on Tweety's Show--in the "tell me something I don't know" segment of Tweety's show.

1. Yes, Bush 43 is sensitive to nuance and political impressions

...unlike his idiot kid in the White House.

[peacebird]

5. please - the thought of Jenna or Barb as prez is beyond nauseating...

even tho I *know* you meant bush41.....
:hi:

[Little Wing]

6. W = 43, H "Read my lips" is 41

:)

[mloutre]

7. Um, yeah, I knew that...

I guess it's just an automatic trick of my brain what made me type that, it thinking that putting Shrub in office is the same thing as going backwards by comparison to his father -- who, whatever else you may think about him, was ten times the scholar, ten times the hero, and ten times the politician that his little-bush offspring ever will be.

[Tellurian]

9. Bush 41 was never known as a scholar or a hero..

No one wanted to hire Bush 41 when he got out of college..
If you admire him so much...post your accolades at Free Republic!

[Little Wing]

11. Calm down

Remember it doesn't take much to be 10 times the anything of Bush 43

[mtnsnake]

15. Amen. Bush 41 is one of the nastiest people on the face of the earth all thru his life

He is a mean-spirited individual.

[TwilightGardener]

17. No, that would be Babs--Poppy takes second place.

[TwilightGardener]

2. They will have to stand at their open windows late at night, blowing

kisses toward Houston and NY and wishing on the same bright stars...

[senseandsensibility]

3. LOL

funny.:)

[Little Wing]

4. Yuck

:puke:

Bill, what happened?

[sasha031]

8. The real Bill

He was always a rethug and Globalist, good ole DLC.

If Hillary wins, nothing will change, she shares the same oil interest as the Bush's.

When are people going to see things for what they really are?

You don't see Al Gore hanging with the Bush's nor the Clinton's for that matter.

[Tellurian]

10. All a pack of lies..

If you think it's true, post your proof.

18. What a steaming pant load

He was always a rethug

Yeah, genius, that's why he's universally hated by Republicans and despised by the Right Wing alike. Try making some sense instead of just posting blatant lies.

You'd have much better luck making idiotic statements like yours at the MU where they might believe that kind of shit.

[blm]

21. Why did Bill use his cache rehabilitating Bush1s image and legacy instead of Carter's

over the last 6 years?

[flpoljunkie]

23. Why, indeed.

[ChiciB1]

12. Well, I REALLY Thought Bill Clinton Was A GREAT President AND

I still think he can "WOW" a crowd like no other, I NEVER was happy about his association with the likes of ANY of the Bushies! I don't think he's crazy about "43" but he sure turned me OFF with his very very out in the open, often broad casted relationship with POPPY!

This was the beginning of my problem with supporting Hillary. Then came Hillary and her acquaintance with Kay Bailey Hutchison and others like here and I wondered even more. I felt like I was being manipulated by some "game" that most politicians do play. I just didn't feel comfortable with it. I'm sure it's a game most of them feel the need to play and it DOES work by and large. IMO, that's too bad.

Even when he was President I knew he was more "moderate" than I, but felt he was doing a good job. What I NEVER understood was how such an intelligent man could have gotten "caught" with his "umm" in the cookie jar so much!

Hey, men are men and so what?? But he got elected even though people knew about his wanderings, but to have let it happen in the WH always confused me. And do I think it's stopped? No, but I still don't care... that's between Hillary and him. I think I understand their relationship with each other and they will probably ALWAYS be married. But IMO, I feel it's one of those "I got your back" type of relationships that will endure forever. And I think they have real love and respect for each other too... but I don't think it's "romantic" love.

But I bet we ALL know people who have the same type of relationship and it works for them. I pass no judgment here about that. Many people stay together for many reasons that aren't necessarily "romantic!"

[ChiciB1]

14. Have To Add Something Here.... WOMEN Too Fool Around!

Just didn't want to get attacked by "men" out there for depicting men as the only ones who "fooled" around!

I'm a BOOMER... I have had women friends who did it all the time and they didn't want to leave their husbands, it was just their nature.

[jaksavage]

16. The vast right wing conspiracy

The Bush's were in before WW2,
Clinton, bill, started well but fell into the same traps over time as they all do
Clinton, Hill, is the repuke pick for president.
She is perfect cause she is hated by the up tight white men and she plays ball
They maintain their villan but behind the scenes will be biz as usual

[ChiciB1]

19. I've Made These Points Myself... Last Year I Said The Repukes

wanted Hillary to be the nominee because of what you just said. And yes, WHITE MEN do really have it in for her!

Even If I loved her politics, her savvy and her intelligence... it is very very hard for me to support her because I can see how THEY are "slobbering" for her to be the nominee!

Add to that this little combo... Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush and now America wants ANOTHER Clinton? It's hard for me to see this scenario coming down the pike!

I would think that most people would prefer having more than TWO families dominating the Presidency of America!

Would you call it a pseudo-dictatorship or not? With many countries already hating THIS Administration, what would they think if she got elected? Just my suspicions!

[blm]

20. Because they believe people are STUPID and will buy their ACT of opposing leaders

yet again.

[Cha]

22. Why? Because they don't want

the mainstreamers to get the idea that hillary is too close to the bushit?

[AtomicKitten]

24. The "tell me something I don't know segment" is what?

Factual or gossip?

Neither.

At DU it is just another springboard for derision. :eyes:

[NormanYorkstein]

25. so they are going to pretend to not be friends until after the election

and then I suppose they will stop pretending?

[blm]

26. That's it in a nutshell. The point is to MANIPULATE voters through 'perception management'

they want people to BELIEVE that the Bushes and the Clintons are not aligned. They want people to BELIEVE that Hillary just might hold BushInc accountable for their crimes of office.

But, we know darn well she will NOT. We need to elect a Democrat from the anti-corruption, open government wing of the Democratic party. No more Dem administrations protecting the secrecy and privilege of the Bush family.

[Imagevision]

27. How pathetic, I find it amazing this story even made it out... (shhh...!)

[mmonk]

28. This whole story is wrong on so many levels (I'm not saying it's inaccurate).

Friendships put on hold for the election. What can one say and why is it put out as a story?

[blm]

29. To manipulate voters into believing there's no alliance between Clintons and Bushes.

.

[mmonk]

31. I know the premise.

[donsu]

30. Bill and Poppy's friendship stinks
