Week in Politics: Clinton Does Damage Control
News analyst Juan Williams talks about the Clinton campaign doing damage control after former Sen. Bob Kerrey publicly highlights Barack Obama's Muslim background. (He's Christian.) The Obama team interprets the comments as a strategy by a Clinton supporter to attack him.
He also discusses Rudolph Giuliani's trip to the hospital with flu-like symptoms at a time when his poll numbers are shrinking and he has a lot of catching up to do.
Williams also talks about a remark by Rush Limbaugh that Clinton seems to be aging on the campaign trail, holding her to a different standard than he might a male politician.
