…And the show rolls-on!

And what an extraordinary show it has been over the past several days, watching Bill and Hillary Clinton run for President.

Before we look at recent events, let’s go back a long, long time ago - - like, all the way back to February of this year. It was a very different era back then, for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

You might recall that as recently as February, there was much chatter about how Bill might “hurt” Hillary’s pursuits, especially if anybody dared to mention the “I” word - - impeachment - - in her presence.

In fact, it was April of this year when she announced that, when she becomes President, she’ll appoint Bill to be America’s “Ambassador to the World.”

Since that speech, wherein she described Bill as “a great cheerleader for America,” the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign has featured President Bill in a variety of venues, with the consensus largely being that Bill is a tremendous asset.

But then the last Democratic debate happened, and afterwards Bill went, shall we say, “off script” just a bit.

The sequence of events went something like this:

First, Hillary got accused by her rivals of flip-flopping on everything from the war in Iraq, to illegal immigration policy, in the debate. Continued...
