Where are these pics from? What event are these people attending with the Bushes?

Oh, too bad you missed it. It was the unveiling of the Clintons' portraits. Yes, Hillary is depicted wearing a black pantsuit.

President Bush was extremely gracious and presidential. This contrasted nicely when it was Clinton's turn to speak. He declared he felt like a pickle, told what was supposed to be a charming anecdote about a young boy telling him he thought all presidents were dead (Clinton chose to share this tale 3 days after Ronald Reagan was buried), and finally, told of how a cartoonist once portrayed him as the victim of a chainsaw massacre.

It was bizarre, to say the least.

Oh, and when President Bush made a mildly funny reference to Clinton spending 6 months working on the McGovern campaign, that is what sent Clinton into spasms of uncontrolled laughter and his face got purple/red.

Weird.

I noticed that too! I thought ole Slick was going to bust a gut.

That entire portrait ceremony showed the sharp contrast between President Bush, the statesman....and Clintoon, the bafoon.
