The much-anticipated rollout of Bill Clinton as a campaign speaker for his wife occurred Monday and it was a snooze.

In his first speech, the former president’s delivery was so flat, his tangents so boring and long-winded, that I wanted break out Pearl Jam CDs and “Seinfeld” reruns to see if everything from the 1990s was worse than I remembered it. His Monday evening remarks were better, but not by much.
