    Bill's Night

    Posted Wednesday, August 27, 2008 9:34 PM | By Emily Bazelon
    Wow. I have spent these many months—years?—gnashing my teeth over Bill Clinton, ruing his narcissism and practically forgetting the good he did as president. And there he is tonight, showing us his best side: the commanding, masterful framer of Democratic goals and values vs. Republican ones, and repeatedly bringing the choice back to this presidential election, this Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. It wasn't just "He is ready to lead" and "They say he's too young and inexperienced ... sound familiar?" (I'm paraphrasing.) It was the weaving of Obama with real policy of the future and the best of the Clinton past. And what a great new twist on his signature line about hope. Maybe it's all about defying expectations. Whatever—it doesn't really matter. Bill, you nailed it.
