tactics rather than its ideas.

Sounds like Bubba.

He added: "So we lost a couple of elections - big deal."

Clinton took issue with President Bush on the war on terror and taxes, but the most talented Democratic politician of his generation spoke mostly in terms that other Democrats used this fall - without notable success.

He also complained, echoing recent comments from his own vice president, Al Gore, that there is a "bellicose conservative press" while the rest of the press is "increasingly docile" in its coverage of Bush.

Their favorite fantasy.

Clinton seemed especially angry at his party for failing to defend its leaders against Republican attacks last fall and groused publicly about a TV attack ad that featured his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) as a silly bobblehead doll saying no to Bush.

"I'll never forget the little puppets of [Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle] and Hillary in all those ads - they got away with it," he fumed.

Gee, that's really harsh, Bubba! He must have forgotten about the 2000 election.
