Clinton rides on elder Bush's boat

[AverageJoe]

Forgive me if this is a dupe. I just happened onto it on the CNN.com site (I know, I know--I was bored). I didn't post it on LBN because it didn't seem appropriate.

I've got to tell you, this story makes me a little sick.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) -- 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.

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.

1. Who cares

I'm more concerned about the current president and the damage he's doing to this nation and the world.

Who Old Man Bush decides to boat with should not concern us at this time.

4. I agree.

They ran all over SE Asia together delivering whatever it was they were delivering, if you know what I mean.

2. Ignore The Important News

...focus on that great "Progressive" meme: CLINTON BAD!

[AverageJoe]

5. That's not my point

I greatly admire President Clinton. I think it's quite problematic, though, that he is lending his credibility to the BFEE. I don't understand it and I don't like it. Fair enough?

9. On average...

...We see a "CLINTON BAD!" post here at DU every 3.7 seconds. And every one is virtually the same: Clinton's betrayed us, Clinton's a DINO, Clinton's a Bush lackey, Clinton's the greatest evil the world has ever seen.

It gets tiresome very quickly for everyone but the authors, and I fail to see what purpose it serves--except as a variation of the "Democrats are just as bad as Republicans" nonsense Progs use to drum up support for their next sure-fire loser.

10. Progs?

Yes, indeed, those VILE Progs!

To GITMO with them!

6. A memory I have of my father,

who was not very political (or at all violent), was that he would have loved to have taken Robert McNamara out in a boat to do some fishing.

The kicker was that only one would return. Maybe Bill just didn't have the right opportunity.

7. maybe Clinton IS doing this to hurt the Bushes standing with right wing

wackos.he says he likes Bush 1 and all that but when he says it he smiles and giggles and talks in that bullshit voice he has when he's obviously lying.Or maybe Poppy just gives world-class head.

8. Bill Clinton hasn't been the leader of the Democrats since January 2001...

So why exactly do I give a shit?
