The Clinton Meltdown: Village Idiot

FORGET Congress’s reaction to the President’s perjuries, obstructions of justice, and violation of his oath of office. Bill Clinton’s ultimate fate is thought to rest with a jury of one. Following his contrition tour, Washington eagerly awaits a public absolution from his wife for his latest violation of their marriage vows. The media expect that Hillary will declare at some point that Bill remains fit for marriage, thus neatly placing his “just sex” offenses in the private sphere of their bizarre marriage.

The state of the Clintons’ marriage is of course irrelevant to Congress’s examination of the President’s all-too-public crimes, but the White House hopes that the First Lady’s open support will intimidate Members of Congress who persist in criticizing her husband’s “private behavior.” Come the day of reckoning, Hillary Clinton should be named an “unimpeached co-conspirator” for her longstanding role in abetting his illicit sex and ongoing lies.
