Bush picks brains of Clinton, father

[DoYouEverWonder]

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE -- President Bush solicited foreign policy advice from former President Bill Clinton at CIA briefings this week and even told Mr. Clinton that he liked his approach to reforming Social Security.

"It was really a lot of fun," Mr. Bush told reporters yesterday after spending three days with Mr. Clinton and former President George Bush in Rome.

"These CIA briefings a lot of time prompt policy discussions," he added. "It's interesting to get their points of view about their experiences in particular countries."

By pairing Mr. Clinton with his father, Mr. Bush has drawn both predecessors back into the orbit of the White House after years in which they generally stayed away -- at least publicly. It also has allowed Mr. Bush to do something he has strenuously avoided since taking office -- acknowledging that he sometimes sounds out his father on foreign policy questions.

Maybe Bush should stick to just picking his nose?
