My question was sparked by comments that Matthew Yglesias posted on his website:

Thought of the Day

It sure was nice of Bill Clinton to put important national concerns
above petty partisanship by agreeing to host a John McCain campaign
speech and help the GOP nominee burnish his bipartisan credentials.
You might think a former President would be so committed to an axe-
grinding agenda that he couldn't see the big picture. But not Bill —
he puts country first, not some personal agenda. Oh what's that you
say? His wife ran for the Democratic nomination and lost? Think that
might be relevant?

Then here is a bit from Letterman two days ago, where Clinton was on
and Chris Rock followed him:

Finally, Clinton gave an interview where he was extremely laudatory of Sarah Palin.

Bipartisanship is a wonderful goal to ascribe to, but not in the last two months of this presidential campaign. Especially after Palin's execrable interview with Katie Couric yesterday, Clinton's compliments of Palin ring not just hollow but self-serving in the worst sort of way.
