Yeah, from much that I've read about the likable public Bill Clinton, he's one ex-President that former CIA Director GBush would want to keep closer than others. Much that I've read about Bill Clinton is that he's "officially" charming, endearing, likable, all the things that make for charismatic personalities but in his case, I do believe that personna is both publicly polished and not at all an accurate depiction of his character. He's a charming guy!

So are many serial rapists, just saying.

It does not (at all) surprise me that he'd be talented in public with fundraising and especially in other -- and less sophisticated -- countries, particularly, where male charisma is much of what "rulers" are about.

I'm also thinking over the huge number of characters that the Bush family has met and entertained over their intense lifetimes and I'd think that they are all quite talented at keeping their own amidst whatever and whomever. Perhaps it's also a bit of service involved as to them keeping Bill Clinton closer than usual. Service in the Christian sense.
