President Clinton apparently concurs with the opinion that Hillary's endorsement of Barack wasn't enough -- and so he tag teamed her and threw in at least a slightly more personal endorsement of his would-be successor.

But the length of the speech, the fact it didn't stick to its designated subject, and its self-referential quality were all vintage Bill Clinton. If Hillary's speech was intended to make delegates regret not having chosen her as their nominee, Bill Clinton's was designed to show them that Barack Obama can never measure up to him -- and that Barack's only hope of success is emulating his own glorious reign of the '90's (minus the interns, presumably).

He needn't worry. Americans should have every confidence that Barack can kick the foreign policy can down the road with the same insouciance that Clinton displayed.

Great!
We should be so lucky as to have another Bill Clinton in the White House. Thanks for your good wishes, Ms. Liebau!

The Nagging Truth
is that, for all the pomp and circumstance, and with nearly every media outlet fawning over democrats in general and worshiping Obama in particular; The Dali Bama is still basically tied with a crusty, mean, old man whose own party doesn't fully embrace. What's up with that?

I have to admit that, given the two candidates the major parties have put up this time around, I am nastalgic for the Clinton era myself. At least Bill and Hill got conservative Reps in control of Congress.

Learn!
I hope all the Neo-Cons learned something last night. Villify Clinton all you want -- but he is the best political speaker since Reagan. Never in W's wildest drunken dreams could he get close to that quality of oratory.

Kommie Dems are full of ethics...
...notice how they kicked John Edwards out of the convention speakers' list because he had an affair and lied about it. They replaced him with Bill Clinton!
