Posted at 10:53am on Dec. 17, 2007 Mr. Justice Clinton? Don't Bet On It

"The Truth, The Whole Truth, And Nothing But...Ah, Who Are We Kidding Here?"

By Dan McLaughlin

Prof. Douglas Kmiec suggests that Hillary Clinton, if elected, could have her husband follow the footsteps of former President Taft by appointing him to the Supreme Court. Taft was, in fact, a very good Chief Justice after being a failure as President, a job for which he never had the talent or desire.

Prof. Kmiec gets right some of the obvious problems with this parallel: Clinton, unlike Taft, has no prior judicial experience and loves politics much more than the law; Clinton, unlike Taft, would presumably not be taking the Chief Justice job; and Taft, unlike Clinton, never had his law license suspended for perjury in a judicial proceeding.

What Prof. Kmiec misses is the showstopper* - even beyond losing him as a campaigner - that would prevent Hillary Clinton, especially, from considering this: confirmation hearings.

Bill Clinton lies like a silk sheet on a waterbed. Well, ok-he IS a silk sheet on a waterbed, but that's not my point. I'm getting fairly accustomed to his nonsense-the great orator in modern times and all that. But really, MUST I be subjected to this?:

The former president opened a two-day swing through Iowa on behalf of his wife, packing nearly 500 people into a theater on the campus of Iowa State University.

"She has spent a lifetime as a change agent when she had the option to do other things," he said.

"I thought she was the most gifted person of our generation," said Clinton, who said he told her, "You know, you really should dump me and go back home to Chicago or go to New York and take one of those offers you've got and run for office."

OK-the urge to vomit has subsided...I can continue now.

"Most Gifted" person of our generation? Sorry, Hill...you don't even come close babes.

Join me below the fold for a few people who ARE the most gifted...
