NBC: Ex-Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton Bond Over Being Grandfathers

By F. Brinley Burton and Emily Gold, Jul. 10, 2015, NBC News

Call it post-presidential bonding.

Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton traded anecdotes on aging, politics and, of course, the joys of being a grandparent on Thursday night.

"When you become a grandfather you fall in love," Clinton said as he shared a stage with Bush at the graduation of the inaugural class of the Presidential Leadership Scholars program in Dallas.

The two men, who have reportedly become close friends since leaving office, indulged in some gentle ribbing.

"Clinton and I are getting a little long in the tooth these days," Bush said, to which the 68-year-old Clinton shot back: "This is the one month of the year when he's older than me — so speak for yourself." Bush turned 69 on July 6.
