The Clinton as UN Secretary General came to life again today with this wire story. I amused myself today as I thought about the consequences of this. First, logic would dictate that Clinton would need a Kerry victory on election day in order to pursue this dream of his. The Bush administration is not going to go along with Clinton in the UN. That creates a problem for guess who-Hillary. Suddenly, she and Bill have very different interests in who wins this election. If Kerry wins, her presidential aspirations are all but dead. If they talk at all, what must those conversations sound like?
Next, would Kerry want this? Think about it. The guy has waited for his chance at the White House, watching Bill soak in all the glory of the office for 8 years. If he were to be elected, he suddenly has a shadow cast over his White House by a former occupant of it. Kerry firmly believes in a deference to the UN, but would that change if it meant that Bill Clinton had an influence over policy in the United States again. Politicians have huge egos; I can't imagine the sight of Clinton as Secretary-General would be very appealing to Kerry. Worse for Kerry, he'd be almost politically impotent to stop it.
Finally, if Clinton ascended to his throne as King of the World, could it be that the Republicans of the 1990's were right: Bill Clinton truly is the anti-Christ? Hahahaha. Sorry, the whole concept amuses me, because it stands to make a lot of Democrats very uncomfortable.
