Bill: ...but we are not out to hurt the man in personal ways.

Yea, investigating his finances is soooo impersonal. You see that separates Bill from the vicious media. We lie about Conservatives and Republicans, nut he's a really a fair guy when it comes to liberals and Democrats. Okie Dokie.

Rachel Maddow does a segment on Bill's presentation of the Jackson/Obama comment. The part where he says he won't speculate on Jesse's motivations, but then almost immediately he does just that. Flippity-floppity
