Bill Clinton may have forced her husband out of office - but Barbara Bush still considers him family.
The former First Lady lavished praise on the man who defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992, lovingly saying that Clinton is “a good fellow” who is “very thoughtful about calling.”
“He never said a mean word about anyone,” she said in an interview with Parade Magazine set to appear this weekend.
She even revealed that her sons - including, of course, George W. Bush, who followed Clinton into the Oval Office - call him “My brother by another mother.”
“He’s very nice,” Barbara Bush continued. “I think she thinks of George [Sr.] as the father he never had.”

So true octex...Kasich dragged Clinton kicking and screaming into both the Budget cutting and welfare reform actions. Clinton fought it the entire way.
But Obama has never relented after his midterm debacle. He is willing to go down with the ship of ObamaCareTax and take us all down with him.
Its all one big globalist club at the top.
It’s symbiotic. The Bushes get an ingratiating opportunist who flatters and remembers. Clinton gets a family who believes it and returns it.
Three Presidents. Two who share family and party ties and another who doesn’t yet fits like a glove with them.
It’s their world. We just live in it.
yup. Bushes and Clinton are well insulated from whatever America becomes. Their open borders policies? Just a big laugh along with Obama. Will never impact any of them
Here’s something that might be pertinent.
Barbara Bush is widely known to be the most politically astute/savvy member of the family, as well as it’s “enforcer”. Seriously. Years ago I ran in a social circle that included members of Bush41’s advance team and to a man they all agreed that if there was one person in the family you did not want to get on the bad side of, it was Barbara. She’d shiv you and toss you out the rear door of AF1 in an instant.
In this article there are three things that bear noting. One, the general chumminess of the family with Clinton. Two, the comment about how Clinton gets along with “all” the brothers. Three, the comment about how Clinton doesn’t say a bad word about anyone.
Being a country club Liberal/Rockefeller Republican/RINO aside, I don’t think Barbara would say something like this unless there was a purpose behind it. Heck, even her “rhymes with witch” comment about Gerry Ferraro back in 1984 was deliberate and planned.
Now, why would she want to point out - now - how close her family is with Clinton, the fact that “all” the brothers get along well with him and that Clinton never speaks badly of them?
It’s almost like she’s trying to get ahead of the curve on something (aka political inoculation). Against a guy who is a HUGE fundraising and GOTV producer for the Democrats.
Mittens still hasn’t settle on a VP yet? Or has he?
Jeb Bush? Lord help us.
Disgusting.
She needs to go back to playing the loan officer’s mother in the Ditech commercials.
The NY Daily News out of the clear blue sky randomly decides it’s time to go have a chit chat with Babs?

I always chuckle when people outside Washington are surprised that politicians and judges from opposite sides of the aisle hang out and like each other.
Scalia and Ginsburg’s friendship pretty much says it all.
Politics is business...
Barbara Bush wanted the praisworthy Sarah P. to “go back to Alaska,” and, I guess, leave the politicking to the elites. Barbara Bush can join C. Christie. (see below)

A baby killing old golden spoon hag. Wife and mother to pathetic losers. Who cares what she thinks about anything?
Uh-oh! Must... run... to... the... bathroom!
