It all starts, if you think about it, on Inauguration Day. Would Bill Clinton hold the Bible for his wife? Itd be a lovely tableau, but fraught with ambiguous symbolismis this another twofer? A passing of the torch? An unfortunate reminder she wouldnt be there without him? (None of these ideas is something the first female president of the United States would want to communicate to all posterity.) The questions would continue with the festivities: How are the two Clintons introduced? As the Former and Mrs. President Clinton? Mr. and Mrs. Presidents Clinton? President Clinton and Mr. Clinton? Ask Hillarys staff, and theyll tell you they havent gotten around to thinking about questions of pageantry and protocol, though one aide admits theyre already trying to determine whether shed be Mrs. or Madam President, which is complicated enough. But every Washington insider eventually wonders aloud about these niceties. And, vastly more important, what he would do all day. Presumably, Bill Clinton would not kick off the White House Easter-egg roll. He wouldnt obsess over Christmas-tree decorations. The only traditional First Lady responsibility one could really envision him embracing would be the state dinnersnot the menus themselves (unless the chef could be persuaded to do cheeseburgers, or takeout Chinese) but the hosting part, the part that involves schmoozing and storytelling and the subtle diplomacy of the seating chart. Maybe the press wont cover whats on the menu, finally, says a former Clinton-administration official. Itll be more like what the actual discussions were at the dinner tables.

I've always felt the best way to torpedo Hillary is to rib Bill about his possible "First Lady" status. His ego simply can't take becoming a laughingstock.

Already a laughingstock
to be revisited would be the ultimate disgrace. I dont think his personal ego would survive Hilery being president.
