Now this is more like it!
In a spellbinding performance of extraordinary audacity, Bill Clinton did not so much rewrite history as transport it to a parallel universe.
Nailed!

Watched the replay of this last night on C-Span and Clinton is STILL biting his lips and thinking he's all too cute by half. Was really ticked off when Clinton said: There's the compassion side of the GOP and the conservative side of the GOP. We HEAR the compassion side but they are really conservative and we need to remember that. The entire audience erupted into wild applause and Tony Blair was laughing and clapping all too enthusiastically. Didn't sleep well after that - very grouchy today.

They were not so much eating out of his hand as all but throwing their underwear at him. Perfect.

It's nice to see that not all Brits are falling all over x42 in a slobbering display of Blubba worship:
Just as I'm thinking that it's time to be somewhere else, enjoying corporately funded titbits and Shiraz - somewhere showing a bit of private finance initiative in short - the place goes into an uproar, a dozen security men the shape of sugar cubes appear from nowhere, and Tony and Cherie Blair arrive in company with Bill Clinton. And not only that but Bill Clinton's hand is out and my hand is in it.
Grown men and women of principle and restraint are said to lose their heads when they come within a mile of Clinton, so I reckon there must be something wrong with me because all I can think about are the chains on his shoes, the queer north American indian bead bracelet he is wearing, and the fact that he looks like some large disproportioned bird, hitherto presumed to be extinct. The dodo, or something similar.
Click on The Guardian for the entire article.
And check this out: rumor (or rumour) has it that x42 was paid by the Labourites for his appearance, per the last paragraph of this article.

America once had founding founders. It now has shameless sons. In a spellbinding performance of extraordinary audacity, Bill Clinton did not so much rewrite history as transport it to a parallel universe. A serial philanderer, unprincipled operator and habitual rogue managed to repackage himself as a cross between an Old Testament prophet, college professor and international statesman Thanks for the Ping
I HATE CLINTON!!!

Even when they're chopping him up I get ill. I wish he would just go away or die or something.

In an article FULL of great lines, this was one of my favorites:
The comeback kid became the throwback kid in a triumph for charm over credibility, revisionism over record and chutzpah over substance.

The only good Brit is one that became a US citizen.
They become very conservative.
Kinda' like a male dog that doesn't like his ass being sniffed by another male dog.
Let me alone... and get your nose out of...

Millbank officials were quick to deny rumours Mr Clinton had been paid handsomely for the speech but even as the presidential pelvis left the building, conference TV screens flashed up the message: "Clinton Speech Video Available NOW £10."If so, he's breaking the law, again.

You're a better person than I am; I cannot watch. I'd stroke out.
