Yep, Bill Clinton is 77 today. GASP! As we all watch the Republican Party descend into self-immolation — what with Benedict Donald tying them up in knots and the rest of the clown car trying to decide how to have their upcoming debate without him — it's fun to look back on forever-young Bill's two terms and everything he accomplished.
Top of that list is his ability to drive the GOP up the wall. You go, Bill! He certainly inspired the naked hate that defines what's left of the Republican Party today.
But it's not really new, is it? Republicans have been mean about us since at least 1976, when Bob Dole spent the Vice Presidential debate against Walter Mondale muttering darkly about "Democrat wars." But they really kicked into overdrive after Bill beat a GOP incumbent in 1992. (Goodness, it's like they believed they deserved to govern, no matter what the voters thought.) And now, post-Trump, the Clinton impeachment looks even sillier.
We hope that Bill (and Hillary) enjoyed many happy returns of the day. They're having a pleasant retirement, while the GOP's leading guy is staring at at least four (maybe more) indictments, and their party is held captive by nutcases. As we've often said, we'd rather be Us than Them. We cats PURR.
