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.

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.

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?" I’m with Jason D: “First Gentleman” would be my first choice, for now.

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?”
