Glimpses behind the scenes

Bill and Hillary have become Shakespearian in their capacity to reveal the horror - and the wonder - of human life. The glimpses of life behind the scenes, away from the TV cameras, are wonderful - this particularly so.

A great deal of attention has been paid to the role the former President Clinton might have in a Mrs Clinton White House but what interests me is what will happen to them in the absence of such an outcome - what will they DO? How will they behave? Will they stay together? Has he damaged his reputation in ways Monica Lewinsky never could? Or will there be a comeback?

Meanwhile, this is great - American humour at its best. The Letterman lines are all true: but somehow (and this should worry the Democrats) not damaging.
