Former President Clinton weighed in on the nation's immigration debate Monday and took a lighthearted jab at Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist while addressing Princeton University seniors.
Clinton was the headliner at Class Day, held ahead of Tuesday's commencement at the Ivy League School.
The former president said the world is increasingly interconnected, with greater opportunity for more people with worldwide trade, widespread travel and increased diversity.
"Think about how much more interesting you are than the Princeton Class of 1906," he said. "A bunch of boring white guys like me."
Clinton praised President Bush for trying to find common ground with a proposed immigration policy that would tighten border enforcement while allowing some undocumented residents to become citizens.
"I sort of favor what the president tried to do because we were trying to get the best of both worlds," he said. "There is no perfect solution."
Clinton was introduced by Lauren Bush, a niece of the current president and a member of the committee that invited the 42nd president to speak.
"Clinton's name immediately came up," she said. "But then, we thought Hillary would probably be too busy."
Clinton responded with a reference to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, whose son Harrison also is in Princeton's graduating class.
"I thought Hillary was too busy to be here, too," Clinton said. "She told me she had to go to the Senate. And then I see Sen. Frist here, putting parenthood ahead of the public trust."

Good 'ole Bill. He has the nations' pulse, doesn't he? I really don't the guy. Panderer, philanderer, and a host of other er's I can't think of right now.

And I am going to be the dictator of it all whether you like it or not. Just let me position myself as head of the UN and Hillary as Pres of the US.

Depending on the audience, he is also the first Chinese president, the first Hispanic president, the first.....

I guess Clinton is correct, Frist seems to put a lot ahead of the public trust including immigration.
It seems Bill likes the Amnesty plan, that right there should give Frist a clue.
I didnt know Bill was a boring white guy, I thought he was the First black presient.
The facts is that no matter what color Bill claims to be he is trailer trash and can never be anything else.

Yeah, what a laugh riot this guy is. Bubba, if you're stricken with WLG (White-Liberal-Guilt); a sure-fire cure is to retire with what little dignity (if any) you have, shut your mouth, and mind your own business.
But of course, you're so narcissistic that you're incapable of emulating your predecessors.

"Clinton praised President Bush for trying to find common ground with a proposed immigration policy that would tighten border enforcement while allowing some undocumented residents to become citizens. "
The only time this creep is praising President Bush is when its going to lead to an influx of a bunch of illegals, who will become even more rabid RATS voters, giving the RATS a majority in this country for decades.
You can always depend on good ole BJ to be sleazy.

"Think about how much more interesting you are than the Princeton Class of 1906," he said. "A bunch of boring white guys like me." Bill is always 100% wrong and/or lying.
I imagine the level of academic accomplishment as exhibited by the Princeton Class of 1906 would shame today's graduates.

Why isn't John Murtha calling Slick a Mass Murderer for Janet Reno's "Massacre At Waco"?
We know. Slick's a democrat, that's why Murtha was silent then and now regarding the massacre of women and children at Waco, Tx.

Hi All- It is so unfashionable to be a caucasian of European heritage these days. All we've done is make most of the major medical, technological, and transportation discoveries of the last century (including putting men on the moon) along with winning a bunch of wars to defeat socialism, nazism, slavery...but other than that, white folks are pretty much useless and boring.

I'm fairly certain none of us has a true picture of the depths of Slick Willie's depravity and evilness. He is so slick and smooth on the outside--but how sick would a man have to be to be married to Hillareee?

This "guy" says some of the most childish and shallow things. I'm sure everyone remembers the "mummy thing," and also talking about taxes and how "he's a rich guy now and doesn't need tax cuts, blah, blah, blah..." No wonder the media worships this "guy" he is as worthless as they are.

Ouch - little First Niece sticks the knife in! Clinton had to turn around attack Frist to ease the sting. ;)

He's disgraced/degraded white males all his life by his own actions 'in' elected office... why should we expect different when he's 'out'.
The fact that Bush the Elder has embraced this walking POS further erodes my trust in the judgement of elected officials.
