I saw the press conference where the president introduced the two ex-presidents live on TV. When Clinton started talking, it was hard not to hear the many comics who have imitated him, so I felt a combination of nostalgia and mild annoyance hearing his raspy voice again.
But what really surprised me was how terribly annoying it was to hear Dubya speak in public again.
This is horribly bad strategy. Half of Americans think Clinton is a slick shyster and the other half think Bush is disaster incarnate. Putting two guys that the public distrusts intensely seems like a bad way to raise funds for a place with a history of corruption and yes, disaster.
How sad for the very real and terrible tragedy that the president picked the two least trustworthy Americans as his pitchmen for this catastrophe. I hope the battered people of Haiti will survive this lasted insult to their injuries.

would not give them a red cent or even the new crappy pennies either! Government ex-shills should working to raise money for real non-profits, not the blackhole called the federal government or worst the UN.
