For a couple decades I’ve been hoping that The Great Cosmic Keeper of Scores would come take a look at the Clinton family and knock them down a notch or two hundred. There are good reasons. Regarding The Clinton Creature, she’s always been arrogant and greedy, never played by the rules, or stuck to the truth. And Slick? Well, Slick’s always been pretty slick. But his luck seems to have run out. Fairly or not, he gets savagely raked over the coals every time TCC hits the campaign trail..For new sins and old. Real and imagined. Slick isn’t quite the Dim icon he used to be. Even a token flannel shirt in Vermont doesn’t do it for the guy anymore. Hence my robust chuckle when I read this;

Dems: Bill Clinton too toxic to campaign in midterms
One of the party's top surrogates has been effectively sidelined by the #metoo movement.

Democrats are looking to embrace the #MeToo moment and rally women to push back on President Donald Trump in the midterms—and they don’t want Bill Clinton anywhere near it.

In a year when the party is deploying all their other big guns and trying to appeal to precisely the kind of voters Clinton has consistently won over, an array of Democrats told POLITICO they’re keeping him on the bench. They don’t want to be seen anywhere near a man with a history of harassment allegations, as guilty as their party loyalty to him makes them feel about it.

“I think it’s pretty tough,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), vice chair of the House Progressive Caucus and one of the leading voices in Congress demanding changes in Washington’s approach to sexual harassment. His presence “just brings up a lot of issues that will be very tough for Democrats. And I think we all have to be clear about what the #MeToo movement was.”

It’s a huge change from eight years ago, when Clinton made over 100 appearances for Democrats during the 2010 midterms as the most in-demand presence on the campaign trail. In his reelection campaign two years later, former President Barack Obama anointed Clinton his “explainer-in-chief.”

Clinton’s likely absence on the stump this year comes amid major demand for high-profile surrogates this year — from Obama, who’s expected make select appearances, to Joe Biden and the full crop of 2020 prospects, who are likely to be all over the place in the thick of election season. Even Hillary Clinton will do some targeted campaigning.

Bill’s persona non grata on the rubber-chicken circuit, but TCC can hit the campaign trail with ‘select’ candidates? Now that’s a real hoot. It was her crazy ambitiou that got him, her and us in the clusterfuck we currently find ourselves in politically, foreign policy-wise, government agency corruption-wise, everything-wise. And yet, the old horndog is the one who can’t show his face.

Do I dislike Bill Clinton? Yes. Do I hold a grudge for all the sleazy stuff he’s done? Yes again. I’m still fuming about the way he tied up polling places in Massachusetts on the day of the primary. I even signed this:

Oh well. I have always agreed with Bob Herbert’s opinion of the two of them:

“The Clintons are a terminally unethical and vulgar couple, and they've betrayed everyone who has ever believed in them.”

Looks like Bill’s gonna have a lot of time on his hands. He’ll probably be glad to get the house to himself again.
