IW: Hallelujah! It’s ironic that Clinton had an epiphany over trade. The last straw that made me leave the Democratic Party was seeing his VP, Al Gore, on television defending NAFTA against Ross Perot. Yeah, that Al Gore. The one and the same.

On Wednesday, journalist Kim Ives of Haiti Liberté questioned Clinton about his change of heart and his stance on the return of ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
