Wall Street Journal ^ | Dec. 15, 2007 | DOUGLAS W. KMIEC

Hillary Clinton's commanding lead in the polls has diminished, and with Oprah Winfrey stumping for Barack Obama, she's called increasingly on the "star power" of husband Bill. But the ubiquitous presence of the former president on the campaign prompts a question: What will Hillary do with Bill if she is elected?

If he has the votes to get confirmed he could be a Supreme Court Justice. Nothing we can do about it.

>I thought Hillary already said she would appoint him World Ambassador or something.

LOL! Sorry, that just struck me as funnier than Hell.

Why can’t we just appoint him the ambassador to the Moon and send him there?
With Jimmy Carter as his chief of staff ...

Nope. An ex-president who had his law license revoked for perjury will NEVER be confirmed.

This would make a great campaign slogan.

Do you have to have a law license to be a justice?

No. You don't even have to be a lawyer.

If he gets vetted like every other nominee his drug use would be an automatic exclusion.

It would seem worse to be a disbarred attorney, than not an attorney at all. The latter seems like a plus, given what we get from most of them.

And the bozos at the RNC who call me for money, are even more clueless

We certainly agree on that.

And the sheeple in the ranks are nowhere as nutty as the completely out of touch K street, ivory tower elites who make up the leadership of the GOP today.
They still do not understand 06.

They know that something happened, but they cannot find a way to repackage their message so as to exclude another total disaster, and they are unwilling or unable to really fundamentally change, so they are like a deer caught in the headlights; knowing something awful is rushing toward them, but unable to move, or to do anything about it.

He can talk anyone’s pants off (ask Monica).

Just being technical here, but it wasn't Monica's pants that were around her ankles. :)

That may sound funny, but I swear she said that a few months ago!

No, no, these people are already prepared as lobbyists to earm millions in a HRC presidency. They are ready to let their colleagues be the majority again.

Perhaps Hillary could have him stuffed and keep him in the hall closet.

She’s serious about that.

If she gets in the White House he will cirlce to globe collecting bribes and selling out America — count on it.

Bubba has always lived in the State of Denial - he should be afraid of Shrillery being elected.

Right now, he serves a purpose - as he has all these years, to get her to the WH.

Once there, Bubba is 'expendable', like so many others in their past. He may suffer another heart attack - so easy.

Does anyone actually believe she's about to share the power and prestige - or be overshadowed by Bubba's higher appeal.

Not likely. She and Mara Hari Muslim Huma will reign supreme

I think more likely he'll be sent to a Marcy Park type place - his usefulness will be over should she ever set foot back in the WH.

What a great idea! Justice Bill-ze-Bubba could then finally tell us what the meaning of the word is is. The truth is, he wouldn’t do any more harm on the Supreme Court than anyone else Hillary would appoint, which is unfortunately quite a lot of harm.
