What else can he do? The man is unfit for a job or creating work product. Apart from politics, all he is suited for is following washed-up celebrity greeters on Norwegian cruise ships. Or Vegas, maybe. Assuming they could take the pathetic, leering spectacle of the man.

But having saved the Constitution by creating the need for an impeachment and then fighting it, and having concluded his illustrious presidency by setting the country on a path to recession, Bill has grand plans for himself. He wants to guide the Democratic Party to greater acts of duty and sacrifice.

Clinton has thrown off Gore's people from the Democratic National Committee and replaced them with his own. He has made known that he plans an energetic and influential role in the party. This guy thinks he's Churchill.

While I'm all for the idea of an indelible connection between Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party, many Democrats are less enthusiastic. Reacting to reports that Clinton is jockeying for position as leader of the opposition, The New York Times pleaded for "Elvis" to "leave the building," amid delicate references to "Mr. Clinton's personal baggage."

The media may have overdone that business about Clinton's gargantuan popularity. Despite the best economy any political party has ever been blessed with, Clinton's vice president lost an election that should have been a landslide for any incumbent. A weird personality doesn't explain that.

The demonstrably false report of Clinton's vast unsinkable popularity -- wilder and more intense with every felony he was shown to have committed -- was for consumption by the hoi polloi only. But to everyone's surprise, the only person in America who believes it is Bill Clinton.

Meanwhile, despite the Clinton recession, Hil is out on a wild spending spree, dashing from mansion to mansion to cash in on her years of devoted service to the public. Her political contribution has been to firmly establish the Democratic Party as the party of garish consumption. Forget the analogies to Gingrich -- he was a little bit out of control, but at least he didn't want to hang out with movie stars. Senator Hillary (D-Vanity Fair) is trying to bring back the Roman Empire.

Even liberal media can't paper over this battle of egos.
