Do you know that it is still possible to contribute funds to Hilary Clinton's campaign? Or should that be campaign debt? I hate to think what she'll be compelled to charge for future public speaking bookings. In order to pay off her considerable tab, I imagine not an insignificant sum.
The more I see of one old tenant of the Oval Office, the more he reminds me of the goings on in Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings saga. There, any character that wore the famed all powerful ring was forever changed. Post-ring they came across as desperate and grasping, unable to come to terms with their renewed status as mere mortals. Golum would be the most extreme of this. However, even more likeable characters like Bilbo Baggins and Frodo showed some of the downside of absolute power when their time came to give up office. That is, one day you have to give it up.
Bill Clinton does seem to realise that he is no longer Commander In chief. Yet, during his wife's campaign for the Democratic nomination, I could not help but get the impression that somehow a distant scent of "The Ring"" had been picked up by the comparatively recent ex-president.
Could it be that keeping Bill in the public eye has cost Hilary the opportunity to compete for the ultimate prize? Indeed, will she ever now stand a chance of actually baring the ring herself one day?
For the record: did Frodo regret taking Golum on the trip to Mordor?
