Throw Billy from the plane

It appears that Billy’s "It’s all about me"attitute got him thrown off Air Force One for the return trim home from the Pope’s funeral.   If you recall, Clinton commented on the Pope’s "mixed legacy" on the way to the funeral.  He could not keep his mouth shut and keep the world focused on the pope for one week.  He just needed to attempt to refocus the world on him.  Can you say "narcissism"

Well at least Bush has grace.  See complete story below.

Bush Calls Pope’s Funeral a Highlight of Presidency, Disagrees With Clinton Over Pontiff’s Legacy

By TOM RAUM Associated Press Writer The Associated Press ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE Apr 8, 2005 — President Bush on Friday said that attending the funeral of Pope John Paul II was "one of the highlights of my presidency" and made clear that he disagrees with former President Clinton’s assessment that the pontiff leaves a mixed legacy.

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.

    Your story (about throwing him off the plane) is wrong…

    Besides, your accusations are misleading and untrue. But Clinton speaks the truth — the pope was very conservative, and during his papacy the number of Catholics did increase dramatically, while the number of priests did not. All of that is the truth. And that is exactly what the church today has to confront. So what is wrong with speaking the truth? In addition, Clinton said the popes’ legacy is a “mixed one”, “like most of us” he said. You call it narcissism. How is that narcissism?
