Well, at least WJ Clinton Esq. is somewhat qualified for the position.

/ Although I'd recommend Ashley Dupré instead.

I would love to see that just for the sake of seeing the wingnuts' heads assplode.

Hm. I wonder what you'd call him, Senator Clinton, or President Clinton? Senator-President Clinton? And then what would you call him once he gives up the senate seat? Weird. Best just to give it to Al Sharpton and be done with it.

Cyberluddite: I would love to see that just for the sake of seeing the wingnuts' heads assplode.

The freepers would literally be bursting into flames, it would be amazing.

He wouldn't be the first former president to do it. Andrew Johnson returned to the Senate after his term was over. It would be quite fitting in that he was the only other president (besides Clinton) to be impeached.

Cyberluddite: I would love to see that just for the sake of seeing the wingnuts' heads assplode.

Alas, it would only be figurative. I'd prefer Mario Cuomo. There have been enough intern scandals in Congress.

Actually, a better idea would be to let Hillary stay in the Senate and appoint Bill as Secretary of State. He could actually do a pretty damn good job at that. Most of the dirty ferriners love the guy and he could could work well with them--he would do a better job as SofS than he did as President.

I wonder if this would be the first time Bill filled Hillary's seat?

So is one of the New York Senate seats going to be the "celebrity seat" from now on?

I'm a semi repub, and IMHO, this would be a good thing. He probably won't do it because it is such a PITA compared to what he is doing now, but I think he would do a great job.

/just sayin

She has something in her seat. If it ain't Bill, she needs an operation to remove the stick.

Frankly, I'm not sure why he would want it. After being president, being just one of a hundred is not such a great deal. If they want to go the caretaker route, Mario Cuomo is a better option, IMHO.

Aarontology: So is one of the New York Senate seats going to be the "celebrity seat" from now on?

Yes, because Bill Clinton has no credentials or qualifications.

Up next: Senator Charles Nelson Riley Kennedy Clinton

Eddie Adams from Torrance: Aarontology: So is one of the New York Senate seats going to be the "celebrity seat" from now on?

Yes, because Bill Clinton has no credentials or qualifications.

I never said that he doesn't. I'm sure he would do a fine job as Senator. I just find it odd that the immediate speculation as to who will replace Hillary automatically went to a Kennedy, and now to another Clinton. Especially after Hillary basically chose New York her first time because it's a safe Dem seat she could easily win because of name recognition.

'Senators get interns right? Amiright? Hmmmm..'

King Pimp

Bill should be Ambassador to the UN. Bill has pretty much partied out most of the continental US, he may as well party hearty with whores from around the globe.

FSCKTASTIC
a double dose of clap.
this has to be unconstitutional, somehow

DeadZone: Aarontology: So is one of the New York Senate seats going to be the "celebrity seat" from now on?


Its been going on since Tweed and before that. Its a big State(city) with a lot of money and influence.

Because if it's something you don't like, it must be unconstitutional?

Why is it that Freepers will rant and rant about how judges and legislators should follow the constitution, but apparently have never read it themselves?

The fellow was impeached, and he's probably a crook.

True, but his controversal "Tear the Roof Off This Sucka" policies might alienate some folks.

Well, true. It just appears that some groups aren't look at his resume, and instead only his name. That's where I take issue.

Really, this shouldn't bother me all that much as I'm not a New Yorker, but it does.

Yes, but never convicted, so innocent until proven guilty, no?

If America were Ancient Rome, I wonder what the populace would make of slick willy and his antics.

It's gotta be a better choice than Caroline.

If Ashley Dupree were old enough, that is who I would like to see. Her 15 minutes went by too fast...

Raskolnikov's Angst: If America were Ancient Rome, I wonder what the populace would make of slick willy and his antics.

They'd probably be stunned at a) his remarkable display of (relative) monogamy, and b) the fact that he's not gay.

No, he won't. Sheesh!

Cyberluddite: I would love to see that just for the sake of seeing the wingnuts' heads assplode.

Doesn't bother me the way it would Caroline. There are no questions on President Clinton's qualifications and he has actually ran successfull campaigns in the past.

/Do the Wingnuts like him again? They branded him a racist has-been womanizer while he was helping his wife run against the Messiah.

Bubba would be considered a lightweight

Nemo's Brother:

Wingnuts calling PBC a racist??? Wasn't it the Obama supporters doing that? Might want to double check your facts... I'm just sayin.

So Teddy won't be the only senator to show up with no pants.

I just read the constitution and the amendments. I don't see anything preventing this from happening.

OK now this is getting much too silly here..

Which part of the Constitution would it violate? Be specific, please.

Should I bother checking back or will you disappear with your tail between your lying legs?

I haven't heard any mention of Howard Stern

Raskolnikov's Angst: If America were Ancient Rome, I wonder what the populace would make of slick willy and his antics.

Bill Clinton would be considered effeminate in Ancient Rome.

I mean come on, he was the unquestioned leader of the largest military force on the surface of the Earth, with the ability to fry entire nations at the flick of a finger...

...and he only screwed one frikkin' chubby intern chick?

Come on now... a REAL man would have had orgies with all of the wives and daughters of his Republican rivals captured and brought in naked to serve him peeled grapes.

And hell... the Republicans themselves are all no better than frikkin' eunichs.

JSTACAT:

There is nothing unconstitutional about PBC being appointed and serving as a Senator of New York provided he is a resident of the state (for a period of time determined by the state of New York). President John Adams served as a Congressman from Massachusetts after serving as President.

In the bigger picture, it really doesn't matter if Patterson appoints BC to be Senator. Gov. Patterson was going to name a Democrat to fill a Democrat held seat (no complaints, or gripes), so the numbers in the Senate don't change. It really doesn't matter which Dem is named to fill the seat, on most major issues, the vote will be the same.

Aarontology: HighOnCraic: Why not? He's got decades of experience in Parliament.

True, but his controversal "Tear the Roof Off This Sucka" policies might alienate some folks. The disbarred lawyer named Bill Clinton makes so much more sense.

// ok maybe not, you know, in the scripture of the, you know, constitution itself, you know, but surely in the spirit of the Law, you know?
If we are to endure, you know, a weenie swagger just, you know, slifting into a power position like that, you know, with no supervision, You Know?
shouldnt there be, you know, a vote or at least, you know, some sort of cleanliness process? You Know?


// any excuse, you know, really


well, you know, its looking like Blajgoggyvitch is getting off, you know, scot free...
in which case, doncha know it, maybe clinton is not -exactly-, you know, a crook

So if Bubba gets this seat, can't we just count him as 2 votes and have our super majority? He just seems to have more sway. And plus, we owe him on account he got short changed because of cigargate.

What?

If i should ever be elected to that hill...
i have but one person to fear..

JSTACAT:

Not sure what you are trying to say. I am a Republican, very Conservative if you need to know. I just don't see what the big deal with Bill Clinton being named Senator of New York is; in this environment. Gov. Patterson is going to name a Democrat to that seat, it is the law of New York giving him the power to name HRC's successor.... I just don't see a legitimate reason to get all worked up over "what might happen."

As for Gov. Blogo, well, that is a different story and one that is currently a Dems mess to deal with.
