Bill Clinton is bringing his bullride to UC Irvine today. He will be speaking at a rally at 5 o'clock at the Bren Center to endorse a bunch of Democratic candidates nobody (including himself) has ever heard of. Admission is free (first come-first served).
He needn't worry that I will be there. I teach class at that hour.
I just hope all those students and gushing faculty who come to listen to his advice remember when he pointed his finger at the TV monitor and said those immortal words about never having played Hide the Baloney with the intern in the Oval Office.
"Here's why y'all need to vote for What's-his-name."
Hopefully, somebody in the audience will ask Clinton how much he knows about any of the candidates he is endorsing.
If Romney wins the election, it will probably be Bill Clinton's fault:

I don't watch much TV, so I wasn't aware that the Obama campaign had done a pivot from 'Mitt Romney is a lying SOB and you can't tell what he really believes' to 'Mitt Romney is a right-wing extremist.'
If they did, its a bad move. Mittens doesn't have the spine to be "extreme," and he's taken positions for and against almost everything on the political map, depending on which audience he wants to please at the moment. I don't buy "extremist" as a meaningful label for anyone.
Rush Limbaugh is a clown, a buffoon, a drug addict, a self-centered, rude, obnoxious bully, a pompously inflated windbag, but what's the point of calling him "extreme"? What does that mean, anyway?
