oh and Greenspan says he is a REPUBLICAN !!!
RIGHT
would a Republican trash all in his party and support Clinton as the smartest??

Here's a quote from the Wall Street Journal's review of his book:

Mr. Greenspan, who calls himself a "lifelong libertarian Republican," writes that he advised the White House to veto some bills to curb "out-of-control" spending while the Republicans controlled Congress. He says President Bush's failure to do so "was a major mistake." Republicans in Congress, he writes, "swapped principle for power. They ended up with neither. They deserved to lose."
I didn't see the 60 Minutes piece, but Greenspan sounds like a good Republican to me, albeit one who does not suffer RINOs gladly! His opinions would not be out of place on this forum.

Greenspan also favors nuclear power, predicts carbon caps and taxes won't affect global warming, and says the way to fix income inequality is to improve education, not tax the rich.

As for saying Clinton was the smartest, that is not the same as supporting him. Intelligence simply makes a guy like Clinton more dangerous.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE CBS TOOK A BOOK WITH MANY CONSERVATIVE POINTS AND SOME BUSH-CRITIQUES AND SHOW-CASED IT AS A BUSH-BASHING FIESTA.

The Greenspan era:

I look at Clinton's "talents" like this: He has constituants bent over with a pine cone up the tookas and no KY, and they're thanking him asking for another because it feels so good. Sometimes knowing Bush can only keep one train of thought on the tracks at once is comforting.
