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.

Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Former President Bill Clinton's decision to reconsider a business relationship with California billionaire Ron Burkle reflects concern those financial dealings may embarrass his wife's presidential candidacy.

Securities and Exchange Commission documents and financial- disclosure forms filed by Hillary Clinton show that Bill Clinton, 61, has a financial stake in three investment entities registered in the Cayman Islands by Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. LLC.

I don't know folks this story seems to have vanished off the radar screen.

Maybe the original writer was drunk.

It's gotten to that ugly, uncomfortable point where George Bush has failed so much throughout the last 7 years that it is no longer funny to Republicans.

This is that time where Republicans look around and gaze in awestruck wonder on just how bad they have totally fucked up every nook & corner of America. And they fail to find the humor in it. They can't take a joke. They can dish it out but.....


There isn't the smallest most insignificant victory that they can point to. Start a checklist for yourself see if it doen't end up with a score of everything has gone to shit since Jan 20th, 2001. That fucking George Bush isn't just a Failure Monkey of the highest degree. He's a fucking Jonah. Bad luck. A jinx. Evil incarnate.

From wars to economic collapse to corruption to massive violations of every value we hold dear, you name it and George Bush has made it 20 times worse than we ever saw it before. Thanks George.

If Hillary can't even get control of Bill's nonsense, what makes you think she can get control of the problems we face as a country?
