I want to visit his funeral after drinking 12 gallons of black coffee, but that's just me.

That is a hilarious mental picture! LOL! Still, I think the ultimate fate for Bill Clinton would be to live to a ripe old age, into his nineties, perhaps.

We had a hint of what is in store for him at Reagan's funeral back in June. We saw the world leaders who took part in the Cold War. We were reminded of the great man and the great man's accomplishments. We were reminded of his character and his optimism.

All of this is stark contrast to Clinton's pathetic attempt to manufacture a legacy or garner momentary attention with his long-winded yet empty book. There he was, at Reagan's funeral, looking as though he had fallen asleep. A wonderful metaphor for his eight years in office, which was marked by scandals, insignificant legislation, and omission. He slept while Al Qaeda grew in strength.

On that day, as Reagan passed into history, the Reagan legacy began to take on a life of its own. I believe it will grow over the years, and Clinton's will diminish. I can't help but think of the movie, "Amadeus," where Salieri laments that Mozart's music becomes louder and louder with each passing year, while his (Salieri's) music grows softer and softer, until no one plays it at all.

No, I want to see Clinton live to a ripe old age.
