Ann Coulter looks at the bright side

Ann Coulter, Wikipedia
Ms. Coulter is less than enchanted with John McCain's candidacy.  Nonetheless, I suspect that Ms. Coulter and an overwhelming majority of Republicans would prefer Sen. McCain over Hillary Clinton.

In any case, after contemplating a question from an audience member as to whether there could be any positive aspect associated with both Clintons returning to the White House, Ms. Coulter replied with a smile and offered this gem,

"At least we'd get the silverware back."

Hilarious!

Behaving un-presidential

There's much disapproval of former President Bill Clinton's recent speech-making. When Senator Ted Kennedy is unhappy with the Clintons, it's an unusual time. 

Some criticized Mr. Clinton's bare-knuckled comments to promote his wife's candidacy as "un-presidential". There was an ex-Presidents tradition of leading a muted retirement.

I'm enamored with Mr. Clinton's intelligence, his command of complex issues and I believe he cares about the average citizen.  He's also a fine speaker, gifted politician and a Democrat with some fiscal moorings.  After all, we haven't seen a budget surplus since Bill Clinton left the White House. His peccadilloes aside, one must give him some credit for those balanced budgets

On the other hand, he used the Oval Office like a sex parlor, deceived the American people about it, lied under oath, rented the Lincoln bedroom, pardoned billionaire tax cheat Mark Rich and one could go on.  How consistently did he behave in a "presidential" manner while in office?
