With Hillary Clinton out of the presidential race, at least for now, one
supporter, quoted in the East Hampton (N.Y.) Town News, expresses frustration
with the diminution of the public image of Mrs. Clinton's lesser half:

[Judith] Hope didn't comment on the Clintons' reported visit,
but said that she was particularly concerned that the
contentious race seemed to have left some Obama supporters
with the perception that Mr. Clinton might be a racist.

"Bill Clinton's work to eradicate HIV/AIDS around the world
and particularly in Africa, where he has visited hundreds of
AIDS clinics, and secured special concessions from the
pharmaceutical companies on drug pricing, plus successfully
enlisted the support of hundreds of local African tribal and
political leaders, is unequaled," she said. "It is truly
ironic and hurtful that the black community seems to hold
such bitterness towards him. There is not a racist bone in
his body and anyone who knows him well knows that."

The Hill, meanwhile, reports that the Clintons are planning a long vacation to
recuperate from Mrs. Clinton's hard-fought campaign:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), a stalwart supporter of
Clinton's presidential bid, would say only that she and former
President Bill Clinton "wanted to go somewhere private and far
away where she could rest."

Wait a second, Bill and DiFi? Well, hey, who are we to judge? And it is
refreshing to see him take an interest in a mature woman for a change.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.
