Picture a cozy weekend at Camp David for President Obama, Vice President Hillary Rodham Clinton and their lively spouses.
They'd talk policy and politics in the confines of the rustic retreat. After the long campaign and all the bruised feelings, Michelle Obama could finally reach out to Bill Clinton, as she recently said she's been wanting to do.
To be exact, she said: "I want to rip his eyes out."
Then added: "Kidding."
At least some journalists are seeing how ludicrous this marraige-made-in-hell would be. A bit more:
Now that Clinton is angling to become Obama's running mate, the question arises how two frosty rivals and their seething camps might come together without sticking flag pins into each other.
It's all pretty awkward right now.
Awkward now???? Imagine having to wear body armor when you need to sneak a cigarette in the middle of the night, let alone get that middle of the night -- you know the one -- phone call.
For months, she's cast her rival as wet behind the ears and herself as the one to be trusted to deal with crises in the middle of the night.
In an Obama-Clinton White House, he'd take the 3 a.m. call. She might or might not be awakened.
. . . Then there's Bill, a man of deep experience, in-your-face opinions and more baggage than a boxcar.
The visions of that an Obama-Clinton White House abound. Guess who's coming to dinner? Jeremiah Wright, Samantha Powers, or Geraldine Ferrarro, anyone?
Join the fun. Try out your own tale of fancy.
And please, tell me what they'll do with Bill. Since he's got all that baggage, does the WH have porters???
