Lesson in Statesmanship

ArrivingNot much has made me feel as good as Bill Clinton bringing these two ladies home Tuesday. That man can be something of a boor, but when it comes time for statesmanship, nobody does it better. He took care to do this as an individual and with President Obama’s blessing, and he didn’t get involved until he was invited.

And he finished it with one final touch of elegance; what’s missing from that picture? Mr. Clinton had the great good grace to leave the homecoming moment to the families.
