WASHINGTON

[Oldeconomybuyer]

a seasoned diplomatic hand

The same hand that "seasoned" the Oval Office sink?

[Rustynailww]

has bush resumed drinking?

[d4now]

fyi

[sleavelessinseattle]

Where is the plane that broke down after heavy turbulance in Australia right now?

[jocko12]

BUSH MUST BE SICK!!!!

[Nonstatist]

This is ridiculous

East Timor? Can there be anywhere more obscure than there? (maybe Timbuktoo..).. Anyway, this will shut the Press up for the while, and frankly, since they are the Enemy he has to live with, I don't think he's giving them much...

[rintense]

I could care less too, but I just don't think Clinton has any place whatsoever in the Bush administation. Maybe Bush wants to send Clinton away so he'll keep his big mouth shut regarding the Mideast. Regardless, I do not agree with Bush on this AT ALL.

I think back to before the election and all the people that railed at me for voting Libertarian.

"The horror, you're wasting your vote, you'll get a democrat elected.", they said.

"The Republican party will never change as long as they know that their base will vote for them no matter what.", I said.

I think we were both right!

Anyway, this will shut the Press up for the while

Even though this trip to the middle of nowhere (East Where?) has absolutely no news value, you can be certain the press will cover it with all the fevor of the slow-speed OJ chase.

won't it be nostalgic to have that walking POS representing our nation once again ??

without doubt.

And I thought he was in line to become Ambassador to McDonalds.

I thought Clintooon was gonna be the ambassador of the Chicken Ranch in Reno, Nevada....He'd be a perfect madam -ambassador...

This sounds like a great practical joke to me. Bill just won the booby prize. Imagine someone calling you and telling you "Hey shmuck, you've just won an all expenses paid trip to the presidential inaugeration in...East Timor!" What a pit. That's the country that awhile back was the subject of multiple photo essays showing rebels proudly displaying the body parts of all the innocent civilians they'd hacked to death. Maybe in the near future we'll be treated to a photo of a slightly smaller than average bent fallus.

This would be a good idea if the government revokes Clowntoon's return visa as soon as his plane leaves US airspace.

[Eternal_Bear]

to the people of East Timor:

HIDE YOUR WOMENFOLK!

[webstersII]

When Bill is out of the country he can't do any damage to the Bush administration. This is a brilliant move for a number of reasons.

singed,

The Entire Sane World

Freudian slip?
I know I'm feeling a little singed! 8^)

[Quilla]

I simply don't believe this story. Who seriously thinks Clinton will give up his speaking engagements and their associated paychecks for this time period? The poor guy's gotta eat. Bottom line - I don't this President Bush has made this decision.

[galt-jw]

hope you koolaiders are satisfied. after all, this is what gore would have done too. this clown is more interested in playing grab ass than to stand up for what he ran on. if you are tired of this crap, figure it out.

both parties are the same, and they have a power sharing agreement. it just so happens both parties stand at fifty percent backing....gee, what a coincidence. when stuff keeps happening in a pattern, lots of disparate stuff, IT AINT A COINCIDENCE. flame away, losers.
