Bill Clinton, the Comeback Cat!!

I didn't have high hopes that the "Comeback Kid" was going to stage another grand return, particularly after reading the in-depth (and highly engaging) New York Times Magazine profile of him a couple of months ago. In it he seemed to revert to classic Clinton, circa the Bubba years, and not in a good way. Of his fall from grace with some black voters he said, "None of them ever really took seriously the race rap... They knew it was politics. I had one minister in Texas in the general election come up and put his arm around me... This was an Obama supporter. And he came up, threw his arm around me and said, 'You've got to forgive us for that race deal.' He said, 'That was out of line.'"

Then just like clockwork -- just as we were all beginning to think it was not possible -- "The Comeback Kid" did it again. Much like Jesse Jackson helped redefine himself in the eyes of some Americans by becoming a de facto international statesman, negotiating the release of various captive Americans abroad in the 1980s, President Clinton reminded us all just how relevant he still is, by helping to secure the release of captured journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling in North Korea... First and foremost I am grateful that these two women, who have been in so many of our thoughts and prayers, are finally coming home. But I am also somewhat in awe that yet again, President Clinton rose to the occasion to remind us of the great leader he has the capacity to be when he allows himself.

He is quite a cat.
