If Only................

If only Liberals had foresight: if, in 1999, they had let Bill Clinton twist slowly in the wind, helped to convict him and have him removed from office, just think where they would be right now:

• Al Gore becomes president and can then be elected for an additional two terms. He is so cute and cuddly that he would have easily beat George Bush in 2000, especially with the full support of the Liberal establishment
• A second full term for Gore would have been a shoo-in (unless, of course, the American public becomes too concerned about his pusillanimous foreign policy - forever waiting for the definitive UN resolution to force the Taliban to expel Osama and turn him over to the "international court" at the Hague!)
  
• Bill Clinton is quietly buried and no longer an embarrassment to Gore and the Democrats. He can still get fabulously wealthy trading on his contacts with the Arabs and other notorious international players. That might have been enough to keep the Clintons out of everyone's hair.
• No Bill, no Hillary. No Senate seat, no power base for a run at the presidency. She wouldn't have dared to run against Gore in 2004, would she?
• Lastly, no candidate from hell. The path for Obama, the Anointed One, would have been clear. Ahhh heaven!
