Sneed: Bush helps Clinton get home safely

September 14, 2001

BY MICHAEL SNEED SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

He's back!

Sneed is told former President Bill Clinton has returned from Australia by military jet and is now home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

"He was concerned about his daughter, Chelsea, because she had a lot of friends who worked at the World Trade Center, who may have been killed in the conflagration,'' said a top Clinton source.

Clinton, who was in Australia when the hijackers hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, had been trying to get out since Tuesday. But, because he is no longer president, he had been treated like John Q. Public and unable to get a flight back to the States.

"Word is President Bush intervened and arranged for a military flight for the former president,'' said a source.

Why didn't they just leave him in Australia?

First thing he did when he got back was to get his face on TV.

Yeah, we saw that hypocrite piece of human dirt on talking about people giving him pictures of their missing loved ones. Leave him in Australia? Naw, too good. send him to Afghanistan as a "goodwill ambassador".
