Ali, this is the last refuge of the incompetent. "It wasn't my fault, just bad luck". There were plenty of things that could have blown up in Clinton's face. From the S&L crisis to the various times he committed troops. But, because Clinton tended to appoint people with real expertise instead of just good connections, none of them really amounted to much. Yes...AG a lifelong republican says Clinton was the smartest president he ever worked with, and tench comes back with "Clinton never did anything anyway". Talk about an ostrich...can you imagine what AG really thinks about W? I can hear his thoughts now..."this guys must be the dumbest sonofabitch ever to reach the office"...which makes those who voted for him twice stupid beyond refuge. Al

Some Friend, W's Mexican Amigo September 16, 2007 12:06 PM ET \| Bedard, Paul \| Permanent Link At the White House, the president has got to be muttering "some friend" when he pores over the new autobio from his old buddy Vicente Fox, Mexico's former leader. That's because Fox raps his border pal as stubborn and "the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life." Revolution of Hope, out next month, is a well-written, well-researched book about Fox's political career and presidency, which coincided with George W. Bush's. While he expresses a kinship with W, he breaks with the prez on the war and slams the GOP's immigration platform. He blames Bush's stubbornness on Iraq for bad international relations, calls his Spanish "grade-school level," and admits he didn't think Bush would ever become president. "I can't honestly say that I had ever seen George W. Bush getting to the White House," he pens.
