Former President Bush has spoken at length about his close ties to former President Bill Clinton, at times calling him his "brother from another mother."

CNN's Candy Crowley asked Bush during an interview published Friday where that leaves Hillary Clinton: "My sister-in-law!" the president responded light-heartedly.

Oy vey. No wonder this country went in the toilet so fast. We have idiots in charge. And 2016 -IF there is an election - should be the ultimate idiots drooling at the mouth campaign.

Does he get along with his in-laws? If I said you were like my sister-in law that would basically mean if I ever thought I could get away with killing you you’re dead.

Agreed re the sarcasm. I think W made a joke, and it went over a lot of people’s heads.

The Bushes are not even RINOs.

They are communist liberal Democrats.

Regan's biggest blunder, but I don't think he had much choice.

I think Reagan was 'handled', as in a Handler, by G.H.W. Bush. Remember, G.H.W. Bush was the head of the CIA for some time.

And isn't it one hell of a coincidence that within a few months of him taking office, he gets shot?

Real coincidence, there.

What is the old saying ‘keep your friends close, and your enemies closer’.

What does this saying have to do with Bush’s nauseating remarks about Hillary?

They’re not communists, but they could play them on TV.

In 1994 Dubya stuck his nose in California’s Prop 187 fight. He was on the illegal alien side.

Nothing he has done since then has surprised me.

Not ‘Islam is a religion of peace’.
Not ‘Jobs Americans won’t do.’
Not Hillary ‘being like a sister-in-law’.

He did do a good job at snowing a lot of conservatives who wanted to believe that he was one of them. But unless you are an incurious son of privilege he’s not like you.

...

Does anyone remember that Gerald Ford was being offered as a co-president by the GOPe? Reagan had to placate the establishment by picking someone like Ford or GHWB. Even though Reagan won, he still had to make deals. At least that’s my theory. I don’t think Reagan cared much for GHWB. Remember he’s the one who turned off Reagan’s microphone, and then when he was VP Reagan kept sending him to funerals.

“Even though Reagan won, he still had to make deals. At least that’s my theory.”

I suspect you’re right. People too young to remember seem to think that Reagan was a typical Republican when he was anything but. He was bitterly opposed by the GOP establishment, the same crew who have been running the show since Reagan left office. The mystery is why conservatives continue to put their hopes in a party that despises them.

He didn't know he was a raccoon.

Does Bush know he's a RINO?

Whatever happened to that old-cat-lady sewing circle, FR thread "A Day in the life of GWB"?

Are they still sending each other "toasters" whenever a new photo emerges of their idiot hero?

George, ask your “sister-in-law” about “bimbo eruptions”, Benghazi, Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm, and cattle futures.
