George W. Bush: Hillary Clinton is like ‘my sister-in-law’
12/5/2014

Former President Bush has spoken at length about his close ties to former President Bill Clinton, at times calling him his "brother from another mother."

CNN's Candy Crowley asked Bush during an interview published Friday where that leaves Hillary Clinton: "My sister-in-law!" the president responded light-heartedly.

When asked about a potential Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign, the former president conceded they would both be formidable candidates but insisted his brother — his real brother — would win.

"I think he'd beat her," he told Crowley. "Absolutely."

The Texas Republican has publicly prodded his brother Jeb Bush, who is the former governor of Florida, to enter the 2016 presidential contest. Brother Jeb says he is thinking over the possibility but is hesitant to enter the race because of the personal toll a rigorous campaign could take on his family.

No more Bush, no more Clinton!

But they can still hang out together(would love to be a fly on the wall there!)~

2. I think he would too, unfortunately for Democrats...n/t

[nichomachus]

4. If the GOP cranks up the election-theft machine

Jeb has so many skeletons in his closet he couldn't withstand any scrutiny. The guy makes George W look like an altar boy. A crook among crooks.

[RiverLover]

5. Yep nt

[roguevalley]

29. I will never vote for her. Ever. period. Sue me.

[0rganism]

8. agreed, but i doubt he'll make it through their primary

i think he'll be a big turn-off to the base

[tularetom]

6. I bet they all get together and chortle about the black guy

Something about this whole Clinton/Bush love fest sort of makes me want to

[LawDeeDah]

16. It sure does induce puking.

They've been buds for a long time now. I wonder what kinds of 'fun' they had together that we don't know of.

[polichick]

7. They're all in the same club, that's for sure.

9. I can't get this image out of my mind.

George Wallace and his third wife, the former Lisa Taylor, meet with Vice President George Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at a lobster bake at Bush's residence at Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983. The third Mrs. Wallace, whom the governor married in 1981, was 30 years his junior and half of a country-western singing duo, Mona and Lisa, who had performed during his campaign in 1968.

10. OMG I've never seen this. Burned in my brain now too. Thanks a whole lot! ;)

I didn't know they went back that far...literally making me nauseous...

[ChisolmTrailDem]

12. It's a...

...big club and you ain't in it!

[hifiguy]

19. This should be on a 24 hour loop on DU.

More truth has never been spoken in so short a time.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. I actually think the two presidents who were not in the club, Carter and Obama...

Are also the most slimed by the club.

[Segami]

11. LOL....

No matter how many times I see this pic Octafish, it still cracks me up.....breaking bread with the enemy.

[RiverLover]

13. Maybe enemy, maybe not. nt

[Segami]

17. Maybe not to the Clintons because they

have made it their business model strategy to cozy up and suck the enemy's ass in order to get ahead.


They are still breaking bread with the enemy IMO and will continue to do so should Hillary get into office.


Don't complain AFTER the elections when the Bushes get invited to have breakfast with the Clintons in the WH.

[appal_jack]

28. Exactly the pic that came to mind before I even opened this thread.

Thanks Octafish.

30. at least among that group wallace spent his life until he death trying to make up for what he did

he spent his life at the end trying to make amends. he had an epiphany

Wanna bet if the other two do?

[olddots]

15. jeeeez Bill is drinking a Diet Pepsi

Very scary picture but remember politcians are proffesionals like prostitutes

[hifiguy]

18. That is disgusting - and true - on more levels

than the English language has words to express.

[RiverLover]

20. more levels...yep...right there with ya.

[sabrina 1]

22. They are all so close, how sweet! The Bushes, the Clintons. Barbara Bush said Bill Clinton was like

a son to her.

And to think Bush supporters and Clinton supporters spent over a decade fighting with each other over them.

We were scammed, royally.

When Rupert Murdoch threw a party for Hillary, and Babs said he was like a son to her, I knew something was very wrong and I felt like a fool.


That won't ever happen again.

[CJCRANE]

25. I sometimes wonder if American politics is like WWE wrestling

where they trash talk and fight each other in public but behind the scenes they all know it's just for entertainment.

[bigwillq]

23. Yuck.

End the dynasty. Vote NO to Hillary and Jeb!

[Inkfreak]

24. Shocker. They leave the bickering & fighting to the people.

While they all grow fat leeching off America.

[Depaysement]

26. Oh good

It's All in the Family.

[Jamastiene]

27. The only reply I can think of for what he said:

The fact that the Clintons are so chummy with the Bushes sickens me too.

[RiverLover]

31. kick

[mylye2222]

32. At the same time the Hillary endorsers are

always ready to call John Kerry a "coward" or a " sold out" .
At least Bush didnt have any kind of those affectionate words to him.
