Bill Clinton Explains Why He's Now For Marriage Equality, Ctd

Althouse:

Clinton signed DOMA when he thought it was in his political interest, and I suspect he thinks it's in his political interest now to embrace same-sex marriage. I can understand Sullivan enthusing over whatever high-level support he gets for his big cause, but I would find him a much more interesting writer if he would shine a sharp, critical light on everything.

The Dish posted the interview without comment: how exactly is that "enthusing" over Clinton's statement? We have scoured through his record on gay rights many times. Having shone a sharp, critical light on Clinton's record on gay matters for years, the Dish is actually obliged to present his conversion to correct the record.
