Funniest thing I read today

"Recent events," mused former Clinton impeachment lawyer Greg Craig, "raise the question: if Hillary's campaign can't control Bill, whether Hillary's White House could."

I love this. But it's worth remembering that Bill's White House couldn't control Bill either. Neither could Bill's wife, no matter how many lamps she hucked at him. Bill's conscience? That was esconced in a Naugahyde Barcalounger eating a box of Ring Dings during much of his presidency. Meanwhile his id and his ego were Jell-O wrestling with two strippers from Reno and a cigar-smoking midget with a Ziploc bag full of male-enhancement party favors."
