Consider the source indeed. My only question was what is the Times up to here.

Since the Times is the outlet for the Clintons, I assume that this is a suck up piece on behalf of the Clintons in order to look more "centrist," unlike the Deaniac Bush-haters.

Nothing in this article makes me think that the Bush family suddenly thinks Bill is neater than sliced bread. Bush was cordial at the portrait ceremony. The Clintonistas are the ones who act like that was a big deal.

They are spinning small talk and courtesy to sound like Bill is going to be vacationing at Crawford. I don't think so.

"The friendship could offer political advantages ... as Mrs. Clinton considers a run for president in 2008."

"Political advantages"? What, is GHWB gonna' be her campaign manager?
