Bill Clinton and bush I take a boat ride

[cynatnite]

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - Former President Bill Clinton joined his one-time political foe, former President George H.W. Bush, for a boat ride on the Atlantic Ocean after attending a book-signing Monday in South Portland.

Clinton was seen kneeling to pet a dog when he arrived at Walker's Point, the summer home of George and Barbara Bush on Maine's rocky coast.

Later, Clinton and Bush waved to onlookers early Monday evening as they boated up and down the river that separates Kennebunk and Kennebunkport before roaring into the ocean for a short ride in Bush's three-engine boat, the Fidelity III.

1. This is just getting creepy.

:scared:

[Southsideirish]

4. I never trusted Bill C. since I first spied him many years ago.

[acmavm]

9. I agree with you. This situation is just plain weird. What was that movie,

something about 'Body Snatchers'. Maybe this ain't Bill at all. Or maybe Barbara's amazing ugliness burnt up some part of his brain. The common sense part.

[jedr]

2. what's up with that????

these two becoming best of buds' sure is strange bedfellows.

[Bouncy Ball]

3. I didn't realize there was some kind of weird requirement

that former presidents hang out and play buddy buddy routines.

I don't see Carter and Ford yucking it up too often. Or Carter and bush the elder. Or Carter and Clinton, for that matter.

(Isn't Ford still alive?)

[Pirate Smile]

6. Yes, Ford is alive but he is really old.

[Poiuyt]

13. Do you think Jimmy Carter feels left out?

[Bouncy Ball]

15. LOL, I doubt he'd want to play such games.

[FreedomAngel82]

31. With Ford

I think he's sick and pretty old. It is kinda strange. Isn't Bush older then Clinton too? What really got me was when Barbara called Clinton a "son." What really started me wondering is when Clinton had his library opening and Clinton asked if he was the only one who liked both George and John (Kerry). Of course I said "duh!" When Clinton thanked Kerry he got loud screams and when Bush was introduced he had hardly any. ;) So it is kinda weird. I guess Carter's still doing his center and doesn't have time to go around on boats and sign books.

5. Another thing:

In a way, I kind of like it. Here's why: I know for a FACT it drives right wingers BATSHIT to see stuff like this. It bothers them WAYYYYY more than it bothers us. So in that sense, I'm fine with it. Plus I think it burns up Chimpy McCokespoon to see this, too.

[jedr]

11. Do you think that a rift exist between * and father?

Is this a way of garnishing moderate repub' votes for the dems?????just a thought.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Oh I think it's DEFINITELY strategic.

Does Clinton do anything that isn't strategic? I don't necessarily mean that in a negative way, but seriously.

And yeah, I think the relationship between * and Poppy is strained and has been for years and years now. The way things are nowdays isn't helping any, either.

[jedr]

16. Too many photo-op's for it not to be staged...somethings up!

[Lisa]

21. * can get terribly jealous ...

In 2000 he was going around saying that "my dad's idea of the perfect son was Al Gore". I suspect that Poppy did say something complimentary about Gore (military veteran, promising political career, not known for getting into trouble) -- and Georgie remembers it to this day!

Likely he would not be thrilled if his folks kept saying "Bill said this" and "Bill and I had a great game of golf" -- my guess is that the elder Bushes are quite aware of this, and won't hesitate to use it. (Georgie disliked golf when he was younger, and was particularly resentful when his mom made him accompany her.)

[Bouncy Ball]

23. From what I understand, he still hates golf.

And poppy has been known recently to speak glowingly of Clinton, which probably burns up chimpy mccokespoon to NO END.

Which I love, of course!

Hee hee.

[In Truth We Trust]

7. the corporate owned duopoly at play...............disgusting!

[goclark]

8. The surgeon must have taken out his senses

Doesn't my Bill know that Bush is the biggest snake in the grass on the entire planet?

Poppy is the Godfather.

Watch out Bill!

[DerekG]

10. Perhaps they're comparing the body counts they've accrued

Bush had his war (that Highway of Death was a real corker); Clinton had his 8 years of economic sanctions.

How about this: Whoever wins the "most children killed" award gets hauled to the Hague first.

[B Calm]

12. Malloy has been saying for years that Clinton was the best republican

president this country has had for over a 150 years..

[Straight Shooter]

22. That's funny! That's what my friends and I say.

I find Clinton to be personally charming, very charismatic, but he really doesn't fool me politically. He's the consummate politician, always positioning himself for his own best interests.

This keeping company with elder bush is disgusting, though. He's a creepy, vile pedophile who loves to feel the young boys in Brazil.

[barbaraann]

17. I'm sick.

Also, I peeked at FR and they are pretty much reacting the same way we are.

[Bouncy Ball]

19. But even more vehemently, I bet.

That's the only part I like about it. Drives them WAY crazier than it does us.

[MisterP]

18. this decade's events are going to spawn a hell of a lot of weird movies

and what's Napoleon Bonaparte doing standing on the other side of the windshield?!

[cynatnite]

20. I thought neither of them gave a shit anymore

they're not in public office.

As someone said earlier...if it's makes some freeper head explodes, I'll do anything to encourage that.

[ArnoldLayne]

32. If it upsets the Freepers,Hannity and the NeoCons

I hope Bill keeps it up. Now I would like to see Hillary be seen with Barbara Bush laughing it up and doing a little shopping together that would really get to them. :evilgrin:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

24. clinton is not on our side

i've said it time and time again-that nafta-passing, welfare deforming, GOP enabling, self-indulgent prick is a piece of yuppie shit

[earth mom]

28. Agreed! Excuse me while I...

:puke:

[MODemocrat]

25. Those two must be Joined at the Hip

What's going on with Bill Clinton hanging out with republicans? Oh, I know, he says he's always liked him since his days at Governor of Arkansas.
Boy, I wish we had our own party back! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[gulliver]

26. Clinton never had a good father. Bush I never had a good son.

Bush's dad isn't nearly the scum-sucking POS his boys are. He fathered swine and married ugly, but Bush I was a credible president. They probably have a lot to talk about.

[Cha]

27. Clinton doesn't look

so good. Maybe some time out in the sun on da boat will bring some color back.

I think Clinton is that rare breed who can get along with anybody if given a chance.

Personally, I can't stand to be on the same planet as the bushits.

[Lars39]

29. Bill's cozy 'n up to the king maker.

Hillary will be the next prez, allowing us to keep the illusion of a 2-party system.:tinfoilhat:
Friendly fascism at it's finest.

[Domitan]

30. All hail the Illuminati!

The figureheads are slowly unmasking themselves. Let us lay down before our masters!!!
