Not good for Nancy Pelosi’s “Cleaning out the Swamp”:
“If Hillary Rodham Clinton wins the presidency, some top Democrats would like to see her husband, former President Bill Clinton, appointed to serve out Hillary‚Äôs unexpired Senate term.
“As a senator, he’d be a knockout,” said Harold Ickes, who was once a top White House aide to Bill Clinton and now gives behind-the-scenes advice to Hillary. “He knows issues, he loves public policy and he’s a good politician.”
Some Democrats and political analysts say Bill Clinton would thrive in the world’s greatest deliberative body, much like Lyndon Johnson did before he became president.
“President Clinton would excel in the Senate,” said Paul Begala, who helped Bill Clinton get elected and served in the White House as a top aide.
“Why not?” Begala added. “He excelled as attorney general and governor of Arkansas, he excelled as president and he’s been a model of the modern Senate spouse.”
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, agreed.
“Clinton is a natural for the Senate,” Sabato said. “He loves to talk and schmooze. He could be a great vote-organizer. Majority Leader Clinton?”
Yeah, that would be great! And what a resume ole Bill would bring!

1Isn’t Harold Ickes the son or grandson of FDR’s Sec. of Agriculture, Harold Ikes? The one who oversaw the burning of potatoes and slaughter of baby pigs to raise the prices when many people couldn’t have bought a potato or piece of pork if it only cost a penny because many people didn’t even have a penny back in the days of the Great Depression of the 1930′s? Insanity must run in his family.
