Okay, so let me get this straight. I'm supposed to bash Clinton here but excuse President Bush for saying "he was an innovator, a serious student of policy, and a man of great compassion. In the White House, the whole nation witnessed his brilliance and mastery of detail, his persuasive power, and his persistence"?
W would have been at a Kerry inauguration, it comes with the territory.
I think every statement W and his dad made were dripping with sarcasm and double entendres.
