Did anyone bother reading to the end of the Newsmax article, where it notes that President Bush's brother Neil spoke at the Jeddah Economic Forum in 2002? And what the article doesn't say at all is that the current president's father, George H.W. Bush, spoke at the forum in 2000. The noted jihadist Steve Forbes--yeah, the editor in chief of Forbes Magazine and former Republican candidate for president--is also one of this year's speakers. All that could be why Newsmax is the only "news" outlet making a big deal out of this.

I believe that this explains why 43 seems to let a few things slide. He knows that if he aggressively pursues some of the dirty connections of the Democrats, it will expose 41. (I didn't know about Neil, but that doesn't help, either.) IMO, the Democrats' hands are waaaaay dirtier, but if the media get hold of this story it will be all Republican dirt, all the time.

I think it's why he encouraged 41 to hangout with Clinton, to keep an eye on him in order to prevent more shenanigans. He couldn't risk exposing Clinton directly, because the dirt would splash back on the Bush family.

Ahh, but you are only half clever my FRiend, in case you didn't notice, the other notable speakers mentioned in the article didn't stab America in the back by spouting off like Aljazeera Gore did. There is in reality, probably nothing terribly objectionable about speaking before the JEF, but as another poster pointed out, it isn't so much who paid the bills, but what the speaker SAID, and the Gorebot said plenty, all of it damaging to U.S. foreign policy, and all of it partisan.

THAT'S the difference.
