The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth…

…mostly:

From Andrew Sprung:

Well, it took Bill Clinton a long time to get to the heart of his speech. But what a mighty heart it proved to be. What a giant enterprise. He set himself singlehandedly to counter a billion dollars in attack ads, to break through the core Republican lies and obfuscations. …The written speech is tighter than the spoken one. But when he got to Obama, he delivered a more robust and detailed litany of his accomplishments in office than any prior speaker. And when he got to the GOP proposals and attacks, he spoke as if his own legacy, and the country’s future, were on the line.

I don’t even much like Clinton but I sure liked his speech. The put a mirror up to a naked king.
