More Fun To Be An Ex-President?

Will Hillary run? Yes, friends, that is the question. At The Daily Beast, Tina Brown has some interesting thoughts about why Hill should just say no, and note that the grandchild-to-be doesn't come up until the last paragraph. Brown suggests that the reality of actually being president is exponentially more frustrating and depressingly less powerful than ambitious politicians realize as they look at the next president in the mirror and "measure the drapes" for life in the Oval Office. It's not until you're an ex-president that the real fun starts:

"Money, Nobels, the ability to leverage your global celebrity for any cause or hobbyhorse you wish, plus freedom to grab the mike whenever the urge takes you without any terminal repercussions." 

Brown advises Clinton to skip the drearyness of being president and jump straight to the fun part. Will Hill take the advice? Stay tuned...
