I went back and read the entire article in USA Today. Clinton sent George H.Bush to state funerals, so there is precedence. On further reflection, this may not be a bad move-as long as it is an isolated one.It makes GW look like the bigger man and you can't overlook the irony of sending Clinton to someplace most people can't find on a map.

There are those here that hate Ted Kennedy and hate Clintoon and others and think they should never be mentioned or looked at or dealt with for any reason.

Democrats try to paint Bush as an evil partisan, but he uses Kennedy as a co-sponsor of his education plan, uses Zell Miller as a co-sponsor of his tax plan, acknowledges Rep. Moakley in his SOU speech, invites Mayor Street of Philly to sit with his wife at the SOU speech (and goes to Street's block party on Independence Day), and so on. Then when voters are asked to believe Bush is just a partisan and that is agenda is not bi-partisan, they'll reject that idea because they've seen these overtures. Sending Clintoon to East Timor is meaningless. If there is an independent voter that likes Clintoon's job performance that would have supported Bush in 2000 if he didn't think that Bush was a Clintoon hater, then Bush has just won over that voter with this meaningless gesture.
