OMG…this is a riot. It is so funny ’cause it is so true…
Amusing – but how long will it last? If there is one thing we know about BJ, he’ll be chomping at the bit within a matter of months, if not weeks. He has a huge ego that doesn’t play second to anyone. Can you imagine BJ lowering his inflated self-worth and running his statements by Shrill’s staff prior to release? LOL! I don’t care who you are, power shifts like this never go smoothly. I believe the HillBill Campaign Amusement Park is opening early this election season…
I think that Hillary should sue Bill for divorce. That would neutralize any further “bimbo eruptions”. It would let Bill get back his freedom of speech by freeing him from Shrillary’s “veto”. And it would be a ceremonial and legal milestone marking the official beginning of “Hillary’s time”.
If Hillary sues Bill for divorce, she could purge herself of the charge that she can’t get anywhere without her husband. She would endear herself to the majority of Americans whose marriage has ended in divorce. She would become a single mother! She would be free to find a new Vince Foster-type to date! It would be bigger than Brad and Angelina!
She could say to the American electorate that she always was the true power behind the throne, and that the proof of this is that while her husband was running for office, it was proudly asserted that a vote for Bill was a vote for Hillary- and that we, the lucky electorate, could score big and get “two for the price of one.”
But now that Hillary is running for the Presidency in her own right, a divorce would help to allay a wary electorate’s fears of Bill Clinton by saying emphatically that a vote for Hill is not- repeat: NOT! a vote for Bill.
Hillary should consider the option of divorcing herself from the Clinton Presidency by divorcing President Clinton.
At the very least, she could resume the use of her maiden name- and then her girlhood dream of “Rodham For President” would come true at last!
Yes, but does the pants suit go with the strap on?
The time for divorcing BJ is long since past. If she had booted him in the late 90′s she would have stood a chance for 2008. Doing it now would be bad form, even for her. Plus, it would prove too distracting from her campaign. Her best option is to try to keep him and his ego in check…and that will not be easy.
I’m not too sure that it is too late. In fact, it might be too early. It would certainly have been too early to do this back in the late nineties – if for no other reason than that Shrillary truly cannot get anywhere politically without her husband!
But she did have her husband, and she does stand a chance of being nominated to run for the Presidency. Politically, Hillary has arrived, and now her husband is an expendable superfluity whose departure would awaken a new interest in the new Hillary. The new Hillary would excite all kinds of new supporters- Hillary would be transformed, would be repristinated into a secondary political virginity!
If she wanted, she could politicize the divorce herself- she could say that she felt it to be her patriotic duty to learn to lead her life on her own without Bill in order to cultivate the self-reliance demanded of all leaders.
And when she goes down in defeat, Hillary Rodham can blame “the Clinton factor.”
OMG Hugh! lol
Sax, I’m usually pretty good with wisecracks, but you’ve left me speechless. I bow before the master!
DubInDallas, do you support Hillary?
Hell no! Are you kidding? I hate her as much as the wacko left hates George W. Bush! I support President George W. Bush, and I would be thrilled if he were succeeded by Condoleeza Rice or George Allen or Jeb Bush.
I’m new to the neighborhood, so I guess that you don’t know me. But I am an archetypal George Bush Republican. I regard the President as I would an idealized older brother.
And I love big brother! For real!
Oh, that’s good!
You were offering all of that marital advice for Hillary, so I thought I would ask. 
At first, I was only joking about Hillary suing Bill for a divorce. But the idea had so many obvious merits that I wouldn’t be surprised if she were to do it!
Dub I took your first post as tongue in cheek as opposed to where Slick Willy prefers them.
Shrillary will never divorce BJ. The one thing she covets more than anything is the Oval Office for herself. While a divorce may gain her a certain sapphic support it costs her with us regular Americans. And regulat Americans are who she needs in order to fulfill her fondest desires.
Hillary, with that said please consult Marvin Mitchelson immediately
Rush Limbaugh said that emotional satisfaction has now become the liberals’ substitute for victory. And I think that he is right. Once upon a time, I do think that Hillary coveted the Oval Office for herself more than anything else. But now, what she covets most for herself is an emotionally satisfying way to resolve her own life’s story.
And where once it was the case that actual victory was the true prerequisite for her true emotional satisfaction , it now is the case that Hillary would be more happy with a resoundingly beautiful loss- a poignant “moral victory” – for in liberal circles the true way to the very top is to lose beautifully.
And the most beautiful loss of all is a “moral victory( the heroic deaths of an Alamo, for instance)”. Rush Limbaugh also said that “nuttiness is now the standard of seriousness” for the liberals. These lunatics command respect in their demented circles precisely to the degree that they are willing to lose everything for some insane notion.
The insane notion-monger is taken seriously to the degree of “nuttiness” he exemplifies in his own person. He has learned the astonishing power of what Hitler called “the Big Lie”- and that humans are more apt to die for ideas that they do not understand than they are to live ideals that they do.
The liberals know that they are now literally outnumbered. They know that they are on the wrong side of history, and yet they tell themselves that if the Americans do not elect any of them to anything again, it will be the American people who have failed, and not they.
And if Hillary wants this loss to be a moral victory, she should divorce Bill. And if that puts off “us regular Americans” (of which I am a proud member), so much the better!
Hillary should do a “truth campaign”- she should resurrect the ’60′s “Politics Of Joy”.
People would regard Hillary’s decision to divorce Bill a “nutty” thing to do at this juncture in her life. But to her base, this “nutty” thing to do is a sign that she is “serious” about her candidacy. Her kooks will be thrilled that at last their cries are receiving the full amplification that even Democratic candidates denied them in the past!
And why did those avowed liberals avoid them in the past, and why did they find themselves not amplified? Because those damn old-fashioned liberal Democrats wanted actually to win elections! If only they had not wanted so badly to win their elections (which they usually didn’t- even with us muted and muzzled and marginalized) then these lunatics would have at least had the satisfaction of having “had one’s say” , and had it amplified .
Hillary should do it! Hey, if the liberals can propagate the notion that there is a civil war in Iraq, why can’t we foment a divorce for the Clintons? The divorce is likelier to happen than is the civil war!
Whew! I am now feeling much emotional satisfaction! I feel that I have had a chance to have my say, and to have it amplified.
Maybe the liberals are on to something, after all!
DubInDallas – I respectfully disagree with you. Dumping BJ serves no purpose. She gets much more mileage by playing the strong, staunch wife of a philandering man. We may see BJ as a political albatross, but she needs his clout and charm (Lib chicks dig him!) to fill her war chest and validate her politically. Remember, outside of being a junior Senator, all of her prior experience was as ‘co-president’ and that will not count for much when the presidential race heats up in 2007. Hollywood is not enamored with her, but they are with BJ…and she needs some Hollywood sparkle and glitter to hide her deplorable lack of experience.
I agree with you that playing the role of the strong, staunch wife of a philandering man would play better with the majority of Americans, and would be the right thing for Shrillary if she actually wished, above all other things, actually to ascend to the Presidency.
I am saying that what she truly wants is emotional satisfaction, and the more emotional satisfaction that she gives to her kook fringe base, the more they will alienate “us regular Americans!” And it is precisely this that will gratify the kooks- for once they will get the microphone and they will get the limelight, and when they go down in defeat they will say that that they lost because they had had the guts to “tell the truth”.
And they will be right- for in telling us what it is that they authentically think is true, they will have told “us regular Americans” the truth about themselves.
You have correctly identified her true motivation…the emotional satisfaction of winning. And you’ve also pointed out, correctly, that whether she wins (unlikely) or loses (likely) her minions will have the satisfaction of ‘telling it like it is’ in their warped Shrillary World.
Shrillary can’t win no matter what…her base is too far left and she’s been following the centrist game plan of the mid-90′s lately. She is a lackluster Senator, and I doubt she would carry the Dems here in NY.
I believe that her true motivation- originally-was the emotional satisfaction of winning. But now that she knows that winning is highly unlikely, what has now become her true motivation is the winning of satisfaction.
I agree with you that Shrillary can’t win no matter what- and since that is actually the case, she might as well reclaim her own personal dignity and go out in a blaze of gloriously amplified insanity.
And divorcing Bill would be a thrilling way to start her very own campaign for the presidency. Rodham For President! is much less likely to win at the polls than Clinton For President! But Rodham For President! is much more emotionally satisfying to Shrillary. And I believe that that is more important to Shrillary at this point than anything else, including the winning of the Presidency.
And since she can’t win at the polls, she should make her loss appear at least be a “moral victory” for the ten thousand maniacs that would close in upon her in a vain attempt to fill the void that would be left after she divorces Bill.
Then we agree to disagree – I say she keeps him (while she is in politics), you say she tosses him prior to the big push. Only time will tell!
I’m not saying that she will, I’m just saying that she should. As Yogi Berra said, “Predictions are difficult-especially about the future!”
Well, folks, I really don’t see the Clintons as all that complicated. Simply put, they are the modern reincarnation of King and Lady Macbeth and represent the yin-yang of a dysfunctional partnership. They are eternally bound by a mutual addiction to power and methinks will continue providing cartoonists and commentators pen fodder for some time to come! Oh, and BTW, John In Dublin, thanks for the compliment!
Mr. MD
!! LOVE YET !!!!
BJ is such a Weenie “how fitting!”…. as you portray XELLENTLY in your drawings !!
Mr. Mark Dean! Kudos on the cartoon! You are on a roll- I loved the previous one with Al Gore in the straitjacket, running wild-eyed and screaming “Florida-a-a!” as well! Maybe you could do one with Bill and Shrillary behind a one-way mirror , watching a focus group debating the merits of their divorcing.
Put your powerful pen to work in the fomenting of a Clinton divorce! The main stream media is trying to sell the American electorate on the idea that there is a civil war in Iraq! Why don’t we sell them on the idea of a Clinton divorce!
I agree with you that the Clintons are like Lord and Lady Macbeth, dysfunctionally striving to sate their bottomless lust for power.
Bill and Hillary have gotten as far as they can as a team, and it would be a net gain for each of them individually if they were to pursue their own lusts for power (and Bill’s lusts in general!)as individuals.
Bill would have his formidable power of speech restored! And he could date openly- I would love to see the arm candy that he would parade in public!
And Hillary could find someone who would be more suitable for her, as well.
It would be a fitting and beautiful new chapter in the love story of Bill and Hillary- the dysfunctional power couple parting ways in an amicable divorce which empowers them both in important and emotionally satisfying ways.
Just HAD to jump in and be part of one of the longer threads I have ever seen on this great forum. Besides, I really enjoy Mark Dean’s cartoons and this makes me #24 which is a lot better than being #25.
Lily Tomlin once said, “Why is it that when you are in an enormously long line that is going absolutely nowhere, when somebody gets in line behind you that you feel so much better?
I am damn glad to meet you, smooth!
Now that you have joined us, what are your thoughts on the matter of Shrillary suing Bill for divorce?
I am sorry that I failed to capitalize your name, Smooth. Just a typo. I meant no disrespect.
So have you had a chance to think about it, if you were in Hillary’s place- would you choose to sue Bill for a divorce?
I think that Hillary would score big if she did. It would be sort of a Wallis Simpson story in reverse: Whereas the King Of England said that he couldn’t bear his kingly burdens without the help and the support of the woman he loved- Hillary could say that she could not conduct herself in her duties of office at her consistently conscientious best if she were to remain married to Bill Clinton. She would divorce the man she loves in order to carry out her duties to God and Her Country!
But we all know how I feel about this by now- what do you think?
Hey DubInDallas, no problem. I’ve been maligned in far worse ways than being lower-cased. LOL! As for Shrill and BJ, I can only hope that when the chickens come home to roost, we will all be around to see it. There are lots of American lefty-lib folks out there that repulse me but Shrillary is at the top of my list. What an incessantly whiney, cranky bloated woman. I really loathe her.
I do too. I am wishing a divorce on her- but I don’t know which would be worse for her- divorcing Bill or staying married to him. Whichever is worst, I wish it on her. Either way, I have confidence that we will be there to see her ultimate defeat. I was trying to think of a source who would know if a divorce or if staying married to Bill would be the worst thing for Hillary, but Vince Foster was unavailable for comment!
Dub, I hope the Clinton’s stay married, actually! Could you think of a worse fate for BJ than to be hitched to her for the rest of his life?
DubInDallas, you seem to have an obsession with the Clintons! LOL!
Well, you’re in luck! It just so happens that I have a section on my forum, ‘Shrillary 2008‘, dedicated to the junior Senator from NY.
Check it out here:

The forum is separate from the blog, so it requires a separate registration to comment there.
A thousand thanks for bringing me to that beautiful yonder shore in cyberspace! At last I have a sympathetic and dedicated forum in which I can bring to expression my formerly lonesome meditations near to madness!
Politically, I was raised by wolves- today I still contend with my father (who respects and resembles Adlai Stevenson). My mother is like Eleanor Roosevelt and my sister is much like Hillary Clinton. And I identify with President George W. Bush to an almost eerie degree.
The President is a Texan, and so am I. The President regarded himself the black sheep of his family, and so do I. The President has a genuine right to feel proud of himself ever since he ditched the bottle, and so do I.
I have seen the President at a zillion Rangers games (at Arlington Stadium- I can still see him now in the seat over the dugout where he normally sat.) I watched him win his first gubernatorial race, and I was marvelously impressed with the way that he retained the esteem of the Texans well enough to win a second consecutive term in Austin.
He joined my own home church here in Dallas, the church in which my parents were married, that I was baptized and confirmed- and on whose mailing list I am still listed by the nickname that I was primarily known by for the first eighteen years of my life- Dub. It was a nickname which I never did really like, and when I went off to college, I put my foot down and for the next 27 years nobody called me Dub- including my parents and my sister and all my childhood friends. It was not until I joined the fun you have on this forum that I resurrected the nickname that I have worked very hard to minimize. My real first name is Walter, and since I was the third (named after my father and grandfather) the nickname had been chosen for me before I was born, and the church bulletin which announces my birth refers to me as Dub. As Isak Dineson once wrote, “a name is a reality, and a child is made known to himself by his name.” And I think that she is right.
Well, I hope that that explains to everyone’s satisfaction the authentically strong feelings I have become proud to proclaim and defend. It has been a long struggle to get here for us all!
In order to overcome the liberal brainwashing to which I was subjected, I mainlined thousands of hours of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and now Mark Levin (The Great One!). And now I need them more than ever! As do we all, I am sure!
Whew! I thank all of you for your warm reception! It has been an honor!
