Bill's Peace Offering (not "You're Lucky If You Get My Support, Punk")

Since this was just posted in edited form and with a inflamatory headline added, here's the complete thing. Prepare to be horrified (not!)

Bill's Peace Offering

Kingstree, S.C. -- Speaking to a crowd at the Williamsburg County Recreation Center, Bill Clinton just now offered an olive branch:
�If wins this nomination, I�m going to do what I can to help him become president.�

The promise comes after a week of bitter exchanges between the former president and the Obama campaign. "After all the mean things they said about me, I can�t believe I�m saying this," Clinton said.

Clinton was responding to an audience member's question--well, more like a statement--about how "black America is voting for Obama" even though "America is not ready for a black president." "I hope you're wrong about that," Clinton said, adding that he thinks Hillary is the best candidate for reasons other than gender or race.

1. You mean an Obama supporter LIED to us?

I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I say!

Y'know, a recent scientific study has concluded that 106% of all the bullshit flung here against each candidate is of our own creation -- 53% from Obama supporters, 53% from Clinton supporters, and 6% divided between Edwards' and Kucinich's supporters.

2. No, not lied. Just editorialized in a way calculated to inspire division.
