The question that has dogged Hillary Clinton for years - long before she even announced her intention to run for the White House - is what role would be played by her husband, that mercurial, impulsive and unpredictable former president, if she won? After all, he does have something of a history.
Now we know the answer. Mrs Clinton has revealed that if she wins the battle to be president, her husband will be dispatched as far away from the White House as possible; his role will be roaming ambassador with a remit to repair America's tattered image around the world.
"I can't think of a better cheerleader for America than Bill Clinton, can you?" the Democratic senator from New York told a crowd in Iowa, where she was campaigning this weekend. "He has said he would do anything I asked him to do. I would put him to work."
Mrs Clinton's plan has both positive and negative points. Setting her husband off with a global mission would give him some focus while allowing her to concentrate on running the country. It would also help her to dismiss criticisms that he was meddling in affairs of state. And it would also allow Mrs Clinton to shape the presidency as her project, rather than it being just the third instalment of the Clinton saga.

As I was channel-surfing, I caught the last comment on Larry King’s interview with the Liar-in-Chief last night. King actually asked, “Do you still love her?” and of course, Billy Jeff answered, “Yes, I do,” without missing a beat. What did King think he would say...”No, I don’t”? These gratuitous interviews with the conniving Clintons will be the death of news shows.
Clinton would be the “Bag Man”. No, not that kind. The kind who would see how many interns he could bag in 24 hours.
What, Al Goldstein and Al Sharpton weren't available?
What about Pauly Shore?
Ambassador to Canada's women
Hillary will make Bill “roving ambassador.” That’s pushing fate.
Chelsea? Secretary of Treasury?
Roger? Head of NASA?
“Pimp My Ride” bump!
Could you be a little less subtle?
If Hillery get in, watch the move to get BJBilly appointed to the leadership of the UN.
I know it is against the standing rules of the UN, but rules seldom get in the way of the Klintons.
Well, how about Monica Lewinsky? Maybe she could go along as co-cheerleader.
No need for Senate confirmation when a position is just made up.
She just killed even more support from Hollywood, who have extreme Clinton fatigue.
Larry King is still alive? Are you sure it’s not some animatronic contraption? (Not that it would be easy to tell anyway....)
A Clintonista in the Oval Office would be a violation of the spirit of the XXII Amendment. Would be the same as Bill Clinton serving more than two terms.
It will be easy to lose weight for a large portion of the population....(Bulmic epidemic)
