I hope she divorces him. I'm sure he's still hounding around...and it's clear that she just kept him around so she could run for President.
THis joke was much funnier when The Onion did it months ago with Bill running for a third term.
And besides, Hillary would surely be the last superdelegate to declare for Obama. We already know it's easy to lure Bill away from Hillary; he won't be the last Hillarista standing.
Yes, he defected to Obama but only on condition that he is named v.p. and with a cabinet portfolio about the size of the one Gerald Ford was reportedly negotiating for when Ronald Reagan considered tapping him for the second slot in 1980.
Cabinet portfolio? I figured Bill for a "5 new interns a week" kind of guy...shows what I know.
