From ABC News:

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich believes former President Clinton’s blow up during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” — and the escalating war of words over whether he or President Bush mishandled opportunities to catch or kill Osama bin Laden before the Sept. 11 attacks — was premeditated to shore up support for Democrats ahead of the November midterm elections.

“I think that as the most experienced professional in the Democratic Party, he didn’t walk onto that set and suddenly get upset,” Gingrich said. “He probably decided in advance he was going to pick a fight with Chris Wallace.”

This, Gingrich said, may have been a good strategy.

“I think as a calculated political decision, it’s reasonably smart,” he said.

Bill Kristol’s idea gains steam.
