HillBillary
Aide: President Clinton. President Clinton is, uh, causing some problems.
Hillary: He's not President, I am!
Aide: Yes, of course Mrs. President. It's just, Presidents are always referred to as "President", for the rest of their lives. The fact that you're President Clinton, and he's President Clinton, is, um, well sort of unprecedented. I mean except for President Bush and President Bush. But they weren't here at the same time. So this is different (slightly).
Hillary: [Sigh]. Fine. What's he doing?
Aide: He's dancing. in his office.
Hillary: Oh god, he's not naked is he?
Aide: No, no (what?). he's clothed. But he's dancing, and on the furniture. He was going over his staffing needs, and just. Started dancing.
Hillary: That's.. strange. He knows he can only hire men, right?
Aide: Oh, so. You haven't been briefed. Um. There was a question about the legality of limiting white house staffing to men only. A legal challenge was filed, and a federal judge mandated equal gender hiring. In fact he chastised you pretty harshly in his ruling; how the first woman president, in her first executive decision would ban women from working in the white house.
Hillary: ugh. Damn it. That judge just doesn't understand, what we have to do to keep him.. wait. Who filed the legal challenge?
Aide: Um, well. He did. President Clinton. I mean, Mr President, you know, the other-
Hillary: Yes, ok I get it. Damn it. (It is going to be a long term). All right, inform secret service to execute Operation Neuter Humping Dog. They'll know what to do. And get me some aspirin.
