Don't know why this news. Everyone knows that Clinton can poke a flight attendant from the floor just as well.

NEW YORK (AP) -- On their tour of tsunami damage in Southeast Asia, former President Bill Clinton once allowed his predecessor, former President George H.W. Bush, to sleep on the plane's only bed while he stretched out on the floor.

The government plane in which the presidents toured the disaster area had one large bedroom and another room with tables and seats, according to an interview with Bush in this week's Newsweek.

Bush, 80, said Clinton offered ahead of time to give the older former president the bedroom so he could lie flat and avoid paining his body. Clinton, 58, decided to play cards in the other room that night.

The next morning, Bush said he peeked in and saw Clinton sound asleep on the plane's floor.

"We could have switched places, each getting half a night on the bed, but he deferred to me. That was a very courteous thing, very thoughtful, and that meant a great deal to me," Bush said.

Bush said he and Clinton are not close, but have been compatible on the tour, partly because Clinton respects his age.

i love how this story starts out as honorable deference and ends up being about Bubba deciding just to party all night.

Yeah.

Also shows the Elvis-like respect for elders Clinton has, even though GHWB has made no secret in the past about how much he disliked Bubba.

Course it'd look pretty bad for Bill if he'd said "hey, old man, sleep on the damn floor."

Seriously, Mikey, first time I saw this, I thought it said Clinton lets Bush take THE BUTT....woulda been much more interesting.

And if anyone needs a lesson in how fucking petty The Bush family is, just see the "We're not close, but we get along because he respects my age" quote from Poppy on this one.

They expect everyone to defer to them but Bill is slick enough to do just that and turn em around. They are the Anti-Christ.

How much would you pay to play cards with President Clinton? Me, every cent I have, provided he is drinking Kentucky Bourbon with me!

How exactly does that unholy trinity go?
Father-G.B. senior
Son-G.B. Jr.
Unholy Ghost-?

Jeb or maybe Jenna?

Barbara most likely, she old enough to remember when Jebus was walking the earth. But, Neil, George P...some other son of scum could always step up.

No. It's going to be John Ellis's half-wetback son George Prescott (or as I say, Jorrrrrge). George H.W., to George W., to George P., with the last making the hellion apparent, as he will prove to be the living, breathing chupacabrrrrras.

Read much?

how sad that this is even a story.

I bet Clinton slept nude under the blanket, just in case a stewardess WAS naive enough to stumble back there... "Need anything Mr President?" "Maybe you could come tuck me in (wink)?" God I love that man.

Stewardess....Dis Soff, you need ta make it hard.

Nice new name, Ky.

Edit: And, it made me realize the perfect 4th scene of my movie...This is coming together nicely.

<------Openly laughing cracking up in the office.


Or......."Stewardess, can you give me a hand with this, Doc says I shouldn't be doin in heavy liftin."

I would have called some hookers for Kerry if he won. As long as they keep the neocons and the Christian Right out of power, they get my respect and my hookers.

as a great man once said:

G's up hoes down
If dat bitch can't swim
She bound da drizzound

More likely it was Clinton saying "Age before beauty, old man."

Maybe, but allow me to remind everybody that it was Clinton who needed heart surgery. That old fucker is jumping out of planes!
