11. Please. We're all wondering if he'll redecorate.
He's not allowed to have cookies anymore, so I doubt he'll bake them.

12. On a serious note, however...
I believe Bill Clinton will be busy being the usual First Whatever's national goodwill ambassador with the extra cache that people will actually ask his advice about things.

What I'm hoping is this will finally force the nation to recognize that the unpaid position of First Lady is NOT dispensible. That it deserves recognition as an actual fucking JOB. I remember being furious that Hillary was denied White House counsel because she wasn't an "employee." First Ladies WORK, even the ones I loathe. Yet they have neither independent income from their labor nor serious recognition of their efforts.

Maybe with a man in the job, there will finally be a change.

14. crashed the Democratic Party before Howard Dean resuscitated it...
Don't get me wrong...I love Bill Clinton and think the entire BJ witchhunt episode was bullshit and am sick that America is so hung up on sex while ignoring violence, but still, Bill Clinton succeeded while not building the national party like he should have.

19. never was.
Chances are good he'll live to see one, though.

Oh, alright; they MIGHT pull it off. The whole thing would be a dreadful idea if they did, but considering the current line-up of opponents, it's hardly out of the question.
