Welcome To The Bill And George Show

Joseph Curl reports:

The two former presidents, who led the United States for the past 16 years, met Friday at the Toronto Convention Center for an event dubbed a "conversation." Both looked rested and tan, and both had the crowd in stitches in their opening statements.

"Welcome to the Bill and George Show," Mr. Bush said, drawing more laughs in his opening than his predecessor.

"Clinton and I used to believe in free speech," Mr. Bush said to roars of laughter from a crowd of 6,000, all of whom paid hundreds of dollars to attend the event. "So thanks for coming!"

But he did say his life has changed -- dramatically. After leaving the White House, "I'm sitting in Crawford, Texas, I have my feet up on the couch, and I said, 'Free at last.' "

His wife, Laura, he said, responded: " 'Free to do the dishes, free to mow the lawn.' I said, 'Baby, you're talking to the former president of the United States,' and she said, 'Yeah, just consider it your new domestic policy agenda.' "
