Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush cancel local joint appearance

[question everything]

Source: LA Times

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush today abruptly pulled out of a joint appearance scheduled for this winter in Los Angeles after growing unhappy with the way the event was being promoted.

The two canceled a similar appearance in New York City this week.

"We canceled the event because of a violation of contract and a promoter who insisted on billing it as something it wasn't," said Matt McKenna, a spokesman for Clinton. David Sherzer, a spokesman for Bush, also confirmed the event was off.

McKenna said the forum was never intended to be a clash between the 42nd and 43rd presidents -- "the hottest ticket in political history," a news released called it -- but rather a moderated panel discussion.

2. Clinton is all buddy buddy with the Bush family

and he probably didn't want to embarrass Baby Bush in a debate.

[harkadog]

4. He has already done one with Bush in Toronto.

14. He didn't touch Bush I's papers either.

He let W shred the evidence of Bush I meeting with Iranian terrorists to hold the hostages longer so Carter would lose the reelection.

Then as sweet reward they impeach Clinton's ass anyhow!

15. So let me get this straight - cause good laughs are something to

enjoy....

GHW Bush did the deal with the Iranians to force Carter to lose, and then they kept a record of it around the White House all through the Reagan and Bush 41 years, leaving them intact until Bill Clinton was president. And moved by the warmth of the Bush family, Bill let George shred the records.

ROTFLMAO
(and Bullshit)

OK, convince us with evidence.

- who created the record in the first place?
- just how did they become a presidential record if it happened during the Carter presidency?
- where were they during the Reagan years?
--and why weren't they shredded then?
- where were they during the Bush 41 years and why weren't they shredded?
- how did Bill find out about the records?
--just why did Bill let them get shredded?
---and what year was that?
----and who exactly did the shredding?

And your impeccable source for all this is who?

I'll have what you're drinking, it obviously has better hallucinogenic powers than anything here.

18. Thank you. This is the first time that I hear of this

not that I am familiar with every little details but it does stretch the credibility.

3. that was like

The Road Runner ( Bill ) and Wild e coyote (Dubya). You think he send off for some acme intellect.

Everybody knows Dubya's a coke man.

7. K&R #2 for, and don't commit to more, Bill !1 n/t

8. Or did they cancel for weak demand?

I wouldn't cross the street to see those two, let alone pay for a ticket.

[pattmarty]

12. I agree. And it is looking more and more we're on our way..................

...............to another "Bill Clinton".

9. There's a full page ad in tomorrow's NYT Arts and Leisure section

(that is delivered to subscribers on Saturday). They must have canceled too late to cancel the ad.

[Caretha]

11. Good

I'm glad both venues are cancelled. It looked like a bunch of hokie to me.

[Blandocyte]

13. Sorry, but "Clinton" and "joint appearance" cause me to go Butthead

Uhhh... huh huh huh.

[FreeJG]

16. Whitewater was not what they were afraid of...it was MENA!

Arkansas.

see Daniel Hopsicker's "Barry and the Boys".

They work together, have for many years.

[blm]

17. Whitewater was the cover used to go into Rose Law Firm and scrub files clean for Jackson Stephens

their largest client and GHWBush's longtime pal. Stephens just happened to be the Bush crony who BROUGHT a bank called BCCI into this country.

Do people really think Bush's pals spent two years looking into a silly, two-bit land deal?

Clinton could have stopped Whitewater any time he wanted - he knew exactly why they were poring through all the Rose Law Firm files.

19. That's like a panel between Einstein and Forrest Gump

:rofl:
