Clinton Out-Quipped By a Bush



Okay. Even Senior Bush will admit it: His first and only term as President was a mere third term for President Reagan. Reagan was a political juggernaut; a man with virtually endless celebrity appeal, but who also actually seemed poised to do great things, such as tearing down a wall in Germany or ending a hostile political regime the U.S. had been quarreling with for decades.

Anyway, history has remembered Reagan and Bush as such.

But this latest act from G.H.W. Bush is pretty hilarious, especially granted the submissive context with which Bill Clinton — the man who dethroned Bush 1992 — places the scenario.

I can let the video speak for itself, save Wolf Blitzer's terrifying visage. But I found it remarkably entertaining.

There are certain things you can't say, Bill. Some people do have it and others don't, I just never thought you'd be the one to admittedly not have it.

Put this one in the record books. It may very well be the last time a Bush gets a good zinger in (with a Democratic concession) in...well, a very, very long time.

Or at least until G.W.H. Bush jumps out of a plane on his birthday, as per the family tradition.
