Bill Clinton Speaks at DNC

Editorial Cartoon: Bill Clinton Speaks at DNC Convention Seems former President Bill Clinton is needed to rile the troops at the Democratic National Convention where he has been invited as a keynote speaker.   Hope he can make it through all his lines with a straight face.  Not a secret the history between him and President Obama.

    I think Clinton can pull it off without laughing. It wouldn’t be the first time he said something he didn’t really mean.

      I did not have sexual relations with that woman. I couldn’t have said that with a straight face.

    Ok, being Canadian I have no clue about what is no secret between Clinton and Obama.

    And where’d the voting thingy go? o.O

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I lost…you didn’t vote enough. hahah. j/k

      Go back to my last post Jande. All is explained there.

      1. Jande Avatar

        Ok. But you were right I didn’t vote enough. Sorry. ;`)

        I think my main response ended up in your spam folder though, maybe?

        Now what was that about Clinton/Obama is it an *unmentionable*?

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Nah…that is OK. It had nothing to do with votes. I think votes only counted if there was a tie in the minds of the judges. Plus it was a pain in the butt trying to vote all that often.

    Being an ex-president does let you lighten up. I’m guessing the history you are referring to is the campaign of Hilary. Oh, there is that first black president which I believe Bill was credited with.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No one calls him that much anymore. Yeah, I think there definitely was some animosity earlier. Don’t know if it really gone or they just sweep it under the rug for the good of the grand old party.

        The Grand old party? The other side? as in GOP? Coulda used to be, but those guys have sinced morphed into the &$@ing Crazy party!

      I have looked at it so much it stopped looking like him to me.

  6. Mark Stokes Avatar

    Man, you really caught Clinton! Red face and all!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Red nose is more like it.

    This just might be your best political cartoon ever Bearman. Well done.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Really? Writing down this date. Thanks Bo.

    He’ll do just fine. I love this cartoon. It’s right on the money. I also love how you make fun at both sides of the aisle.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

      They both have idiotic moments and sometimes….rarely a bout of genius.

      1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

        I must have missed that bout.:)

    Excellent toon and mug of Slick Willy. I’m still laughing. I’m sure he’ll manage a straight face, but he’ll be biting his cheeks to keep it.

      Guarantee he will still make some crack about Hillary being the President at home.

  10. jynksie Avatar

    You should have put Clinton in a blue dress! …just sayin! [smirk]

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think it is still in Linda Tripp’s closet.

  11. Japanese Ghost Avatar

    Wow, the Obama admin must really need help if they are calling in our first black president to speak at the DNC! 😉

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Bill is still a rock star in their eyes.

      1. Japanese Ghost Avatar

        I think he is kind of slimy but for some reason I listen when he talks. Wish I had the later affect on people instead of the former….

        (I just went and read a page on the difference between affect and effect and I am still confused)

        1. Bearman Avatar

          affect is a verb. effect a noun

          What were the effects of seeing that explosion and how did it affect you.

  12. Tony McGurk Avatar

    Will Monica be there too???

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Front row seat….or maybe closer

  13. Frank M Hansen Avatar

    Oh Bill. His mouth usually gets the best of him.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      His MOUTH????

  14. Binky Avatar

    Clinton was that jogger dude, wasn’t he?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yep…jogged to Mcdonalds every morning.

  15. Tony DiGerolamo Avatar

    Clinton will be banging chicks like crazy at that thing.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Its like the political olympics

  16. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Mr. President… I feel… your pain!
    *giggle giggle bites lip and sticks up thumb*
    I’m sorry…
    I’m sorry…
    I think my speech writer did inhale!
    🙂
    P.S. – Biden’s ‘comments’ seem to be getting a bit of press lately…hmm… do I get bonus point’s if Bill’s job includes introducing a new V.P?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Bill would love to introduce his wife as the new VP…might get him some relief.

  17. Jack of Gulls Comic Avatar

    That’s ‘Slick Willy’ for ya.

  18. DadaHyena Avatar

    To Bill: If you can’t say something nice, just stick a saxophone in that mouth and entertain everyone!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I wonder if he has played since being on Arsenio

      1. DadaHyena Avatar

        He didn’t have to. George W. showed once and for all just how much a president can blow!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Though he knows how to fade away quietly.

  19. G. B. Miller Avatar

    Would rather listen to Hillary than Sir William.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am sure she will be there as well.

      1. JerryBenedict Avatar

        Actually she’s not attending… she’s staying away because she doesn’t think that the Secretary of State should be involved in the political stuff!

  20. Friggin Loon Avatar

    He should have brought along Monica for some light relief , if you know what I mean 😉

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yes…you are sooooooooo subtle

  21. Rent Textbooks Avatar

    Its kinda Sad that they have to wonder about it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      …and a bit funny

  22. Cha Avatar

    Ahahahhh Clinton!! I recognized him right away!! Before reading the title.
    Bravo.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks…I always wonder.

    That is a great Bill Clinton I can almost hear his voice!

      If you could he would be hitting on you.

    Has a president ever switched VP’s for their second term? It may be a stupid question, but someone has to ask ’em, so the rest of the group can feel smart. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yes….

      “Which vice presidents were not nominated for a second term even though the president they served ran again?
      Aaron Burr was not renominated by Thomas Jefferson in 1804. Burr had killed Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton in a duel and was later tried, but not convicted, of treason for trying to help parts of the United States secede.
      John C. Calhoun was not renominated by John Quincy Adams in 1828. Instead, Calhoun ran with Andrew Jackson and was victorious, thereby serving his two terms with two different presidents.
      Richard Johnson was not renominated by Martin Van Buren in 1840, but was one of three candidates for vice president running on the Democratic ticket. Along with Johnson were Littleton Waller Tazewell and James Polk. Johnson, however, was recognized as the official nominee.
      Hannibal Hamlin was not renominated by Abraham Lincoln in 1864, and was replaced by Andrew Johnson.
      Schuyler Colfax was not renominated by Ulysses S. Grant in 1872.
      Thomas Hendricks was not renominated by Grover Cleveland in 1888 due to the fact that he had passed away in office in 1885. Cleveland campaigned with Allen Gransberry Thurman in 1888 and was defeated by Benjamin Harrison.
      Levi Morton was not renominated by Benjamin Harrison in 1892, who instead chose Whitelaw Reid as his running mate. Harrison and Reid lost that election to Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson.
      Garret Hobart died in 1899 and therefore was not renominated by William McKinley in 1900.
      Henry Wallace was not renominated by Franklin Roosevelt in 1944, replaced on the ticket by Harry Truman.”

      Though the only one I knew and the one the don’t list is Ford changed his VP running mate from Rockefeller to Dole.
