I keep seeing the "Bill Clinton for President" TV ad, is he running again? Oh, and some African American guy walks by at the end.

Someone who has more skill than I do needs to photoshop Bill and Obama's faces into this pic:

Actually, Gene Wilder kinda does look a little like Clinton in that pic.

I had a hunch... so I googled, and sure enough...

I have been assured that when Obama affects a southern drawl, it's racist. If he speaks in a voice other than that of a wealthy white man he makes people uncomfortable, and it's therefore racist when he does it.

Fortunately I don't need to see these people on a regular basis. Which is good, because they're still sore from me laughing at and mocking them.

Bill wouldn't ask that. He would ask " Where are all the fat white women at?"

I love me some Bubba, but he is a chubby chaser

Not always. Paula Jones may have been a butterface, but at least she wasn't fat:

Solon Isonomia		2012-10-31 03:20:00 PM

I do admit the "no holds barred" nature of this campaign has led to the awesomeness of Clinton and Biden just being themselves. It's not always productive, but damn it's entertaining.

Ever since he became President, Omaba also cannot say that 'white people drive like this' without it being racist.

HellRaisingHoosier		2012-10-31 03:22:17 PM

Gloves-off-Clinton is awesome.
The should send James Carville around all the Southern States and Stephanopoulos out to the West.

Is there a current Republican version of Clinton? A man who sort of can bring in outsiders and soothe their fears while holding the base together with ease?

No. Maybe Reagan.

Well, there is nothing stopping Romney from using Bush Sr/Jr on his campaign too, so it's all fair....

I doubt a zombie would be soothing any fears.

kumanoki: "So, uh...we're going to Denny's after this, right?"

Well, Obama certainly isn't going to take Clinton to Denny's, of all places. Because if he did, they would probably make him pay up front, before he even ordered.

kumanoki		2012-10-31 03:30:53 PM

Regardless of whether you like or despise CLinton, his public persona is stuff of legends.

The current Republican party isn't interested in soothing fears.

bwilson27		2012-10-31 03:32:06 PM

After Obama wins, he's going to appoint Clinton as head of the Dept. of Awesome.

imontheinternet		2012-10-31 03:32:47 PM

Good call. If anybody knows how to close, it's Bill Clinton.

GameSprocket		2012-10-31 03:33:29 PM

Can you imagine a Clinton/Biden road trip? That needs to be made into a movie. They could use the car from Smokey and the Bandit.

Came to say this. The man is an excellent speaker and incredibly bright.

Even more so when contrasted with the temper-tantrums the GOP players have been throwing for four years.

Maybe it's just that Clinton has been through eight years of the GOP's childish shiat and he's all, "This is me not giving a fark about your noise".

Cyberluddite		2012-10-31 03:41:14 PM

Philip Francis Queeg: Newt thinks he's the Republican Clinton.

Well, Newt does seem to bang a bunch of vapid women who aren't his wife, so he does have that in common with Clinton.

Used to be McCain until he decided an octogenarian presidency was preferential to standing up for what he actually believed in.

Nah, not necessarily. Bill just goes for low-hanging fruit. Chubby? C'mere, let Ol' Bill talk to ya. Paula? Bless your heart, you ain't the prettiest thing, but that's OK.

Combine his charisma with the fact that he has demonstrably low standards, and you start to understand that Bill likes the sure thing.

JFK's idea of a Perfect 10 was Marilyn. Bill's is a 4 and two 3's.
