Like Bill Clinton? Don't Like Bill Clinton? Well, read this:

That should cover most of you.

This op-ed from the Christian Science Monitor outlines a scenario whereby Bill could become President again.

While the 12th Amendment says "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president shall be eligible to that of vice president of the United States," and the 22nd Amendment bars individuals from being "elected to the office of the president more than twice," the op-ed's authors argue:


In preventing individuals from being elected to the presidency more than twice,
the [22nd] amendment does not preclude a former president from again assuming
the presidency by means other than election, including succession from the vice
presidency. If this view is correct, then Clinton is not "constitutionally
ineligible to the office of president," and is not barred by the 12th Amendment
from being elected vice president.
Interesting, amusing - and rather unlikely. Remember Bill's boast in 1992 -- "Elect me, and you get Hillary as a bonus"? Could you imagine Hillary offering a similar "bargain" in '08? Neither can I.

George Bush sings "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

For a Blog opener, I really don't think this can be beat.
