Bill Clinton may have forced her husband out of office - but Barbara Bush still considers him family.

The former First Lady lavished praise on the man who defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992, lovingly saying that Clinton is “a good fellow” who is “very thoughtful about calling.”

“He never said a mean word about anyone,” she said in an interview with Parade Magazine set to appear this weekend.

She even revealed that her sons - including, of course, George W. Bush, who followed Clinton into the Oval Office - call him “My brother by another mother.”

“He’s very nice,” Barbara Bush continued. “I think she thinks of George [Sr.] as the father he never had.”

I get where she is coming from. What’s past is past. She doesn’t hold a grudge.

Lizards cavorting with other lizards. What’s new?

"and his lady friends are so charming. They're movie actresses you know."

[Travis McGee]

Yep. High walls, plenty of diesel for their giant generators, and plenty of employment opps for Blackwater-type security pros, while the herd is thinned out....

We all said it would take decades to clean up Clinton’s mess, that is a foot note as what we now have.

He treats him like a father? Who’s to say that he’s not?

Bill Clinton really never had a father nor much of a family, so he's found one with the Bushes, and politics aside they are a big, loving, good-hearted, welcoming family. I don't think there's anything nefarious, and I wish he wasn't hanging around with them, but I sure can understand his relationship with them.

Who knows, maybe it will be good for him.

My respect for the Bushs'decreases daily. They are so close to being Liberals that it impossible to distinguish a difference.

Sorry for the double post - my pc had a hiccup.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Evil. Pure, horrifying evil.

Where are the true heroes who can and will fight this?

Was she out somewhere polishing her pearls when BJ said this? Bill Clinton: Economy Bush’s Fault, Obama Will Win

Maybe she doesn't thing her son Georege is anyone.

The differences between GHWB and Slick Willie were actually pretty slight, and that becomes even more apparent with each passing year.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I threw up a lot ....

Sad when one can’t see a phony when they see one!

[laweeks]

She sure has a lot of nice things to say about a rapist, sexual predator, liar, perjurer, traitor, and draft dodger. Maybe she’s just getting old and feeble minded.

I wouldn’t cross the street to see that disgusting pig. And she praises him. Yeegoddddds!

[IbJensen]

The Alzeimer years are much happier when both husband and wife share.

Why GHWB could have been Clinton’s father. Somebody had to be otherwise Billy Goat’s mother is a -——!

[qman]

It’s funny how Bill Clinton’s presidency look good compared to the communist usurper we’ve got in the White House now!!!

[Yogafist]

Thats a good point. We should start an over/under on how long it will be before the Democrats nominate a presidential candidate who knows who his father is.
