The Clinton Lectures

The idea of Bill Clinton lecturing Barack Obama on any subject makes me want to choke. Obama could say (but won’t) that he still has his law license. Clinton surrendered his Arkansas license for five years and remains a disbarred attorney, banned from practicing before the Supreme Court of the United States because he lied under oath. Obama might say (but won’t) that he, like Clinton, enjoys being adored by beautiful women, but he hasn’t made a practice of seducing them. Not on the job, and not off the job either. He might say (but won’t) that his wife wouldn’t tolerate such conduct on his part and would never be so corrupt as to facilitate his infidelities in exchange for a promise of political power. He might point out that history already judges Bill Clinton, Democrat, as less progressive than Richard Nixon, Republican. He might say that Bill Clinton will be distinguished always and forever as an impeached president and is today an embarassment to his party, if not a millstone around the neck of every Democrat. Clinton needs to get out of the way, and somebody should tell him that. Somebody should tell her that.
