Ex-President Bush Fires Back: I Never Agreed To Be Clinton Envoy

George H. W. Bush has responded to Bill Clinton's claim that under President Hillary, the two ex-presidents would travel the world restoring America's image.

Clinton said yesterday:

Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again.

The media world was aflutter with the possibility: a former Republican president acting on behalf of Democratic leadership, to repair the foreign policy failings of his own son.

Turns out Bush 41 hasn't exactly signed up for the proposal, and he's not too keen on the insinuation that W. is doing such a bad job. Former President Bush's office has just released this statement:

Former President Bush wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an "around-the-world mission" with either former President Bill Clinton or Senator Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.

And just in case anyone thought H.W. Bush had so warmed to Bill Clinton that he was considering endorsing Hillary, the statement concludes:

President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for President, and looks forward to supporting their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.

Rudy the Red Handed Mayor

Rudy the red handed Mayor
Didn't chose his friends too well
He has a pal named Bernie
Bernie's headin for a cell

All of the other Mayors
Used to call Rudy names
They say he whacked Jimmy Hoffa
And played a lot of Mafia games

Then came 9/11 and
Rudy rose to fame
All he did was walk around
But everybody knows his name

Now all the Repubs love him
Even tho he wears a dress
They think he's the Right Guy
To clean up Doofus Dubyas' mess!

Hey, Daddy Bush says:

"President Bush is looking forward to supporting their candidacy
once the Republican nominee is determined­."

Any endorsement from W will be the kiss of
death to the GOP presidential candidate.

Nov. 08. Hurry up and get here.

Former President Bush wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States and his burning ambition to drive the country into a ditch. He was however, surprised to learn that his son had a foreign policy, as he has always assumed the foreign policy belonged to Dick Cheney. Former President Bush has not been contacted about going on a mission to help repair the damage that his chimpanzee has wrought, however he would be open to doing it if it paid well. Former President Bush and his wife, Seahag, gratefully acknowledge that they sired the aforementioned chimpanzee in a now forgotten moment filled with liquor and bad judgement.­The former President is happy that the country is moving toward fascism, which his own father helped to bring about, and that rich white can make alot of money while other children are sent off to fight wars for them.

How bout. . . . .

Bill Clinton's secret plan to ruin America! Bill and Hillary plot to tax the rich and transfer wealth to the people!

[woundedduck]

Bill's brain and mouth have to be controlled by different personalities, because he hasn't made a lick of sense in years.

Oh Al, where art thou ?
It's looking like we're going to have to draft you at the convention next year if we want to win. None of the ones out there is ready for a solo flight.
Get ready for Gore/Obama folks.
It makes sense,its logical and it would be a formidable combination.
It's time to get serious about a serious candidate who can win.It's embarassing to watch was going on.

THE CHICKENSHIT CHICKENHAWK NON-BATTLE HYMN

From the shores of Tripoli-i-i
To Montezumas' halls
We talk tuff but never fight
Cause we aint got no balls

But we whine and gripe and bell-y-ache
While we hide in our right-wing holes
We're keyboard commandos on the march
We're the chickenshit Huffpo trolls!
