If the GOP can revive Newt Gingrich from his political
grave, Democrats are allowed to play retro too—and bring back Bill
Clinton, David Maraniss writes in the Washington Post.
True, "the law prohibits the Comeback Kid from coming back to serve a
third term, and Obama might not go for it, but only old-school twits
would let any of that get in the way," chuckles Maraniss. Plus it's a
perfect matchup: Bill and Newt's foibles would brilliantly balance each
other out, banishing "pious baloney about sex" from our national debate.
Clinton
could also satisfy Gingrich's desire for 3-hour Lincoln-Douglas-style
debates, because Bill, "who was born talking and never stopped, can
match him word for word, hour after hour, until the last dog flaps its
ears down.
It would be a blabfest for the ages." Most delicious
advantage for Clinton: In Gingrich's own words, "I melt when I'm around
him." Writes Maraniss: "Clinton ate Gingrich alive back then. There is
no reason to believe he has lost that magic spell."
