In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Praises George W. Bush and the Art of Compromise [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)63. Yeah I think some people expect
Hillary and the others to come out and call Bush a war criminal and refuse to ever speak to him again. Would be nice, but not all that likely to happen. Especially right after 911.
Hillary got trashed here for even being in a photo with Kissinger - as if she could be expected to refuse to be anywhere near him because he is so evil. I don't see them refusing to associate or speak with any prominent Republicans like that. In fact if they did things like that, the same people might say how immature it was. The MSM would sure have a field day.
