WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush and Bill Clinton are unlikely partners, given their political differences. But their membership in the oh-so-exclusive club of American presidents has forged an increasingly warm bond and melted away some of the old bitterness.
When he needed someone to head up a tsunami-relief effort, it was natural for Bush to reach out to his father, the first President Bush.
Inviting Clinton on board came despite years of political rancor by the Bush family toward the Arkansas Democrat. After all, Clinton had ousted the elder Bush from office in 1992 and campaigned for Democratic nominee John Kerry just last year.
The two former presidents and old rivals now are appearing together in a public service television advertisement to raise funds for the tsunami victims. Earlier, they did several joint TV interviews.
