I was rather disturbed to be running across a number of websites which had to do with allegations about the Bushes and drug-running, going all the way back to Iran-Contra,
some of which ALSO sought to tie Bill Clinton into the same allegations as being somehow involved with them...
something about an airport in Arkansas supposedly being used as a drug entry point while Bill was Governor....

Don't recall the exact details as I really didn't want to know,
I wasn't there to hunt up any dirt on Bill Clinton,
but I do recall thinking at the time,

"If all that were true, it would certainly help to explain the 'closeness' of their two families...."

Anyway, I am disgusted with the Clinton affinity for the Bushes.
The phrase 'sleeping with the enemy' comes to mind...
