The thing i learned about Bill Clinton when he was president during the 90's is this: Despite his intelligence and wit, he had no moral Compass. No barometer to read where this guy was really at!

Any President sitting in the White House, that would allow a young women intern to visit him for "sex", was inviting that great right-wing conspiracy to get him and trap him. And people like Billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife were salivating at the mouth when the Neocons finally got Bill Clinton with his "zipper down".

Why would Clinton, or vice versa Scaife, want to have anything to do with each other now...especially after Hillary is running for President of the United States in '08? Something smells fishy to me!

The war in Kosovo wasn't Golden.
The genocide was baloney.

Can you believe that Amnesty International is supporting military intervention in Darfur? Yeah, that sounds even more whacked than a rally of 10,000 liberals on the Mall a couple of weeks ago yelling for President Chimp to invade...uh, that is, "save" Darfur. Y'know, through the past decade and a half at least, I haven't seen a single "humanitarian" crisis -- real or perceived -- that the US State hasn't tried to exploit for either resource extraction or imperial expansion: Somalia, Kosovo, the Sudan, you name it. If anything about Darfur is "saved", it's going to be the big-assed puddle of oil sitting underneath Sudanese soil.

The Clinton years marked the end of the Golden Age. In terms of money and fiscal responsibility, who wouldn't like the Clintons? Also enviable was the state of foreign relations on a global basis.

These people like Scaife who are the ruling elite are busy stealing more money out of the US Treasury as we speak. Who do you think the tax cut benefited.....? Seriously, who?

These people have a long history of only allowing just enough money to the "common herd" to keep them from chasing the likes of them and their representatives down the streets with pitchforks.

The only truth that has come out of the mouth of Herbert Walker Bush's mouth was when he was talking to a journalist....."if he American people ever find out what we have done to them, they will chase us down the street and hang us"

The problem is that whoever "is allowed" to be President by the Bilderberg group, Skull and Bones and a few other secret, ruling elite groups, will be beholden to keeping "their" money safe. That's all. All we are for is providing cannon fodder for wars and working in factories, or cleaning toilets or some such piffle that they want us to keep busy with, you know porn, Hollywood stars and stuff.

Or, you can join the ranks of the Chistian Zionists who want to transform the military and America into a Theocratic force, so we will be there to protect "their way of life" ....not ours, theirs.

Hillary is owned--she's not a liberal--she's a warmonger and a Bilderberg attendee--she was chosen, just like Bill, to fool people into thinking there is a choice between the two corporate/military industrial complex/banker controlled parties

this should be a wake up call for at least those of you with IQ's over 85 or so--Murdoch is also a Hillary supporter and advisor--Hillary will be the death of America

It may just be pragmatism.

If you're a billionaire who has been a long-time and vocal supporter of all of the excesses that are now conspiring to destroy the society that we are accustomed to, it is just common sense to kiss the o-ring of the man who will likely end up having the spare set of keys to the bunkers.

A lot of Democrats seem to be living in a fantasy world where, just as long as we elect a president (Obama) with a foreceful enough message of hope and bipartisanship, he can overcome all the "divisiveness" in government and get things done.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but such a thing doesn't take merely being inspired and hopeful. It takes calculation and work. The reason the current government finds it hard to get anything done is because Republicans simply have no political interest in helping the Democrats score major legislative points.

If Bill wants to reach out to former enemies to attempt to soften the partisan enmity that surrounds his wife's candidacy, then we should be praising him, not whining about him sleeping with the enemy. Nothing gets done in our system of government by willpower alone. It takes bitter political enemies finding ways to compromise. I happen to like that system. I don't always get what I want, but the system remains intact, big change happening slowly and carefully.

It's not that Obama is fooling us with his message of bipartisanship-from-the-ether, it's that he doesn't appear to understand how Washington works. It's not pretty, but it is what it is. Only by electing a Democrat can any change start to happen. It doesn't really matter who, but my money is on Hillary Clinton since she (and her husband) are good at political calculations (meaning getting things done). That's nothing to criticize. We need more than warm, fuzzy principles in a presidential candidate. We need someone who can work the system.

Opportunistic Dipstick Meets Odiferous Humanoid

No, tell me it isn't so...how could such a travesty occur in America.....

You mean Clinton and Scaiffe sort of
like Tip O'Neill and Ronnie Raygun.....

like James McCarville and Mary Matalin...

or like Rumsfeld and Saddham Hussein shaking hands....

or do you mean like George Bush and John McClain's 'kiss'......to make nice

or like
John McCain and the Religious Right......

or like RUDEy and Robertson
(the ying and ying yang)
of the Republican Pratfall.....

oh, it's so difficult to know exactly what it means for Bill Clinton and Scaiffe to have lunch.....in America......

Ugh.

I'm not sure I get the intention of the headline...haven't we seen this before...politicians get out of politics and friendships or dealings grow despite political affiliations. It is true, the Clinton Foundation has and continues to do wonderful work around the world and those tired old rethugs who once made everything and anything political are now soft on that and perhaps see the error in their ways and what better way to make up for that...well, crap....is to possibly help when and where they can. Back then for them, it was possible, the main concern was getting power, money and the perks...having got that maybe they realized it's time to give back as the grim reaper approaches. It could be any scenario, but the headline blows this way out of proportion and the comments many have seem to jump to conclusions without knowledge.

All part of buying the Presidency for Hillary. For the first time since the Monica Lewinsky scandal, I am deeply disappointed with Bill Clinton.

I am a proud, overt member of the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy against Hillary.

You can be too!

Personally I don't see anything different in Bill talking to Scafie than in taking political advice from that Dick Morris guy. At some level everyone is human, some are just more disgusting than others. If you can't stand being in the same room with them, look deeply into yourself and recognize how perfect you must be - not.

I do agree with some who have expressed concern that Scafie is setting up Bill and Hill for a fall, but one has to be optimistic to get anything done in this world. Even Reagan said of the Soviets, trust but verify. That worked out pretty well for him, didn't it?

Well, one should look at this another way. Abraham Lincoln did his best to charm and change the opinions of those who fought him politically. He even planned to treat the South with magnaminous forgiveness and assist in its' rebuilding.

If Clinton can schmooze with Scaife, after what he has said about him and to him, then let him, if his attempts to serve AIDs is furthered, or if Scaiffe is silenced about a lot of other things.

Personally, I think Scaife is above all, a survivalist, and he sees the calamity that Bush/Cheney and the Republicans have created and that his interests are not best served by it.
