Bill de Blasio’s swearing-in event will feature two of the biggest names in Democratic politics: former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Clinton himself will officially swear in Mr. de Blasio next Wednesday afternoon, the mayor-elect’s transition team announced Saturday.
Ms. Clinton is widely viewed as a front-running presidential contender in 2016–although she hasn’t declared her intent to run–and every move she makes is watched closely by political observers.
During the election, Ms. Clinton held a prominent fund-raiser for Mr. de Blasio, who was the campaign manager for her U.S. Senate race in 2000. He also previously worked as a HUD official in Mr. Clinton’s administration.
In a statement today, Mr. de Blasio said he “couldn’t be more excited” to have the two at his event.

Hillary is trying to appear more leftist, I take it. I guess she hopes some of the De Blasio red will rub off on her.
We need a counter-revolution.
Leftists of a feather flock together. Don’t try to palm that rancid ex-First Lady, ex-Senator, ex-Sec. of State off on the nation as a “moderate”, you lying media lap dogs. She was an Alinsky follower since her college days and is a fellow traveler with de Blasio. There is absolutely nothing ‘moderate” about that.
“Hillary is trying to appear more leftist, I take it. I guess she hopes some of the De Blasio red will rub off on her.”
Or she just wants to date his wife.
Matt Drudge on Twitter: Rehabilitation of Clinton crosses into Looney Tunes. Contempt of court, law license suspended 5 years, impeached! Now swearing in NYC mayor?
More political posturing...
Yes...the far left is not all that enthused about Hillary these days...they’d rather have Elizabeth Warren. Thus the need for the Clintons to pull stunts like this.
A Commie sworn in by a perjurer; how screwed is New York City?
High water mark of communism in America.
All the good commie need to be there.
Like Herpes, Clinton never goes away. How can we ever miss him if he never leaves.
Benghazi blood all over Ms What Does It Matter!
Good. Within two years, there will be a lot of New Yorkers who will be regretting their votes and guilt by association will be a very good thing.
Forgoing the traditional post swearing in fireworks, rolling the ceremony the mayoral party will be treated to the flash mob looting of a local mall ...
Following, not rolling.
Stupid autocorrect ...
The disgraced Bill Clinton, impeached and disbarred, and his wife, Benghazi Bertha.
Wow a communist being sworn in by two socialists, one of them a impeached president who was also disbarred! Yup That will bring a hell of a lot of gravitas to the proceedings.
Guess they don’t care he is a card carrying communist.
IF-—big IF-—you watch this sideshow, you’ll need a large economy size Pepto to neutralize all the “tolerance and compassion” treacle that will be oozing outta this lefty bunch.
Just remember the old saying-—”there’s always a sap-happy liberal willing to say they are for their fellow-man——hoping to make a buck on it.”
This is good news!
When NYC falls into utter chaos, sometime around 2014, month 6, then that photo of them together will be a priceless albatross in 2016.
