The "Bill Clinton" question hovers over the Clinton campaign

John Kass reports:

What about Bill?

I asked this more than a year ago now, and have waited patiently for a straight answer. I'm still waiting. And with only hours until Super Tuesday, it's getting late.

If Sen. Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination and is later elected president, her prospective First Laddie will dance into the White House. Only, Bill Clinton won't be elected this time. He'll be the spouse and therefore untouchable.

And that's not only her problem; it's our problem, even if you're not a Democrat. Sen. Barack Obama's people have raised the issue, but not loudly enough.

This isn't about whether she can keep her hound on the porch or protect her lamb from some green-eyed Jolene with ivory skin and auburn hair.

But what will President Hillary Clinton do if President Bill Clinton decides to freelance in China, or the United Arab Emirates and shoot his mouth off?

The New York Times reported last week that Bill Clinton jetted off to Kazakhstan, and undercut American foreign policy by supporting the dictator, while helping his Canadian pal Frank Giustra win a huge oil deal. In return, Clinton enjoyed a $31 million donation to his foundation.

It sure makes that Tony Rezko deal for Obama's dream house seem rather small. And the Obama people can be thankful that the story appeared on the morning of the Clinton-Obama debate, effectively prohibiting Hillary from playing the Rezko card.

Bill's adventure in Kazakhstan took place in 2005, with a Republican in the White House. Just imagine what he'll be capable of should his wife rule the Democrats?

Another great one by John Kass.
