Juanita’s feelings about Bill Clinton border on being an Aretha Franklin song.  He done her wrong but she just can’t help lovin’ him.

“Honey, I totally and completely understand why Hillary stays with him.  He’s Goodtime Bill,” she says without even a hint of sarcasm.  “He gets away with stuff that John Edwards can’t, George Bush couldn’t even imagine, and Barack Obama doesn’t understand.  Bill Clinton can hack off his base, his wife, his staff, his preacher … and we all still love him.  None of us want to, but he’s got the magic.”

“Aretha understands it, and Nina Simone does, too.  And, Honey, they are much smarter women than I am so who am I to question something like this —-”

Nearly 12 years after he was impeached, former President Bill Clinton is now the most popular politician in America, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Fifty-five percent of those polled hold a positive view of Clinton, while only 23 percent have a negative view, the best ratio of any of the politicians or political parties polled.

“And, there wasn’t even a second place,” she reports.

Only two other political figures, President Barack Obama and former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee, have a net positive rating.

Obama has a 47 percent positive rating and a 41 percent negative rating; Huckabee scored at 26 percent positive and 25 percent negative.

“Bill Clinton is the original Magic Man.  I absolutely do not want to love him.  Seriously, I don’t.  But I do.  God help me, I do.”

“Go ahead, admit it.  You do, too.”
