Billy Jeff should have been overlooked too. Him and Bush 41 are hanging around together too much now days. I guess Billy Jeff thinks hanging around with a Republican will make Mrs. Billy Jeff look more of a centrist(sp).

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.

Nonstory. FWIW, WABC radio reported that Carter wanted to go but changed his mind when he found out that only 5 reps could go.

Believe how much of that as you will.

Still probably more active than Chevy Chase's career over the past few years though, huh? :)

Jimmy was more successful at writing poetry than he was as a president.

This is the greatest gift President GWB can give the Republican candidate in 2008. "

Cheech and Chong would looove whatever you're smokin'.

Bill Clinton waged war against decency, honor, and country, and the Bush's are treating him like a long lost son for their own reasons.

If I'm residing amongst a pack of wolves, attempting to thrive, I know the pack will follow its leader. If I neutralize the leader of the pack without engaging combat, I can fight the real battles and win a few more.

As Kennedy, Kerry, Reid and Pelosi attempt to step to the front, are they given the same currency from the MSM as they do Hillary?

Any Clinton howling about the "last 8 years" will ring hollow in 2008.

Nothing is stopping him from going...just not as part of the official delegation.

A long fall on the way down.

Agreed. For purposes of diplomacy and decorum having at least one high profile Democrat among the five is important. Clinton, in spite of what I may think of him personally, is the ideal choice.

Ok, yes it sounds naive, but I was talking about how it looks on the surface. I don't deny there are probably many things going on here.

With all due respect, I disagree...

There is no such thing as "neutralizing" the Clintons without neutralizing the MSM.

Hitlery will carry on with the lies, innuendos, and distortions during Camapign '08 just as they have forever.

If you want to "follow the ball," consider the quid pro quo angles that 12 years of Bush presidencies, and 8 years + another 4 for Hitlery provide.

Nope, pro-Mexico, pro-Big Gub'ment, pro-Amnesty Dubya Bush will be accomplishing what should NEVER have been accomplished: Driving a giant stake between the shoulder blades of the GOP -- and destroyed it as Hiltlery becomes President.

Thanks to him and whatever deals he's made with the NWO cartel, conservatives will NOT be supporting the next neo-con Pubbie for President.

Bush is showing Bubba how a gentleman conducts himself. Gracious to a fault, W has always given Slick the benefit of gentlemanly treatment.

I suspect that the lessons have not fallen on deaf ears.

Maybe it is pay back time. Remember Slick offered the elderly Bush the bed on the plane they where touring Sumartra in. Slicks a real charmer when need be.
