Clinton has famously formed a close friendship with the current president's dad. Clinton has been a repeat guest at the Kennebunkport, Maine, home of George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara.

Clinton also sparked curiosity when he was spotted at the White House last month. It turns out that he and the current president were having lunch, something White House aides said they do occasionally.

Now, aware of Laura Bush's involvement in issues that his foundation addresses, Clinton called several months ago to solicit her participation in the conference, said Anita McBride, her chief of staff.

6. He is a member of the family

Former President Bill Clinton discussed his relationship with President Bush's father last night on CBS LATE SHOW.

Clinton: "I think we're good friends. I like him very much. I've always liked him. When he was vice president, I was still a governor. We worked together on a number of things. He hosted the governors, in 1983...at Kennebunkport."

When they made an announcement about raising funds for Tsunami relief in Houston former First Lady Barbara Bush "announced us. And she said she has started to call me son. I told the Republicans there, I said don't worry, every family has one, you know, the black sheep. I told them, this just shows you the lengths the Bushes would go to get another president in the family. I wish I could get them to adopt Hillary."

[Spearman87]

10. Not for people who're willing to drop the partianship

.....occasionally to actually get something positive accomplished

[FoxOnTheRun]

20. I don't know what they are planning next.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. What are you talking about?

He wrote a 4 page letter to ABC. That's hardly silent.

[KoKo]

21. His lawyers sent three threatening letters the last claiming "defamation,"

which many of us felt that a legal actions would be forthcoming.

So far...no legal action, but it may be the lawyers are gathering evidence to see if there's enough to make a good case.

I don't know why he's falling all over the Bushies. Some have felt he was Poppy's way of getting at his evil spawn.

If he doesn't file a law suit with the DNC after all the petitions we signed...then I think I will forget about Bill.

4. this is how they "do it", folks..

It's infiltration at its very best..

MONEY talks..and it talks LOUDLY..

The same people who tortured BC for a decade, are now "playing nicey-nice" with him and giving him money and support, and because he apparently needs it , he goes along.. and the side effect, is that he must bury the anger at how they treated him and give in to the Stockholm syndrome...

They have bought his silence

Politics makes strange bedfellows..:(

[AlinPA]

5. He invited her? Strange bedpersons indeed.

relationship with Condi. She knows Bill's reputation. :evilgrin:

[onethatcares]

13. but she doesn't own a blue dress,

mainly just pantsuits that are made of drapery material.

[Beelzebud]

14. Wouldn't it be nice if Clinton spent time with liberals and progressives?

WTF.

I guess NAFTA, and media de-regulation weren't just policy mistakes afterall...

What a bunch of shit...

[leftchick]

15. that is the DLC for ya

keep those progressives and liberals FAAAAAAAAAAR away and cozy up to the conservatives.

:puke:

[Disturbed]

16. When we see Hillary at the vacation retreats

with the Bush Clan then we will know a deal has been struck. What deal? Guess.

[leftchick]

18. she has already been schmoozing with rupert murdoch

:puke:

[FoxOnTheRun]

19. I don't think FOX news can elect Hillary

Bush Clinton Bush Clinton would be too obvious...

[blm]

22. I wish he had spent more time on tv supporting Kerry and Dems than Bush

and Iraq war in 2003 and 2004.
