The Onion, 19 November 2003:
Kenyan President Emilio Mwai Kibaki said Monday that his country continues to enjoy excellent diplomatic relations with former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
"I have always enjoyed working with Mr. Clinton, and the recent international Agricultural Development Conference was no exception," Kibaki said. "And I know that [Democratic Republic of the Congo President] Joseph Kabila enjoyed meeting with him to secure an American commitment for humanitarian aid, as well." Kibaki said that none of the leaders have anything in particular against President Bush, but added that all the same, they'd rather stick with Clinton.
The BBC, 4 August 2009:
Former US President Bill Clinton has met North Korean leader Kim Jong-il during an unannounced visit to the country, state media have reported.
Mr Clinton is in Pyongyang to discuss the fate of jailed US journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee. He is the highest-profile American to visit since his secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, in 2000. US media are reporting that Mr Clinton has met the journalists and hopes are high for their release. Analysts say Mr Clinton may also be trying to ease the deadlock over the North's nuclear ambitions.

The Left's version of Kissinger but minus the mayhem.
Your standards are slipping, Mr W: a reference to US Presidents and Kenya without a Birther gag in there...?
JB, good point, but the Onion spoof was written six years ago.
When those two young journos first saw Bill Clinton they said their first thought was relief that the nightmare was nearly over. That relief was soon short-lived whem Bill started handing out cigars.
