Well, not quite, but, as noted
here,
"As his final American revival meeting continued Saturday, a fragile Billy Graham was met onstage by former President Clinton, who honored the evangelist, calling him ''a man I love.''
Clinton spoke briefly before Graham's sermon and recalled how the man known as America's pastor had refused to preach before a segregated audience in Arkansas decades ago when that state was in a bitter fight over school desegregation.
''I was just a little boy and I'll never forget it,'' said Clinton, who was joined by his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. ''I've loved him ever since. God bless you, friend.''
Graham called the Clintons ''wonderful friends'' and ''a great couple,'' quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow ''his wife to run the country.''

...Despite his many ailments, he spoke strongly for about 15 minutes, in an address meant to appeal to young people. He peppered his speech with pop-culture references from Madonna to Bono to MTV. He wove a parable about bad decision-making from the plot of ''Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith,'' in which Anakin Skywalker becomes the villain Darth Vader.
''The decisions you make tonight will effect your whole future and your eternal future,'' he said, before inviting people forward to accept Christ.
...Marie St. Louis, 34, who came to the event hours early Saturday with friends and family from her New York church, called the rally ''bittersweet'' because it was Graham's last in the United States.
''It's sad because he's such a legend,'' St. Louis said. ''When you think of Billy Graham, you think of a lot of things a Christian should be.''
So maybe the Hillary thing was just a quip, but can you imagine Dobson doing it? Graham is like Saint Paul and Che Guevara combined, compared to Dobfristwellbertson and their defiled Pharisee ilk.
...By the way, Rimjob diaried this earlier, complete with photos, in "President Clinton Honors Billy Graham" at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/26/04931/4877 , but that was late last night and I thought the story was important enough (especially with my pointed title, emphasis on Hill not Bill) to diary again on this wonderful Sunday.
(Also feel free to check my previous Billy Graham diary, "Billy Graham reflects on gays, mistakes, MLK", at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/15/212245/922 .)
Last but not least: did you know Graham recently told Katie Couric he was a lifetime Democrat ! ?? !!!!!
God bless you all on this "Christian sabbath". (No disrepect to other Sabbaths or religions; I wish a Muslim would start posting stuff regularly here just as certain Christians and Jews do.) Go Billy ! (Maybe Graham likes Clinton because he is a fellow Bill.) Go Hilly !
