Oedipal Confusion

By John Batchelor on 1.31.06 @ 10:06PM

Am consulting my Oxford Shakespeare, specially the two Lear versions, to figure out the reference to "two of my dad's favorite baby-boomers, me and President Clinton."

Is this Oedipal game disguised as sibling rivalry? Does Bill Clinton have a new father? Does POTUS expect that the next presidential race will turn on his ability to embrace the opposition's nomination's legal relative?

Elizabethan parlor games here, poison tongues are somewhere in the room. Calling Thackeray for an update.
