That’s what I want to know.

After 8 years of Hillary, we get 8 years of Jeb. Followed by 8 years of Chelsea, then 8 years of Barbara….

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.

Why do they bother?

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.

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

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.

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?”

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.
