Bill Clinton seriously claimed that President Hillary Clinton would, upon entering office, send him and George H.W. Bush out around the world to restore America’s image. George H.W. Bush countered, not so much. Raspberries to the ex-President for claiming that his predecessor had all-but-endorsed Mrs. Clinton and subsequently thrown his son under the bus.

Make no mistake: George H.W. Bush is with Brent Scowcroft and does not approve of the job his son is doing, but for Bill to take that to an extreme so as to try and fool one or two people with a headline is wrong. And people wonder why Bill didn’t accomplish any of the original things he set out to accomplish as President!

Since we’re talking about the past trying to consolidate power today and into the future, let’s talk about the FCC. They’ve re-emerged in the national picture and this time, they’re scarier than before. They’ve overturned a thirty year old rule preventing newspaper men from being owned by broadcasters.

Great news! If you’re owned by a Republican.
