Good news and bad news...

President Bill Clinton, in a 90-minute telephone conversation from his hospital room, offered John Kerry detailed advice on Saturday night on how to reinvigorate his candidacy, as Mr. Kerry enlisted more Clinton advisers to help shape his strategy and message for the remainder of the campaign.

In an expansive conversation, Mr. Clinton, who is awaiting heart surgery, told Mr. Kerry that he should move away from talking about Vietnam, which had been the central theme of his candidacy, and focus instead on drawing contrasts with President Bush on job creation and health care policies, officials with knowledge of the conversation said.


It's good Clinton's helping Kerry- in fact, it's essential to our nation's survival, but the NYT is wrong, I think, to keep bringing up Vietnam.

We do hope Clinton mentioned "My Pet Goat."

As today's NYT also shows, with this latest attack on the Marines, George W. Bush's "wartime leadership" has amounted to nothing more than quagmires and photo-ops.
