When President Bush's press conference came on this morning, we were frankly a little grateful for the interruption during the fourth hour of the Today show. The vague chipper bitterness of those last few cooking segments has really begun to wear on us. Our favorite moment of the press conference was when a reporter asked Bush about Bill Clinton's Monday statement that the first thing Hillary would do as president would be to send Clinton and the former President Bush ("41") around the world "to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again." So, what did the current President Bush think of that?

"41 didn't think it was necessary," he laughed coldly. "Sounds like it would be a one-man trip."

Wait, it's like we're back watching Today again! Everybody's smiling, but why is the air crackling with bitterness? We suspect we know: Ever since the uncomfortable lovefest between Bush 41 and Bill Clinton began, Bush the younger has been totally jealous. And then Bill tried to steal the president's dad for his own team! Such melodrama. We can't wait until Showtime makes this into a historical mini-series.
