Bill Clinton opened his Global Initiatives annual meeting in New York on Thursday with high praise for Republican presidential nominee John McCain as well as his rival Barack Obama.
Introducing McCain at the gathering, Clinton pointed out that his wife Hillary and McCain took a congressional delegation on a climate change fact-finding mission to Alaska.
I want to say one thing in particular about John McCain in bringing him out here, Clinton said.
When most people in his party were thinking that global warming was overstated he decided to look into it.
He and the junior senator from New York, with whom I have a passing acquaintance, took two astonishing trips.
Clinton directed a comment to GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who was in attendance, saying that one trip was to your state, to Point Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost community in the United States, where the Eskimos told them they thought their way of life was coming to an end because of changes in the climate.
Clinton stressed that McCains work on global warming was not to score political points. He just wanted to know and they dragged along some very skeptical Republican senators who now are prepared to vote for some kind of bipartisan legislation, which will put America in a position to be a part of what is coming up by 2010, which is figuring out where we go next in the struggle against climate change.
John McCain wants to know and I am profoundly grateful to him [for] coming here today.
McCain took the podium next and the two got a laugh when Clinton accidentally took McCains speech when he picked up his own, Fox News reported. McCain quipped, What kind of a host is that?

“the junior senator from New York, with whom I have a passing acquaintance,”
At least he admits it.

And twisting,dont forget the twisting.
How could Bill not support The Big O ?
A future quote ..probably written by Biden for O.
” I have but one regret , that I have but one million UH”S to give !” uh UH , uh..uh
Someone needs to do a side by side comparison of O and his UH’s With the characters from beavis and butthead going heh, hu-hu heh ,hu ,heh
The clintons are actively campaigning for McCain in order to undercut Obama. They figure McCain is only a one term president with his age so it should be easy for Hillary to win in 2012. Hillary is so upset with Obama she’d do anything and everything in order to see him not elected.
I'm looking all over for confirmation, has anyone else heard this?
