Commentary: The odd persistence of Clinton Inc.
CBS News ^ | 3/20/2017 | Will Rahn

The Clintons, America’s foremost would-be presidential dynasty, are apparently sticking around. Chelsea Clinton has new children’s book in the works. It’s called “She Persisted,” a title provided by kid favorite Mitch McConnell.

Chelsea also has a Twitter account with over 1.5 million followers – some of whom, we must assume, are actual living human beings. Her tweets, Politico tells us, are proof of a “spicy and sarcastic online personality” that has emerged since her mother’s defeat.

But it’s not just Chelsea; Hillary persists as well. She said last week that she wants to “come out of the woods” and rejoin public life. There are also now at least two movies in production about her life, and that’s not including the various dramatizations of the 2016 election we’ve been threatened with.

One concerns her brief fish-gutting days in Valdez, Alaska, after graduating from Wellesley in 1969. Being Hillary, she’s told a few different versions of the story over the years, which should provide the screenwriter with a little extra room for creative license.

There must be an audience for all this Clinton stuff, right? I’m no actuary, but if “Hillary Clinton: Fishmonger” costs very little to make, and everyone on the Upper West Side buys a ticket to see it, maybe it could make a modest profit?

Meanwhile, The Hill, a particularly traffic-savvy online outlet, writes up just about everything Chelsea tweets. There must be people who click these stories, if only because they keep getting written.

Yet the Clintons have been unusually immune to the laws of supply and demand. The Democratic Party, in its questionable wisdom, made a conscious decision to discourage primary challengers to Hillary in 2016. Her most recent memoir, the one with the title you can’t quite remember, earned her a $14 million advance only

It’s not odd at all. This is a family comprised of large political egos who all actually believe that America cares about tp what they want to talk about. While the country has moved on, Hillary and her daughter, who’s never had to really work a day in her life, actually believe people,want them back in the public eye. Couple this with sycophant handlers and hangers on and you further feed their ignorant egos. I say bring it on.

Just one acronym - RICO. Use the provisions of that set of statutes to go after the Clinton Crime Family, and wipe out every vestige of their potential influence for all time.

Were any of that clan actually accomplished in anything but used car sales, one might be able to generate a smidgeon of understanding.

Bill: a lying rapist with a veneer of civility.
Hillary: A lying grifter with no measurable talent for anything save drinking. Couldn’t get a job at McDs had she not somehow boinked the rapist.
Chelsea: The very definition of a nothing burger. She’d have trouble finding a car on a NYC street.

Chelsea is less socially competent than her mother.

Bring her on.

They should call the movie Hillary Clinton: Fishwife in tribute to Mark Twain's "Tale of the Fishwife and its Sad Fate" (in his essay on "The Awful German Language").

There is much speculation, (oddly, on the left), that Hillary’s statement about being ready to “come out of the woods,” really refers to her wanting to simply “come out” as lesbian, already.

“They persist like the clap.”

It’s funny because it’s true.

Leeches to the bitter end.

There is only one thing the Clintons won't do, and that is GO AWAY.
