And you thought 41 and 42 were strange bedfellows.

I've gotta read the chapter where this happens (quote taken from the NY Times review):

Quote:
 
In addition Mr. Heilemann, who works for New York magazine, and Mr. Halperin, for Time magazine, write that Mrs. Clinton, encouraged by her husband and aides, considered running for president in 2004 but ended up listening to her daughter, Chelsea, who argued that she needed to finish her Senate term. They write that Mr. Clinton and George W. Bush “spoke more often than almost anyone knew” — that “from time to time, when 43 was bored, he would call 42 to chew the fat.


:phone: :blah:

Here's the rest of the review:

Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

HOLY CARP!!!
I think it was Halperin who wrote that when they first met, Bill Clinton bonded more with Dubya in 5 minutes than he did with Gore in 8 years.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

I can believe that, too.
