Limbaugh asserts it is because Clinton recognizes he did precisely the same things Bush did, in principle, and if Bush is "guilty" so is Clinton. Limbaugh is wrong. The fact is that Clinton believes the strategy will work, and that a gullible American public will eventually be sucked in by a steady stream of liberal lies, and this is good for the Democrats. So why is Clinton opposing the continued bashing of Bush? Believe it. Bill & Hill can easily rationalize that it "is important enough to have Hill in '08 that it is worth sacrificing now". Particularly, given all this complicated foreign policy stuff. Let Bush sort that out, then when she comes to office she can coast the way Bill did -- great economy, no complicated/messy foreign policy issues to deal with, just 4 (or, worse, ugh! 8) years of tax-and-spend. These people are scheming and it isn't about the Democrats' agenda; it is about the Bill & Hill agenda.
