Plan B for Hillary Clinton

As Barack Obama is coming into focus as the likely Democratic nominee, speculation is swirling. What will become of  his opponent, Hillary Clinton, who has groomed herself for the Presidency these last four decades? A few suggestions, if I may:

• Hillary and Al Gore could form an unbeatable team in next season’s Amazing Race.

• she could sign a multi- million dollar contract to endorse a new fragrance line, one as classy and provocative as Hillary herself.

• Ms Clinton could always return to Narnia and re-establish her Reign of Eternal Winter.

• You know what would be great? If a trio of multicultural, middle-aged women who are all best friends with Hi-C whisked her off to vacation. Can you imagine straight-laced Hillary her first morning underneath the sun of a Tuscan vineyard?

She'd come out the first day in a bee keeper's hat and stiff leather brogues, clucking her tongue over the bright sunlight, the ancient plumbing, and "that ridiculous language!" Over the course of an unforgettable summer, she'd be seduced!- by a gorgeous 20 year old named Victorio and the irrepressible spirit of the Tuscan countryside. Come harvest, she'd be dancing arm in arm with the old vineyard keeper, Signorio Felice, in the stomping bucket, barefoot in a white dress soaked through with unfermented wine. They laugh like children! "Bellissimo! Mange!"  What better way to learn about wine, love--life!

See Hillary? Whatchoo waitin' for! Pack your bags, withdraw from the race, and soar.
