Clinton wants hubby off limits to others

We’ll let you make up your own joke about this headline, but the message this week from the Clinton campaign was clear: Sen. Hillary Clinton is telling her fellow Demo presidential competitors that they’d better not mess with Bill. After last week’s dustup with Barack Hussein Obama and David Geffen, Clinton’s campaign wants it clear that no one is allowed to bring up his impeachment or his numerous ethical lapses in judgment. If they do, they will incur all the wrath that her minions can muster, which we believe is quite a bit.

True to Hillary’s nature, she wants to have it both ways. She wants free rein to talk up the good things of his administration (which should not take long), but not allow anyone to talk about the bad (which should carry us into the 2012 election season). Of course, anything injected into the public debate is fair game. If Hillary wants to wax nostalgic about the good old days of the 1990s, then her opponents have every right to remind voters that those good old days were not as good as they seemed.

In other campaign news, former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack withdrew from the race for the Demo presidential nomination this week, citing an inability to compete with big money names like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. That would explain why we didn’t realize he was running until he announced his decision to drop out. Like Sen. Evan Bayh, who also dropped out recently, Vilsack realized he would be unable to raise enough money to fight in what is increasingly becoming a front-loaded nomination schedule.
