Rachel Maddow on The GOP's "Blame Clinton" Strategy [VIDEO]

May 25, 2007

In another clever edition of her "Campaign Asylum" series, Rachel Maddow pokes fun at the flailing 2008 GOP presidential candidates as they try to figure out how to best distance themselves from President Bush's "legacy" while at the same time embracing it. Rudy Giuliani has attached himself the most outrageous theory as of late, claiming on David Letterman's show that the Iraq War was really something Bill Clinton wanted to do but he "never got the opportunity." I sincerely hope Bill Clinton will emerge to repudiate those remarks. In the meantime, check out the video to your right.
