“...rapidly eclipsed by an untested arriviste 15 years his junior.”

Well, Bill Clinton would sure know THIS description!

As far as the media giving anyone a pass, they did that for Bill’s entire political career until just lately!

Get over it Willie, your time expired long ago and you’re just figuring it out! Hope you saved your money. Those guest speaker fees just dried up.

and is still one of the greatest speakers and political strategists in America.

Please, stop, Mr. Reid. You know American politics like I know the shopping in Chelseaford-upon-Avonshire. Clinton was the best Dem huckster running in '92, and his acting skills and lack of conscience stood him in good stead, but Perot elected him, and Bill's failed middle-class tax cut and Hillarity's incarceratory health care "reform" and Bill's gays in our military elected the Gingrich Congress of '94.

Clonkton's most successful "strategy" was to allow Reagan's Cold War victory and the baby boom's near-simultaneous discovery of the stock market and the internet drive a bubbly economy that tamped down the various Muslim terrorist eruptions, while he hunted for chubby/middle-aged oral sex in the White House hallways and bathrooms. It worked for six years, somehow, but the (Democrat) press finally did begin to point out that Arkansas is as Arkansas does.

osamabama is starting to fade... he will lose to the beast... and the fact that the msm uses the biggest lie (and now debunked by a massive majority of scientists) propagated on the western world (globull warming) to prove a point about the empty suit with dumbo ears, proves that there is no "there" there. The media will turn on him when the timing is right.

...his wife is the “best change-maker I’ve ever seen in my entire life”...

If I were the wife of a serial adulterer and I was the “best change-maker” I might consider using my powers to change my husband’s behavior. That Hillary has not done so suggests her powers of change aren’t as well-developed as Bill suggests.

Yep, and the end run around the Constitution HAS been the plan since the 1990s. The one thing they hadn’t counted on was the fluke of Obama.

“What has frustrated Mr Clinton the most, his aides say, is what he believes has been the “free pass” the media has given Mr Obama.”

This has got to be the most laughable statement EVER WRITTEN by anyone in the press, after giving the Clintons a free pass their entire political career.

Yet there is a powerful sense that Mr Clinton is not just fighting for her, or even for his own legacy, but against a galling sense of injustice that his status in the Democratic Party as its swaggering baby-boom hero is being rapidly eclipsed by an untested arriviste 15 years his junior. One of Mr Obama's central arguments has been that the Clintons are part of the problem, central characters in the villainous partisanship of the 1990s, figures from the past against his promise of a new, less divisive future.

This loss is going to cost the Clinton Chinese Mafia over a $Billion in Graft.

The rapist should watch his back around hillary’s people. “Widow” Clinton could make a huge comeback with sympathy voters.

It is amazing that there is a word for almost everything.

There's no word for hitting the "red" on every one of a long row of synchronized stoplights.

The clintons are retreads. Old, tired, nothing new to offer, just the same swindling, reckless, negligent, scandalous, arrogant, pompous, petty, vicious politics of personal destruction, whining, and bitterness.

Send her home to Bill.

Must be really crushing to Bill that his wonder shtick no longer works.
