What is WITH this sick connection between Bush I and Bill Clinton?

[IndyOp]

They gave a commencement address at Tulane yesterday to talk about how important their Katrina relief fund was and how important it is that the students at the college were determined to keep the school open and perservere. <http://www.grads.tulane.edu/speaker.html>

I am not a Clinton hater - but what the *hell* does he think he is doing?

He is indirectly giving credibility to the Chimp!

1. Sometimes it helps

if both sides work together to fix a problem. There should be more of this IMHO. If working together gets something accomplished, I'm all for it.

2. I can't fault anyone for helping to raise money for Katrina survivors.

I don't think it helps dimson's case; there's no credibility there at all and may in fact emphasize what the blivet hasn't done.

[Cleita]

3. Yes, it says a lot about dimson's incompetence if his

father has to beg for charity for the Katrina survivors.

[Cleita]

6. I think Bill is somehow acting on the principle of keeping his

friends close and his enemies closer. It keeps the WH from blaming too much on Clinton's penis when Daddy is his chummy friend.

[lumpy]

13. Just another indication that Bill

doesn't have very good judgement in picking some friends. He has no reason to cosy with his 'enemies'.

[IndyOp]

7. I think Clinton can and should do great work on behalf of Katrina

survivors.

If GHWB wants to call 3 filthy rich friends and get a few million - then great.

Each time Clinton links up with GHWB, the positive association is made to GHWB and thus to GWB.

Basically, I think GHWB is a filthy war criminal who ought to be in jail. I don't think we should treat white collar, political criminals as if they are acceptable.

This is just my opinion...

[lumpy]

9. Problem is those filthy rich friends

aren't kicking much in. I don't admire Clinton for paling around with the filthy old crook..er crock. There are plenty of other well known people Clinton could work with.

35. When ALL Truth comes out-Poppy will be seen to be behind EVERYTHING

criminal & treasonous since JFK assasination. He is the ONLY past president who chose to receive the 'President's Daily Brief' though it is available to all past -presidents-GHWB is far more informed than dimson (as we all know).

GHWB is deeply involved in defense-industrial projects and there are many complaints that the "PDB" gives his companies, esp. Carlyle, unfair advantage on contracts, timing, overall knowledge of exactly how to play the Power/Greed game worldwide.

Poppy is as Illuminatiesque-Evil-Reptilian as they come!!

I asked a psychic when Bill & Bush1 became chummy--"what gives there"--and the psychic said Bill is working on many levels (physical & non) to change Bush1

Certainly hope THAT IS IT!!

[IndyOp]

37. I think you've got it Kat.

After I posted this and wondered around DU for a few more hours I had come to the conclusion you reached - Bill is keeping Bush 1 close to work on him, to have some leverage.

Pray. Pray harder.

This is not scared, it is shivers in the face of evil -> :scared:

[IndyOp]

38. Also, do you remember the TV interview in which Bill was asked whether

he would run for President again and he said that he had some things he had to do and he wasn't sure if people would want him after that?

It wasn't clear to me which people he was refering to - powerful people who pay for elections or us...

I've been turning that over in my mind from time to time: "I have some things I have to do..."

:eyes:

[Fleshdancer]

4. well you can't fault Bush Sr....

This gives an old man the chance to pretend he has an intelligent and successful son. What's wrong with that? ;)

[Kahuna]

24. That's what I think too. He somehow thinks some of Bill's good and

smarts will wear off on him and maybe some of his useless offspring too.

[Fleshdancer]

25. poor W...he's polling so low that his own Daddy prefers Clinton now

:rofl:

[Ready4Change]

5. I think Bill and Bush1 have talked.

Both agree that Bush2 is a total screwup.

[GreenArrow]

8. blood is thicker than water

?

[mtnsnake]

10. It's called bipartisanship between 2 ex-presidents,

one good guy who's sincere and one nasty SOB who's going along for a free ride, who are working together to get something constructive done for the good of the country.

While it should set a good example of how things are supposed to work, it's kind of ironic and revolting to see them together, considering how the Bushes are the most partisan assholes that ever ruled this country.

[pretzel4gore]

11. put on your tin foil hat

there are more then a few things that simply don't make sense about Big Dog, for a Rhodes scholar married to a goldwater republican, it seemed crazy to see him dance while the gopig bullets flew near his feet. Why didn't Bill simply stonewall-why didn't he sic the IRS on his persecutors (it's said the IRS could put the pope in jail) just to scare off the bullies? It's seemed like Clinton knew alot more about the 'game' then he let on, knew that bushinc was psycho and that if he wanted to be certain Chelsea never got hurt or friends like Sue McDougal or Ron Brown/Vince Foster(?) etc it best to play the role assigned him, survive and wait for the opportunity....Back in early 90's, i heard that the real state of affirs re the economy after 12 years of republican looting the treasury was so atrocious that...well there was nothing clinton could do but try fix it while the repukes attacked him...iow clinton discovered the oval office was mainly for show, and the people were too cowed, too powerless, to resist. It would seem that Clinton would have much more in common with Jimmy Carter, but the OPTICS of that....not prudent etc. Bill's watching out for Chelsea (and Hillary too) the only way he can....

[lumpy]

16. Any way you stretch it

Clinton is no Jimmy Carter.

[Mark E. Smith]

12. Seems Obvious To Me - Clinton Is Trying To Grow His ...

... influence with Poppy to somehow help keep the Idiot Son from doing something truly catastrophic.

More proof that Bill Clinton is one of the great figures of our time.

[Liberalynn]

14. An interview with both of them

is going to be aired on the Ellen Degeneres show on May 18,2006.

[Rosemary2205]

15. I so totally do not agree

Clinton is using his star power to draw attention where he feels it's needed. If that means being a gentleman toward Bush 1 and working together to make a difference then why not. Instead of slamming Clinton, I'm more apt to honor him for managing to get Bush 1 off his butt and at least pretend like he cares about "the little people".

[Poppyseedman]

17. Maybe, just maybe, two ex Presidents have a common bond

very few people can connect with. They both belong to a very special club. Ex-Presidents.

Or maybe Bill and Poppy Bush are part of a secret society that really controls the world and Bill is really just a dupe sell out to the democratic cause.

18. they both know shrub is insane...it's for the good of the Country

[Bushy Being Born]

19. I think it's sweet that they're friends, for lack of a better word

Aside from the fact that they've done remarkable work together, their friendship and relationship alone has made me come to respect and admire them both more. If you're too narrow-minded to be friends with someone with whom you don't share the same political outlook you're to be pitied, nothing more. People who can set aside their differences for the public good or simply to build a personal friendship in the face of them make a positive impression on me, even more so when they're ex-presidents. I also don't see how this relates to Bush II in any viable way. If anything, Clinton and Bush I have shown they're both better men than the current president.

[lumpy]

22. Sweet ?

Oh, forget it. Good grief, how sweet. Yeah, I'm touched.

[Bushy Being Born]

34. That's what you had to pick up on?

I thought I explained myself eloquently enough in the actual post.

[Lautremont]

20. lovers

[originalpckelly]

21. Expect weird things in 2008:

We have George Bush and Bill Clinton working together. We have Hillary Clinton working with Newt, Rupert, and Trent. I am telling you all this is very strange. I don't think Hillary is simply working with these people to look more conservative. There is something fishy going on here.

[Tuesday_Morning]

23. I don't know...

but I don't like it.

[acmavm]

27. I'm with you. They've been bestest buds for a while now so it ain't

just for the victims of Katrina.

[salin]

31. A small piece of me enjoys knowing

how much it must psychologically bug the sh*t out of W.

[flordehinojos]

26. i just want to say that george herbert walker bush a/k/a POPPY is a

malevolent arachnoid man whose lust for wealth, power and control buys the presidencey for his son, buys him the white house for his personal use through the back door...he is not an honorable man and he is as much to be feared, or even more than his son.

36. Roger that. Peace out. (n/t)

:hi:

[goforit]

28. Plain and simple.....Clinton is a hostage under Poppy's trigger finger.

As is ALL of Congress and the Supreme Court.

[SaveElmer]

29. Maybe Bill is putting REAL Christian values into action...

After the despicable way he was treated by these people, that he can turn the other cheek to work with them for the common good is admirable!!!

[El Fuego]

30. Funny how George I seems decent in retrospect

compared to his son George II. I railed against George I at the time, but little did I know that we were actually well off. Who could have imagined the national nightmare his progeny would bring.

[salin]

32. Think about how much this must psychologically bother jr.

Always had an inferiority complex ... and a need to be told by throngs that he is 'better' than his father was as pres...AND that he is as popular as Reagan was... and that he is monumentally better than slippery bill.

And then there is the growing 'friendship' and seeming comraderie between his father and bill.

must drive W batshit.

[Disturbed]

33. Bill Clinton and G. Bush are both

Rethug Lites. They get along just fine.
