Clinton speaks out about Tsunami aid.
As usual, Clinton shows he's got "the goods" unlike that drunken Chimp. Come back, Bill!! We love you!

LONDON (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton (news - web sites) urged a coordinated effort to provide relief to the countries stricken by the tidal wave that killed tens of thousands across South Asia.

It is really important that somebody take the lead in this," he told BBC Radio 4's Today program.


"I think one of the problems is when everybody takes responsibility it's almost like no one's responsibility."


Clinton said individual countries should target aid at specific areas.

2. Remember, he's recovering from surgery.
My dad looked like hell for almost a year after his brain surgery... I imagine it's the same for heart surgery.

6. Why does Clinton have to go to the BBC to say this?
No need to answer.

9. No doubt our MSM would have thrown in a couple...
"Bill, how can you claim to be a moral leader after what happened during your Presidency?"

"Bill, how does this relate to claims that blah blah blah"

8. Leave it to people like Clinton or Carter to be a voice of compassion
remember the good ol days when Presidents could think and walk at the same time? Not to mention the ability to talk and make sense at the same time.

Four years outta office and he's still acting Presidential. And Bush has the balls to try and discredit Clinton over this... Bush can't even compare.

17. It just makes me crazy
We went from Bill Clinton a real uniter to W the ultimate divider. You all know if Bill Hadn't been president for the 8 years prior to 9/11/01 we'd have never recieved the sympathy we did. If a 9/11 size event happened now in the US, we'd get much less sympathy.
