In last night’s Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton addressed Barack Obama about her historical stance on giving driver’s licenses to illegals:

I just have to correct the record for one second, because, obviously, we do agree about the need to have comprehensive immigration reform, and if I recall, about a week after I said that I would try to support my governor, although I didn’t agree with it personally, you were asked the same question and could not answer it.

What other politician would simply claim hypocrisy in defense of a policy?

Why, her husband, of course. On November 28 of last year, Bill Clinton made the first of a long string of soundbyte gaffes that would haunt Hillary’s campaign. This was when he was in Iowa and blurted out that he “opposed Iraq from the beginning.” He was immediately and ubiquitously called out on it. According to the New York Times, here was his defense:

Advisers to Mr. Clinton said yesterday that he did oppose the war, but that it would have been inappropriate at the time for him, a former president, to oppose—in a direct, full-throated manner—the sitting president’s military decision.

This is a couple who wants credit for thinking things they’re too cowardly to act upon. One has to marvel at the anti-serendipitous force that brought the two of them together . . .
