OMG .... Big Dog Did you have to?
Clinton Gave Up Plane's Bed to Bush --On their tour of tsunami damage in Southeast Asia, former President Bill Clinton once allowed his predecessor, former President George H.W. Bush, to sleep on the plane's only bed while he stretched out on the floor.

1. yes, he did
it's exactly what I would expect him to do. He's not going to make an 80 year old man sleep on the floor. It was gracious of him, and I'd expect nothing less.

27. My feeling, too - Bush should have refused
since Clinton just had heart surgery. But he's a Bush Bastard, so of course he'd take the bed.

13. It's because he has class...
President Clinton is a gentleman, despite the then "liberal" media's characterization of him as acting otherwise. I wish he could run again in 2008.

23. Exhibit A
for why people won't (or shouldn't) take us seriously.

Let's suss that last comment out.

"Its submission! Poppy Bush is crap!"

This brings three thoughts to mind.

1. Bush is much older than Clinton, and if inly one bed was available, it was just and proper for the older man to not be forced to sleep on the floor.

(expected response: "But Bush is a Nazi scumbag bastard!!!1 Would you give a bed to a Nazi!!111)

2. Imagine if Clinton did the bidding of the lunatic fringe and made Bush take the floor. There would have been a picture and a report of the old man sprawled on the deck while Clinton lounged in a soft bed. That's a good image to help us with the folks.

(expected response: "But Bush is a Nazi scumbag bastard!!!1 Would you give a bed to a Nazi!!111)

3. Towards the end of the Civil War, men who previously had been peaceful became bloodthirsty. Thadeeus Stevens, one of the most ardent defenders of the abolition movement and the rights of slaves, spoke and wrote very casually about hanging everyone who even mildly disagreed with the way the war was being waged. The war transformed him from a man of peace to a murderer at heart. If that kind of thing is happening to us, if we are so desperate to shame and defeat these people that we rejoice at the idea of a very old man sleeping on a floor, we don't deserve to be involved in politics because clearly our passions have so deranged us that we are a danger to ourselves and others.

(expected response: "But Bush is a Nazi scumbag bastard!!!1 Would you give a bed to a Nazi!!111)

25. Poppy Bush should be in a jail cell for killing all those Panamanian
civilians that died during our illegal invasion of Panama.

As to the one bed, why didn't Clinton and Bush share the same bed as the majority of the world's poor are forced to do.

Screw Poppy Bush!

20. This just proves how cheap and unfeeling George W. Bush can be. . .
else he'd have sent two Presidents to Southeast Asia in a plane equipped with at least two beds.

30. Apparently there were sofas and such in the other room, too.
I don't know, some people just prefer the floor.
