It helps to remember that the Clinton-Bush coziness goes back to the days of Iran-Contra, when Papa Bush was supervising covert arms shipments to Latin America out of Arkansas (with drugs making the return trip) and Governor Clinton was busy looking the other way. Further, as was clear during abortive Republican investigations into various Clinton scandals, in the culture of impunity of Washington, politics stops at corruption's edge. Almost all major corruption is either bipartisan or common enough that one side can effectively blackmail the other.
It makes me sick every time I see old man Bush and Clinton yucking it up. I know in my heart they’re laughing at us. They probably sit around and talk about the old days when they were all hauling in the bucks and making plans to put Bill and W in the white house.
