On June 14th of this year President Bush welcomed Bill and Hillary Clinton back to the White House for the unveiling of their portraits.
Being the gracious, polite adult that he is, President Bush had some kind words for X42 and that made some people very unhappy. President Bush had done the right thing being gracious to his guests and I disagreed with those who would have had him exoriate old X42. However, each time I heard a sound bite of the president's speech it became clear, someone with an imagination and knowledge of clinton could interpret those words in another way.
Here are my interpretations of some of President Bush's remarks.
The years have done a lot to clarify the strengths of this man.
As we republicans predicted it would take time to see the real damage done to our country and this White House, how do you like your boy now? Still think his presidency was chock full of peace and prosperity? Oh, and some of you still can't name three accomplishments of that Administration.
As a candidate for any office, whether it be the state attorney general or the President, Bill Clinton showed incredible energy and great personal appeal.
Nothing of any significance was accomplished.
As chief executive, he showed a deep and far-ranging knowledge of public policy, a great compassion for people in need, and the forward-looking spirit the Americans like in a President.
Again, nothing of any significance was accomplished.
Bill Clinton could always see a better day ahead -- and Americans knew he was working hard to bring that day closer.
Looking past the terror threat doesn't make it go away. Thanks to the media many were lulled to sleep and received a nasty wake up call that morning in September.
Over eight years, it was clear that Bill Clinton loved the job of the presidency.
What better way to feed his huge narcissistic appetite?
He filled this house with energy and joy.
Too bad so much was wasted keeping this slug out of trouble and the only good times came from saving clinton's bacon from the fire.
He's a man of enthusiasm and warmth, who could make a compelling case and effectively advance the causes that drew him to public service.
Boy he loves to charm the ladies and what's the ultimate chick magnate? The White House of course.
President Bush is a smart man, he knew clinton would sink himself with that stupid tome of his. Why in the world would President Bush attack clinton when clinton does it so effectively to himself?
Thank you President Bush, it was a refreshing change from trying to parse all that bill clinton speak.
Here's an uplifting piece from an Irishman who has an excellent understanding of clinton and President Bush.

I know at least three nightly news anchors who are going to be very unhappy.
Poor CNN had nifty 'run up to the turn over' shows scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Awwwwwww
:-)
Paul Bremmer should be at the WH this afternoon receiving the Medal of Freedom!
FOX says Saddam to go on trial within a WEEK!
Lots of reports, too, that al Zarquawi has been captured. Not confirmed.
Oh, and Drudge says the same media outfit that got Ryan's divorce papers released is now going after Kerry's court files.
My choice would be to see them released the same day as the final 9/11 Commission report! LOL!
I read your post and thought that I was Rip Van Winkle, but by golly, it's twue, it's twue!
Maybe Saddam's trial will start July 26, wouldn't that just make your day?
Good for Bremer, he deserves it.
Please don't forget, I need to see Cheri's dress from the dinner. Gotta see that bead work.
Any more word on Zarquawi? Either way he is toast.
Check out the smile on Rummy's face.

Gotta comment on Laura's dress. Love the color,,, dislike the fabric.
I agree. The color is stunning, it matches Laura's eyes, but they keep putting her into that style of gown and it makes the First Lady look like a packed sausage when in reality she really has a cute figure.
I think the dems get a lot of their fundraising dollars from felons. Like follows like.
That "media outfit" that got Ryan's papers released is only the Chicago Tribune, one of the most influential papers going. They are affiliated with (own?) a Boston station and are using that relationship as reason enough to pursue Kerry's divorce papers.
The Trib is extremely liberal. I'd be really surprised if they actually do this. But I'm willing to be surprised.
