The Main Squeeze..

I think that,as bloggers,we may possibly be in a position to do something truly historic.
From time to time,in the event of something new and different,the very brief opportunity arises to coin a new phrase!

Like that pilot that first described UFO's as 'flying saucers',or that DJ whose name I can't remember right now,that labeled a new genre of music as 'rock and roll'.
More often than not,it seems like the honor of coining a new phrase is snatched up by some best selling author,or well respected journalist who makes a casual reference that immediately becomes part of the national lexicon.

Well not this time dammit!

I'm talking about how we should refer to Bill Clinton,in the event that Hillary is elected President.
After two centuries of addressing the presidential spouse as 'first lady',I guess it might naturally follow that 'first gentleman' would seem appropriate.
Sorry ladies..Too bland.

Besides,It's a matter of custom to continue calling an ex-president,'President'
How much confusion will that cause?
I mean,..'Today President Clinton was accompanied by President Clinton to the Yada-Yada conference'..

There's a place for everyone,and everyone should be in their place.

I just think this is our opportunity to get in on the ground floor,and come up with something better!
Here are just a few of my recommendations;
  • Mr. Bill

  • The First Husband,(in the long run,I think Hillary may already have this one in mind)

  • Gentleman William,(I kinda like that!)

  • '..and her escort du jur'

  • That lying,cheating,son-of-a-bitch!

  • Sparky..

Seriously,someone is gonna set precedent.
It may as well be bloggers!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

This has absolutely nothing to do with my post.
I just wanted it my archives.

Well here's a few...

Mr. President

(If we continue calling him Mr. President I think he should be introduced in song everywhere he goes by female interns with nothing better to do)

We could just call them Mr. and Mrs. President.

(Simply introducing them as a couple. Actually we could go one step further and just change their last names to White-House or perhaps Washington.

>turns on radio<

Today we heard President Hillary White-House give her first State of the Union address as (current) and former President Bill Washington looked on with great pleasure...from behind the nearest intern. More at 11:00..

Ok, maybe not lol

A- Bubba. Or how about First spouse?

B- I love that song. For some strange reason I always loved the lyric about the radical priest and the cover of Newsweek ;)

*It should rightfully be 'Mrs.and Mr.' Grish..gotta give Hillary her props. ;)

lostinco- These just keep getting better and better!
Mr.Hillary Clinton affords each of them
the respect that the office of president deserves.

hah! Very good thinkings going on around here. Is it the music or the moonshine?

 
At 3:34 PM , Blogger Sling said...

Hat- When you think about it,what is one without the other? ;)

 
At 3:43 PM , Blogger Jan said...

With all due respect to the creativity of you and your commenters, I don't care for any of the names for official purposes.

Ah, an excuse not to vote them into office again.

 
At 3:53 PM , Blogger Sling said...

jan- Everyone of thoughtful disposition gets equal time here.
What would you like to call the spouse of a female President?..
I mean,in the event the occasion arises.

 
At 3:54 PM , Blogger billy pilgrim said...

i like bill.

how about sir bill, make him a knight of the oval table.

 
At 4:10 PM , Blogger Sling said...

billy P.- Sensible,and not without precedent.
Consider 'Jackie'..

 
At 4:14 PM , Blogger Doralong said...

And there you have it my dear..

Quit with the Bill hating kids- if she didn't care I sure as hell didn't..

 
At 4:19 PM , Blogger Sling said...

doralong- Once again,the voice of reason rears it's lovely head.

 
At 6:48 PM , Blogger Serena said...

Since it would be sort of a dual presidency, I suppose they could be called Prez1 and Prez2. I personally will probably continue to call him Slick Willie, although Bubba is also a good choice. This is too much to think about on a Saturday.:)

 
At 6:57 PM , Blogger Sling said...

serena joy- Rest your weary mind on this glorious Saturday Serena,I'll tuck 'Slick Willy' in my archives for future reference. :)

Wow everyone here is a lot smarter and funnier then I am...I got nothin but some good laughs. Pour me a beer someone.

 
At 7:37 PM , Blogger Sling said...

Sage- I keep a small stash of Sapporo on hand for just such an occasion!..
Yeah,I know it's Japanese..May my German ancestors forgive me,but it's damm good brew!

 
At 9:00 PM , Blogger Kari (GrannySkywalker) said...

Why not just call him The First Co-Conspirator. It'd keep things simpler when the indictments start rolling in.

 
At 9:17 PM , Blogger Sling said...

kari- That sounds exactly like something I would say!..So,quite naturally,I love it. :)

 
At 11:48 PM , Blogger Willym said...

Who cares what he's called as long as he looks well-dressed and presentable when he's standing beside her at the photo ops. That's the standard they set for First Lady's why should it change?

 
At 12:02 AM , Blogger Sling said...

willym- Maybe he'll give us the tour of the White House!..
'..and next to the Oval Office,is the Monica Lewinski room'..

POsting that great video at teh end kind of wiped the rest of the post out of my head.

First Mate
Clinton I (and Clinton II)

Although I love Mr. Bill (ooh-noooooooo!), although it begs the question of who would play Sluggo. It couldn't carry over to the next woman prez's hubby though.

Love that song! Huge S&G fan, I had the harmonies going on that one, whoo-hoo.

 
At 8:37 PM , Blogger Lorraine said...

Steve. Let's call him Steve.

I totally forgot my u-beaut nicknames for Billy Cunston because of the wit from the comments.

Or perhaps it was ‘cause of the first time in a few weeks chouffie I just had.

Old Hilary has quite chunky thighs…I thought that when seeing her this morning.
