I don't believe his 'close eye on someone who needs to be watched' is very helpful if he can't bring himself to discredit a liar who is defaming his own son. I agree former President Bush is a 'class act', and Bill Clinton is the one of the biggest scumbags inhabiting the earth today, but I fear Clinton, with the MSM, are damaging President Bush. I would much prefer to see President Bush operating from a base of strength than one of weakness. I fear he has allowed himself to look weak while he has made Clinton look stronger by appointing him to positions where he gets attention. He could have been a first class gentleman by completely ignoring Clinton and Kennedy. Clinton and Kennedy are both uncouth scumbags and will never treat the Bushes with respect....they are proof that 'familiarity breeds contempt'. If GHWB had to say he liked Clinton, I wish he would have added that he was terribly disappointed that Clinton lacked the ability to be a decent and principled former President.
Hopefully, Clinton will get his due demotion when the timing is right. If Clinton continues his noise, he will begin to appear like Howard Dean. When that happens, Billy Boy will dig his own grave and spare everyone the effort.
By giving Judas Clinton a prominent world stage and associating him with his Dad, Bush has:
1. Confused, and thereby diluted support from, his base;
2. Tarnished and sullied the respect for his Dad by association;
3. Sent a disconnected naive old man, with Marquis of Queensbury civility, unarmed to a streetfight with a thug;
4. Emboldened his enemies, and the enemies of America, by giving them unrestricted access to a world stage, a pliant media, huge sums of money, and the reins of power;
5. Left the door wide open for a dangerous UN post for further selling out America;
6. Enabled the witch to ride the coattails to election.
Ironic, but poetically fitting, that Dubya is garnering '42' percent support - nice job!
