GAG alert!

BILL CLINTON, STARS, TURN OUT FOR BONO (Fox link)

The second night of the long Grammy weekend was almost as good as the first. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences MusicCares dinner honored U2 singer Bono...

Clinton — looking exceptionally tanned and rested — came to present Bono with the Person of the Year award. The crowd went wild for Clinton, too.

Echoing the anti-war theme of the night, Clinton said: "If you immediately think it's us versus them, then this will not be a world for your children to grow up in."

Bono told the crowd, among other things: "The war against terrorism is bound up in the war on poverty." At one point he declared: "I don't want to die stupid."

Sigh. That Clinton..."If you immediately think it's us vs them....". Gotta admit, that's what I immediately thought at 9:15 AM, September 11, 2001.

But at least he's consistent. He flaps his gums, mouths platitudes, and can still deny he made an antiwar statement.

He'd better hope he doesn't die today.

Oh my, how did I miss this part? Rested? From what? The piece of crap hasn't worked a day in his life, let alone the 2+ years since he left the White House.

What a statement from bent - what the heck's he talking about?

Nitwit.
