And CNN's Candy Crowley, during her Sunday interview with George W. Bush and his brother, Jeb, had a little fun with the relationship.
"Your father, 41, has said that he looks at Bill Clinton like another son," said Crowley. "So who's been the better brother, Jeb or Bill?"

"I knew that was coming," said Jeb.

"You did? Why didn't you warn me, Jeb?" said George W. Bush.

"We're fond of Bill Clinton," George W. Bush said. "He's - I tell you, he's been incredibly gracious to our dad. And if somebody is gracious to our father - he ingratiates himself to us. And we are grateful to Bill Clinton."

"Who'da thunk it?" said Crowley. "That's a pretty bipartisan - I mean, would have going into - I mean, you know, you're out there restoring honor to the White House and ? "

"Listen, Clinton and I are buddies," the former president said. "First of all, we're born one month apart. We're now members of the former presidents club. We have done speaking engagements together. And I generally like him."

That honestly doesn't surprise me. I remember when George Bush senior did an interview on Larry King Live about Bush Jr. after 9/11, and he said that President Clinton was a much more frequent guest at the White House than anyone would imagine. I always thought that was strange, but now, not so much.

Bill Clinton has repeatedly condemned what he refers to as "The politics of personal destruction." I recall during W's administration, Bill appeared on several talk shows and specifically made the point that people can be of different ideologies and on different sides of an issue without resorting to personal attacks. When asked about his opinion about W Bush, Bill refused to criticize him on a personal level and urged others to do the same. He said that he didn't agree with many of W's policies and criticized the actions of the Bush WH, but always said that he was a decent person and he respected him and his father.

I greatly admire that about Big Dawg.

LOL. That's funny but good to hear.  Heartwarming... and healthy state of affairs.


Notice - none of the current living Presidents have much of anything to say about Pres.Carter!  Oh, yeah, he thinks he is better than all other combined! LOLhmm


Yes, I really do admire the Big Dawg's ability to forge connections and build bridges.  I hope they all work together for the good of humanity.
