    Barbara Bush Calls Bill Clinton 'Son'
    Fri Jun 17 2005 09:43:00 ET

    Former President Bill Clinton discussed his relationship with President Bush's father last night on CBS LATE SHOW.

    Clinton: "I think we're good friends. I like him very much. I've always liked him. When he was vice president, I was still a governor. We worked together on a number of things. He hosted the governors, in 1983...at Kennebunkport."

    When they made an announcement about raising funds for Tsunami relief in Houston former First Lady Barbara Bush "announced us. And she said she has started to call me son. I told the Republicans there, I said don't worry, every family has one, you know, the black sheep. I told them, this just shows you the lengths the Bushes would go to get another president in the family. I wish I could get them to adopt Hillary."

    Especially for someone who was a bachelor and on the prowl. He'd be a sure fire magnet. :D

    On a personal level - Clinton does seem to be a very likable guy.

    There was also a story of how he and Bush 41 played cards and stuff on Air Force 1 (or 2?).

    GW and Clinton seem to get along pretty well too.

    Bush Sr. was the man, he was my favorite president of the past few decades.

    I have always thought that in a post-9/11 world, no one would have been more prepared/informed/sane to lead this country in its time of crisis like Bush the elder was. I have always admired the man.

    Now you know why I voted for Bush the "son" the first time: I thought he would be more like his dad. The second time I voted for him? Well, I wanted to give him the opportunity to clean up his own mess.
