Anyone who says he offered a glowing tribute did NOT listen -- go back and read the remarks and take note of what was NOT said.

Hi law girl, long time no hear. Just what I was saying in my post.

It comes down to class. Some things that went on in the Oval Office got enough recounting back in the 1990s, and need no further mention. Anything nice W says today makes any jibe of Clinton's later look more mean-spirited and crude. He did the right thing, the speech is unlikely to change anyone's opinion of WJC and might just nudge an opinion about W.

We should take notes. W has given us all the "true" but bland, vaguely complimentary things we can repeat when Clinton dies.

My favorite was when Pres. Bush noted that Bill Clinton really loved being president. *That's* an understatement if I ever heard one.

You are so right. I found the remarks wickedly funny and scathing while at the same time complementary. Brilliant.

Lawgirl is right - Anyone who says he offered a glowing tribute did NOT listen -- go back and read the remarks and take note of what was NOT said.

Read between the lines. My favorite part was when Bush said that it was evident that Clinton really, really enjoyed being president. LOL! That is no compliment.
