How Dumb Can You Get?

For a guy considered to be "the most talented politician of his generation," he sure sticks his foot in his mouth a lot. Why would Bill Clinton think in any way that George H.W. Bush would go on a tour telling the world that his own son was a bastard but everything'll be OK now with Hillary Clinton in the White House? The tsunami tour was a nonpartisan event, it's a wholly different animal than a "the long global nightmare is over" tour. Of course Bush 41 declined. Why on Earth wouldn't he?

In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday afternoon, former President Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said that he “wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.

It's unbelievable that the broadly popular Bill Clinton is turning into a liability on the campaign trail.
