Did anyone happen to catch 'Biography of the year: 2005' on A&E
last night? They were all atwitter about the Clinton/Poppy pairing to raise funds for first Tsunami victims, then Katrina victims.
Anyhoo, they showed some file footage that I'd NEVER seen before...Big Dawg, Poppy, and Junior all standing together on some sort of bleachers; and Poppy SHOVES Bill Clinton.
I was shocked! Poppy explained that Clinton had made a joke about how Junior wasn't going to enjoy his (Clinton's) book very much, so he SHOVED him.
Of course, he said, it (the shove) was all blown out of proportion by the Media...I had never even SEEN this before!
An old man shoving someone who dared make fun of his sock-puppet son...it was so typically BUSHONIAN behavior; but I remain flabbergasted this morning. Clinton had just undergone heart surgery!
So...what I'm wondering here is how I missed this gem when it happened...
Does anyone remember this story?

1. And here they're supposed to be the adults
:eyes: And remember when little Georgie pushed Clinton out of the way so he could get through first? Ugh! I don't remember that one. :shrug: I'll have to try to catch that special. Do you know when it's reairing??

4. Probably all throughout the New Year's weekend; it was sort of like
a year-in-review type show. I believe it was on during the usual 'Biography' time slot.
And that is exactly what came to mind while I was watching it...Shrub trying to wedge himself through the door of CLINTON'S Library, so he could walk ahead. They behave like 3-year-olds!! Poppy shoving Clinton (even if it WAS in jest) just FLOORED me!

2. i remember it--Clinton was a good sport about it
but it annoyed me for a moment--then it blew over.

Abusing Clinton is good for the country, didn't you know?

3. I'd been thinking that Poppy wasn't so bad after all
After all, he'd at least earned the presidency. And he obviously let Brent Scowcroft and others publicly criticize the war--they wouldn't have done it without his okay.

But ew, shoving somebody? I mean, everybody has a bad day, but it's pretty yucky for a grown man to behave that way.

7. Oh god, I was so busy shouting at the teevee, I didn't NOTICE!!
Although I suspect it may have been Clinton/Poppy...
