“Last” in the sense of “previous”, right?
Ever hopeful.
Bill Clinton. I remember that guy.
He could actually string words together to form coherent sentences.
Then he would string those sentences together to form coherent paragraphs.
Presidents were actually expected to have the ability to do that in those days.
Big Dog for VP!! That would make the frightwinger’s heads explode.
I don’t think Big Dog can be VP…if something were to happen to a President Hillary Clinton, then Bill wouldn’t be allowed to succeed due to term limits.
Bill wouldn’t be allowed to succeed due to term limits
Technically, the 22nd Amendment only says he can’t be elected as President. The line of succession doesn’t require an election.
Ah…I thought it was more like the “eligibility” factor that makes it impossible for non-native born Americans to be considered for Veep.
But “elected” and “eligible” are different.
I really, really hope that Bill takes his behavioral cues from Chelsea Clinton, who is an ideal presidential family member.

Oliver, you really ought to read my post again. It’s all about how Hillary avoided mentioning Bill at a debate. As for her appearing with him in person, I say — in the post you link! — “is it just that he’s mainly to be used as a visual prop in her campaign, so that when he can’t appear in person — as in a debate — you don’t talk about him at all?… [W]hen he can show up in person and talk about her (and not about himself), that works just fine.”
So what do you do, Oliver, when “Facts collide with reality”?
Correct and apologize? I’m still waiting.
Ms. Althouse, you’ll be waiting a long time. Since she uttered the words “my husband,” that means she mentioned him. That she didn’t mention him by name is nothing strange– indeed, if she had said, “My husband, Bill Clinton,” you’d be parsing the living hell out of that, and you’d actually have some justification, unlike the way you don’t now. But that doesn’t even remotely resemble “avoiding mentioning” him.
Hey, you know what? Did she mention teenage pregnancy during that debate? Hmmm. I wonder what else she’s been avoiding mentioning. Subatomic particles, platinum trombones, the rain in Spain. . . this might be worth investigating.
Perhaps you should apologize before you, I dunno, embarrass yourself?
