The laugh is on the right wingers who tried to destroy Bill Clinton. He's happy, he's wildly successful, he's loved around the world, and he's swoony.

better than any politician since at least FDR, but probably ever. One of the sad things about our current era was seeing people compare Obama to Clinton, actually favorably for Obama. That was the point when it was obvious people were losing their minds.

And as much fun as it was to watch, there was no way that a sitting POTUS could've done that. It takes the attack dogs to assist, so I'm sure we'll see some fire out of VPOTUS as well.

BUT he is the best political communicator since JFK. I swear the Big Dawg could sell snow to Eskimos and go back next year to sell them the freezers to keep it in. He is an Enlightened Master of public speaking.

white male adult right? Mr. mittytwit called our President boy, got a problem with that? I got a real problem with that boy running for President from the Repug Party. He's a coward, liar, with no moral center brought up with silver spoons in his ass, mouth, ears, nose! I have nothing but the most serious loathing for this despicable rich boy calling himself a man.

That that elitist, psychopathic liar Rmoney needed.

That word zinged mitt perfectly, especially in the folksy way big dog delivered it. The press cannot say a Bill was being cruel as it could otherwise have. Perfect.
