(A reprise of the Showboat classic as sung by Hillary Clinton after the South Carolina primary)

Along came Bill.
He wouldn’t shut his trap.
He yammered at the church
And at the shopping mall.
He tried to knock
And mock Barack.
And all that palaver
Just turned off the voters.
But I will not say,
“Oh, Bill, please stay away.”
He just may still
Draw voters my way in Super Tuesday’s votes.
If so, he’s still my Bill.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
