Time To Bring Back Bill Clinton

If Republicans, in their fervor to rid the White House of Barack Obama, are yet again experiencing The Temptation of Newt, then Democrats have only one illogically rational response in this modern American political hall of mirrors.

They should bring back Bill Clinton.

Of course, the law prohibits the Comeback Kid from coming back to serve a third term, and Obama might not go for it, but only old-school twits would let any of that get in the way. The Constitution and its amendments are so 18th, 19th and 20th century. The notion of persuading good ol’ Joe Biden to step aside in favor of Hillary as vice president is not sufficiently grandiose when it comes to going after Gingrich. As the former speaker his ownself might declare, Democrats frankly must unequivocally and eloquently undertake fundamental change so extraordinarily revolutionary that America will not be the same again.

Enter the Big Guy.

It is tit for tat all the way when it comes to those two. Still sick, after all these years, of Clinton and his melodrama? Who can say that with a straight face and not be equally tired of Gingrich? Still feeling queasy about the character questions surrounding the Arkansas traveler’s sexual behavior? How does that hurt him in a world where Pope Limbaugh pronounces that it was a “mark of character” for Newt to ask his second wife for permission while cheating on her. If nothing else, Clinton vs. Gingrich might banish from campaign rhetoric all pious baloney about sex. Not a word could be uttered about Clinton’s impeachment, not with the hindsight that the married Javert of the House was at the same time fooling around with an aide named Callista down at the agriculture committee.

people should visit the real DC
not the landmarks,memorials and Smithsonian but haunt the Old Ebbit Grill and other power spots were your elected and even of Bush era our own appointed....no names now....but you think Vegas is crude
DC is a Disney Land of prostitutes both male and female drugs and all sorts of secreted fetishism and debauchery for both parties and the only thing they cooperate on is keeping it all secreted too themselves on your dime
they all think we are stupid and clueless and we just might be if we let them
but people like to believe
the founders were smart to declare this a christian nation it shielded them from a lot of scrutiny considering what we have come to know of them now
