-Caveat Lector- Hmm....I thought Bush and Clinton already were acquainted. Is my memory faulty, or weren't there some postings on this list some time back regarding Bush involvement in Clinton's Mena drug running operation? http://www.drudgereport.com/mattb.htm XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON JAN 22, 2001 18:31:08 ET XXXXX PERSONAL BOND DEVELOPS: BUSH, CLINTON HIT IT OFF President Bush and President Clinton hit it off during one-on-one meetings in Washington. When Bush made his first post-election visit to Clinton "they just clicked", TIME magazine reports. During a December meeting, Clinton "developed nearly as much affinity for Bush in two hours as he had for Al Gore in eight years. Clinton later told friends, 'Bush really connects. It's a mistake to underestimate him.' " And after seeing Clinton in May at St. Patrick's Cathedral for John Cardinal O'Connor's funeral -- Clinton reaching across four mourners to grasp Bush's hand during the Sign of Peace -- Bush said, 'I don't always respect the guy, but you gotta like him.'" "There is certainly no anger between the two," a well-placed Bush source told the DRUDGE REPORT. "President Bush asked Mr. Clinton if he could call him from time to time." On his second-to-last night in the White House, Clinton was worried about how Bush would react to the timing of independent counsel Robert Ray's announcement of a Lewinsky settlement." Clinton turned to TV producer/director Harry Thomason to back- channel an apology through movie producer and Bush friend Jerry Weintraub. Clinton reportedly apologized in person to Bush on Inauguration Day. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereport.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2001 Not for reproduction without permission of the author -- My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. --Albert Einstein <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
