First up, Dr. Freud for a quick consultation on the mindset of the eternal narcissist.

As always with Clinton, this is all about Bill.

And in stumping for Lieberman he's playing out his personal psychodrama, his hunger for redemption, his longing to work through the shame of his past. The narcissist is always in desperate need of love and admiration -- and what could be more fulfilling than earning the gratitude of the man who took to the Senate floor to express his "deep disappointment and personal anger" at Clinton for his Oval Office blow job?

Bill Clinton seems to want nothing more than to win the love of those who have judged him most harshly.

The cynic might say that Bill Clinton is going to Connecticut, despite being trashed by Lieberman during the impeachment saga, to protect a fellow member of the elitist establishment's insider's club. They may say that the DLC called in the biggest favor it can offer Lieberman (its patron saint) -- a visit by a former popular president. They may try to find a tortured explanation of why this helps Hillary.

B. Clinton's visit may have been arranged by the DLC (didn't they have some sort of "anual conference" this past weekend? Did anyone care?), but what it tells me is that Bill is a far bigger man than Lieberman ever was or can be.

Despite being on the withering receiving end of Lieberman's sanctimonious public screeds during the impeachment saga, on the floor of the Senate AND in television studios all over the place, Clinton is willing to come to the senator's aid. He could've held a grudge and none would think less of him.

Instead, he repays Lieberman's backstabbing with kindness.

So I actually respect Bill for doing this one event for Lieberman. In a funny way it makes Lieberman look even smaller, pettier, and pathetic than he already does.
