A very appropriate choice, since Bill Clinton knows better than anyone how to use the Constitution as a layer of teflon.

“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly… that they would work for the common good, as well as for the individual welfare… However, now there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.” – Bill Clinton, April 19, 1995

`If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.’’ -- President Bill Clinton, August 12, 1993

``The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people’’ –- Bill Clinton during an interview on MTV in 1993

``We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans…that we forget about reality.’’ -- President Bill Clinton, quoted in USA Today, March 11, 1993, Page 2A, ``NRA change: `Omnipotent to powerful’’’ by Debbie Howlett

“Bill Clinton has been named the next chairman of the National Prostitution Center in Philadelphia”
At least, that’s what he thought they said.

Rev Wright could take that job:

September 9, 2008 (From Moonbattery blog)

"Reverend Wright Sex Scandal

It's a relief to know that Barack Obama's pastor and mentor for 20 years, the venom-spitting racist demagogue Jeremiah Wright, doesn't hate everything to do with white people. White neighborhoods are okay, and now we hear from the New York Post that he likes white women too:

Elizabeth Payne, 37, said she had a steamy sexual affair with the controversial, racially divisive man of the cloth while she was an executive assistant at a church headed by a popular Wright protégé.
When word of the unholy alliance got out, Payne's husband dumped her, and she was canned from the plum job at Friendship-West Baptist Church, she told The Post.

The Rev is an old pro at home-wrecking:

Wright has been married to his second wife, Ramah, for more than 20 years.
The preacher reportedly wooed Ramah away from her first husband in the 1980s, when the couple came to marriage counseling at Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Wright reportedly promised Elizabeth that he would dump Ramah, but it was Elizabeth who was promptly kicked to the curb by her husband Fred when he learned of the affair, just as Wright himself was thrown under the bus by another protégé, even after the Obamessiah had proclaimed, 'I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother.'

No wonder leftists trust only in the Government. Their personal relationships aren't very durable."

It’s like putting Micheal Moore in charge of protecting the Twinkee supply.

I was stationed in the Washington area with the Air Force but never made the trip to Monticello. My wife and I corrected that oversight a few years ago. In the intervening years I had become deeply concerned with the course America was taking.

After visiting the beautiful home in which Mr. Jefferson – due to his service to the nation he helped create – spent but a few years, we made our way to the small family cemetery down the hill from the house. We were the only ones there and as we approached, I felt myself overcome with emotion. Not certain where that emotion would take me, I asked my wife to go on to the car.

As I stood reading the modest inscription on his headstone, I wept. For Mr. Jefferson. For ALL of the 56.

And for America.

Bill Clinton Named Chairman of Constitution Center

Impeached.
Disbarred.

Maybe he was appointed by the Constitution Center to show the
resilience of the USA even with such a dictionary example of
moral turpitude and corruption as The Commander-In-Chief.

Sort of along the lines of the suggestion of Rush Limbaugh
(years ago) that we need to make sure at least one Communist
country should be maintained "as is" so the world could see
what the fruits of Communism were.
Someplace like Albania.

It should be renamed

the “Randy Constitution Center”

as in

Bill “I’ve-got-a-randy-constitution” Clinton

or perhaps try a double entendre with

the “Perverted Constitution Center”

as in

Bill “I’ve-got-a-perverted-constitution” Clinton.
