Kerry Flies the Flag
That's no solace to Big Labor. Plus: Did Bush have to kiss Clinton?
(Page 2 of 2)

Republicans on Capitol Hill were holding their noses over the
gushing remarks President Bush gave his predecessor and his staff
at the unveiling of President Clinton’s official portrait.
/p>
“He could have been polite, without giving the guy a big wet one,” says one House Republican leadership staffer. “It was sickening to watch and listen.”
p>But in the end, says a White House staffer, what Bush did was project a warm, friendly, demeanor. “He did what any gentleman would do. Anyone who complains about this thing with Clinton obviously doesn’t know this president,” says the White House staffer. “This was Bush in spades. Had he done anything different, you would have had him raked over the coals for being rude and aloof and petty. Kerry can keep that tag for himself.” br> /p>
