Two dynasties?
Do give me a break. I still vomit at the mere mention of the "Camelot" bullcrap, and that was over last century.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 — When the Bushes and Clintons held hands before 15,000 mourners at Coretta Scott King's funeral on Tuesday, it looked like a prayerful moment in the life of the nation. But as almost anyone watching America's two leading political families knew, underneath the tranquil image was a drama of ambition, rivalry, love and alliance that could shape the 2008 presidential election.
The scene, a riveting tableau in the six-hour celebration of Mrs. King's life and the political power of black America, offered complex layers of interconnecting relationships: father and son, husband and wife, president and former president, adversary turned ally and first lady turned senator turned probable presidential candidate.
It was one of the most public manifestations to date of the odd friendship and mutual need of two dynasties that, on the surface at least, have almost nothing in common. But as President Bush put it in an interview with CBS News last month, "Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton." Mr. Bush made the remark in a telling exchange with Bob Schieffer, who said, "Well, you know, if Senator Clinton becomes president."
"There we go," Mr. Bush said.
"Maybe we'll see a day," Mr. Schieffer continued.
"Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton," Mr. Bush responded.
Earlier in the interview, when Mr. Schieffer noted that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was "running pretty hard right now for the Democratic nomination," Mr. Bush jumped in and called her "formidable," an unusually friendly assessment that may have been one reason that Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, fired back at Mrs. Clinton on Sunday as a candidate with a "left-wing record" and "a lot of anger."

I didn't realize the Clintons have a political dynasty...
At least they seem to have dropped the god-like Kennedy's (for now).
The Slimes is probably just as angry at the Clintons for having anything to do with the Bushes as lots of us are at the Bushes for adopting Clinton as part of the family.
The Clintons are a political dynasty? Bubba as president and Hillary after not-quite-one-term in the Senate? C'mon! The Bushes have had two presidents, a current governor, and a congressman/senator. there is no comparison. And if Chelsea ever gets elected to anything other than president of her condo association, I'll eat my hat!

This requires a three bag barf alert.
It would seem that, as the NYT and most of the People know, Bush is an honest and credible man. Forget that they hate him and try to depict him as a base, immoral liar, they are only too willing to try to use his credibility and make it seem as if that would make Hitlery a viable candidate. Irony at its best.
Disgraceful... Just disgraceful...
They've been partners since Iran-Contra, (but let's not mention the Mena Airport) maybe even before, back to Skull and Bones.
We need to break this pattern and get someone who didn't go to Yale and isn't part of their circle.
Richard Ben-Veniste always seems to surface around these guys, as well.
Just think about it. If you include Bush Senior's time as VP, these same two families have controlled the Executive Branch of government for the last quarter of a century.
Keep an eye on Chelsea.... she has been under the radar lately... as has Roger!
Roger isn't under the radar. He's drunk under the table.
That won't happen as long as people still think there's a difference between the two parties.
Oh, that's a comforting as hell thought....
