Finally: Billy Blythe, The Opera

Frankly, The Clenis or The Great Stainmaker would have been a preferable name for what's sure to be a whitewashed account of the 42nd POTUS.

He IS awfully high-drama.

Former President Bill Clinton will be the subject of a new opera penned by an Arkansas songwriter and poet that is slated to begin performances this fall.

"Billy Blythe" - titled after the 42nd President's birth name, William Jefferson Blythe - takes a look at his difficult childhood.

But it's Clinton's inner diva that will underscore the piece.

"Clinton's life is very operatic, over the top, the perfect operatic vision," musician Bonnie Montgomery told U.S. News & World Report.

Montgomery said she got her inspiration from Clinton's autobiography.

"He paints this myth - it's storytelling, beautiful and imaginative writing," she said.

I wonder who gets to play the chubby intern in the blue dress?
