Media blitz tours are apparently all the rage for former Presidents. Or at least former Democratic Presidents. Maureen Dowd would no doubt point to Bill Clinton’s cable rounds last night, particularly his Daily Show spot, as some sort of competitive decision on his part to share in President Obama’s magical tour spotlight. That said the timing does seem a little strange. And it’s too bad, because Clinton had some interesting things to say.

Now that Current TV journos Laura Ling and Euna Lee are back safe and sound courtesy of President Clinton, details about their trip are beginning to emerge. Speaking to CNN yesterday Laura’s sister Lisa Ling, former co-host of The View and frequent Oprah guest, revealed that the pair had indeed crossed into North Korea. Still there remains more questions than answers.
