The press will just fawn over himIn East Timor? LOL. They didn't even cover that hellhole when fighting was going on.
Hey, listen, for those of us who hate the guy , any kind of exposure for the guy is irritating. But, really, this "assignment" is like a cruel joke.. Hey Bubba.. they need you over in East Timor!! Hahaha...
Maybe I'll withhold judgement for a little bit. If Clinton goes to E. Timor, then Bush made a mistake because a Clinton doesn't do anything public that isn't in their best interest. If Clinton declines, then Bush was trying to sucker him into an inferior position and Clinton wouldn't do it. Still this is a mistake for Bush just from judging the reaction of his base voters.
