They're ba-aack. Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush, America's political odd couple, are teaming up for another big roadshow, this time to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Last week, they stood shoulder to shoulder with President George W. Bush in the Oval Office, the 59-year-old Clinton now completely gray and looking a bit fragile, and the 81-year-old Bush looking stooped and a bit weary. Later the pair appeared together in Houston, chatting with evacuees at the Astrodome and the Reliant Center Arena. Their goal was to demonstrate unity at a time of calamity.

How can we miss 42 if he won't go away?
Clinton probably has AIDS.
Clinton splits his time among traveling, Chappaqua, and his office in Harlem, with periodic trips to his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark. In Chappaqua, he often strolls the town's streets and stops regularly for yogurt and juice at the local Starbucks. On one occasion, someone standing in line congratulated him for his post-tsunami effort, and Clinton began a discourse. A crowd gathered. "It became like a classroom," recalls Starbucks employee Josh Dreisacker. "And my supervisor, not knowing it was him, comes out and says, 'Who's the old man holding up the line?' " Dreisacker says Clinton "seems more like a relaxed hippie, sort of, who comes here to chill out."
Paging our Chappaqua correspondent: Is this writer from the Jayson Blair School of Journalism?
Every week I see her on TV, screaching at a different fund-raiser. I see him every week with W, or B41... The writer (sounds female, from the adoration, but could just be another pansy) is obviously just another groupie! I wonder if he/she/it wears knee-pads?
These folks went to DC, opened up the country's secrets, to feed the ChiComs, and wrote books extolling their virtue.
The Bush WH has disappointed me. I'd just like to have a photo from inside that Chappiqua home. I'd bet good money there are art works, and valuables from the WH...
It irks the crap out of me, every time I see them with the Bushes. They should be swinging from the WH Portico! That is what you are supposed to do with traitors, not praise them, and hug them...

My own amateur psychologist view of this man is that he is empty, compensating with a great talent for mirroring whatever the people he is with want to see. There is "nothing" there whenever he is alone. He hates being alone, because he probably sees nothing when he looks in a mirror. Remember all the late night phone calls that he was famous for. I think if he didn't hear a voice, he would panic in an empty room.
When he is in the company of GHW and Barbara Bush he probably acts quite appropriately. When he is with Jesse Jackson he resumes the act of the first black president. When he was with Newt Gingrich, Newt thought he was dealing with a rational leader. Etc, Etc
There is no There, there. But he is so good at improvisation, that he fools people all the time. He even convinced an ugly, brainy law student that he loved her, and she should share all her notes with him, and spend time tutoring him, because he was worth her time and effort.
