Bill and Bush: the comeback kids — 14 Comments

  1. “First Gentleman” would be the grammatically correct form; how that might reasonably be applied to Bill Clinton is another question.

  2. I suspect Hillary, if she does manage to get in, would not allow Bill to share pizza or any vital fluids with any interns. Unfortunately the possibility of Ms Clinton reaching that exalted office is the sad price the record of Mr. Bush will exact. Hopefully a strong and vigorous candidacy by Mr. Thompson might save us from the prospect of the Clinton’s inhabiting the White House yet again. One suspect the common sense and rationalism of the American voter will prevail.

  3. I’m imagining the sycophants at that dinner table:

    Hill: Pass the peas.
    Syco: Yes, Mrs President.
    Bill: Pass the beans.
    Syco: Yes, Mr President.

  4. Yes, like the Clinton Presidency was such a disaster compared to the one we’re currently enduring.

    Given a choice between flawed chief executives, Clinton and his interns were a better deal for the US than Bush with his codpieces and useless wars.

  5. I’m with Jason D: “First Gentleman” would be my first choice, for now. With Bill, it would need to be amended to “First Scoundrel”.

    For a British twist, we could go with “First Consort”, or “Presidential Consort”, or “Executive Consort”. Yet, with Bill and Hillary, again, that would not accurately describe their situation. What – in this genre – would be accurate? “First ‘Not on Your Life'”? “First ‘Priority for the Secret Service to Keep Away From Me?'” “First Campaign Asset?”

  6. George W. Bush was a fighter pilot. The best strategy in a dogfight is to let your opponent think he’s doing great, right up until the time you kill him.

  7. Bush the comeback kid. What a hoot. Yeh and there’s no housing bubble. It’s amazing what so people will tell themselves.

  8. Looking Glass

    Oh I thought the lesson from George W. Bush’s days as a “fighter pilot” was if you don’t show up you can’t be shot down.

  9. The interesting thing about the trolls is how uninteresting their comments are. Why do they bother?

  10. “Why do they bother?”

    Because they truly believe that, if they take every opportunity to express their hate and contempt for anyone who doesn’t tell them what they want to hear, they will create a wave of popular support that will sweep them into power.

    They fail to realize that Dubya was not elected because of the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, but because his popular support was enough to overcome their sabotage. To them, correlation is the same as causation, which also explains their support for pseudo-scientific boondoggles like GM bans and the fight against global warming.

  11. But, but, don’t you realize that “they” control us?
    After 8 years of Hillary, we get 8 years of Jeb. Followed by 8 years of Chelsea, then 8 years of Barbara….
