The New York Daily News reports a tip for Hugo Chavez from Bill Clinton:
Former President Bill Clinton said Chavez’s tactics could backfire.
“It makes him look small and undermines his effectiveness,” Clinton told Fox News Channel.
His “effectiveness” at doing what?

Mr. Clinton took the Chavez/Achmadinejad fake, but I didn’t . . .
See, Chavez and Achmadinejad are part of a sinister master plan, a plan hatched in the deepest and darkest reaches of the diabolical mind of that evil genius Karl Rove, a plan designed specifically to help elect Republicans come November.
Just ask Cindy Sheehan.

Question is spot on. Clinton’s statement looks very much like a comment you would find in a management performance review, from a peer of the reviewee. That’s a status Chavez most certainly does not deserve: peer of a President, or any leader of a free nation.
Why didn’t Clinton distance himself from Chavez? The rest of the Democratic leadership apparently has — even Nancy Pelosi and Charlie Rangel dished it out to Chavez in the press.
Thought just occurred to me … Another ex-President has done quite the same thing. Mr. Carter has cozied up to dictators (PC: heads of non-aligned nations) in word and deed in the past, thus affording them something like peer status in the world leader ranks. Mr. Carter is getting on in years. Is Clinton his heir apparent? OMG, please spare us.
Clinton’s rant about his response to Osama’s attacks makes him look small and ineffective. In the rel world “trying” doesn’t cut it. Accomplishment is what we expect from leaders. Any fool can claim to have “tried”. The President of the United States does not “try”. As Yoda said “Either do or do not. There is no try”.
Clinton is the “Incredible Shrinking President” He grows more and more irrelevant with every defense. Soon he will be contending with Carter for the “Most Embarassing Former President”
Clinton is just sore that the “chubby cherub of S.American potentates” (Chavez) has plagiarized their party handbook.
The debate as to whether the Un is good for America died last week. The only fig leaf left is that America’s presence in the body somehow limits the damage the UN can do.The UN’s
problem, Iraq’s problem is corruption.
Until that is gone ???
Ah, Bill- full of sound and fury.
