1. Glad to hear this. He should use Bill Clinton more.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. Oh yes!

definitely!

[terrya]

2. Very good news!

And that's heartening to hear former President Clinton made the invite. :-)

[Kdillard]

3. Cool. I am glad they are getting together.

[BeyondGeography]

4. This is good

And I bet they hit it off.

[alsame]

5. I really hope Bill gets out there and starts campaigning. He can

go into the areas that were strong for Hillary and draw huge crowds.

[Sidney J Mussburger]

6. WHY ARE WE YELLING

[carlotta]

7. I guess because Mark Halperin was yelling.....

and I just cut and pasted. How's that?

[Sidney J Mussburger]

14. NOT GOOD

I ENJOY YELLING ON THE COMPUTER. MORE PEOPLE SHOULD DO IT.

22. Like Ken Dove!

Compère: With me now is Mr Ken Dove, twice voted the most interesting man in Dorking. Ken, I believe you're interested in shouting.

Dove (shouting): Yes, I'm interested in shouting all right, by jove you certainly hit the nail on the head with that particular observation of yours then!

Compère: And what does your wife think of this?

Wife (voice offstage, full-blooded): I agree with him!

Dove: Shut up!

(from a Monty Python bit featuring - that's right - Michael Palin!)

[Sidney J Mussburger]

23. I never saw the Monty Python tv show

want to, but haven't. I was thinking more of Steve Carrell on Anchorman.


Brian Fantana: Don't get me wrong, I love the ladies. I mean they rev my engines, but they don't belong in the newsroom.
Champ Kind: It is anchor*man*, not anchor*lady*. And that is a scientific fact.
Brick Tamland: I don't know what we're yelling about.
Brian Fantana: You're with us, Ron, what do you think?
Ron Burgundy: She... Sh... It's terrible. She has beautiful eyes, and her hair smells like cinnamon.
Brick Tamland: Loud noises.

8. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the good news.

[VolcanoJen]

9. Good. Maybe Bill can explain to him that "IT'S THE ECONOMY, DILLWEED!"

;-)

[demwing]

Yeah, obviously Obama doesn't get the "economy thing"

clearly :sarcasm:

[VolcanoJen]

13. Awww geez.

I really hate when we get to the point where you can't even make a pointed critique of the campaign. Happened in 2004 on DU, too.

[demwing]

19. Well go ahead, I've done it!

But claiming Obama doesn't get it that its the economy (and the war, I might add, and how they're linked :) ), but calling Obama a dillweed?

That's pointed?

[DCBob]

10. This is very good news.

Bill could fill an important role in this campaign. I would first send him to Arkansas, then Florida, then Ohio to go after the former bitter Hillary supporters.

[Sebastian Doyle]

16. Yeah, starting with their governor

Last I heard, Strickland was still talking shit. Or has that changed recently?

[DCBob]

18. Agreed. Bobble-head Strickland has been a reluctant warrior.

Somebody needs to get in his face.

[BlueIdaho]

11. We need every God Damn Democrat to put their feet in the right place and STAND FRIM

That means Me, You, Bill, Hillary, and every other Democrat that knows that this election MATTERS.

I Welcome the Clintons and all loyal Democrats the the last 60 days of this election - lets make every moment count.

[DCBob]

12. Well said. I am with you!

This is war!

[applegrove]

15. Hopefully Bill will be filled with good advice.

[KittyWampus]

17. I would think they've a bit in common. Lack of a strong father figure, for instance

[JustAnotherGen]

21. This meeting better be

Smack Dab Front and Center on that right wing rag The Post on Friday morning. . .
