Hillary Clinton Tells Letterman Her Husband Explored Becoming Her Running Mate!

4 comments August 31st, 2007

On August 30, Hillary Clinton made her first appearance for many years on CBS’s David Letterman Show. Clearly, this sets in motion an escalating flurry of Hillary media appearances as her presidential campaign moves into high gear. The interview she conducted reminded me of Hillary and Bill Clinton’s recent YouTube flick; heavy on the jokes and playing around, awfully light on substance. However, there was one candid admission Hillary Clinton offered, and I don’t think she was kidding. When asked by Letterman if husband Bill Clinton could serve as her vice-president if she were to be elected to the White House, Hillary replied, “Believe me, he looked into that.”

I’m sure he did.

Hillary also told Letterman that if the Constitution as amended didn’t forbid a president from seeking a third term, “He might be running.” Then again, just as Hillary was Bill’s co-president, I think a second Clinton presidency will just switch those roles around. As the old French saying goes, “The more things change, the more they remain the same.”
