What a mischievous fellow that Peter Wehner is at the Commentary site. He reminds us that Bill Clinton has been less than helpful to the Obama re-election campaign:
Within the last week or so the former president has declared that Mitt Romney had a “sterling” business career; that Romney easily crosses the qualification threshold for being president; that Bain Capital’s work is “good work;” that Congress should extend all the Bush-era tax cuts, including those for the wealthiest Americans; and that we’re still in a recession.
Can you imagine the scene in the Obama campaign HQ? Coffee cups flying, darts hurtling into a wall-mounted picture of Hillary and language to turn a Guardsman's ears red! But of course, 'slick Willy' smoothed it all out, shook hands with 'The One' and they all 'smiled, and smiled and murdered as they smiled'!
Of course, it ain't gonna happen - is it? But if it did, would it help Romney?
After all, it’s hard to imagine anyone doing more damage to Obama, or more on behalf of Romney, than what Clinton is doing day in and day out. Call it a unity ticket for America.
The only problem for Mitt might be that his wife is quite attractive so you wouldn't want good ol' 'slick Willy' hanging around too close!
I have a suspicion that 'slick Willy' is a much better joke in British English than in American. Tell me if I'm wrong.

No, you're probably right, DM.
JK, if you are promising us more 'hope 'n' change' after November you can stick it where the sun don't shine!

"Slick Willy" over here only means he could get out of anything with slick words, like "is". Although we used to say, "Slick Willy got his willy wacked" when Monica Lewinsky ... uh ... wacked his willy.
I always liked Clinton. He was a democrat with conservative leanings. And just like "Only Nixon could go to China", only Clinton could lower taxes. The whole sex-scandal didn't seem like a scandal to me, except for that pig Lewinsky.
He's definitely throwing Obama under the bus. In the first campaign he was always pointing out (echoing YDS, by the way), that you don't want a community organizer in the White House.

And, Dom, I wonder how much spite has been passed on to Bill by Hillary since she started working for Obama? And how 'Professor' Obama must look down his nose at that pair of 'Arkies'! And what they must secretly think of him! Can't wait for the MSM to spill the beans which will be approximately two weeks after Obama is defeated.
