The FOX sports guys just asked former presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton for their Super Bowl predictions.

Bush 41 gives a succinct answer: Patriots by 14.

Clinton hesitates, brags that both teams’ hometowns “voted for me twice,” then rambles on about the Eagles’ defense without giving a spread. Or anything else definitive.

Typical Clinton. Can’t even give a straightforward answer about a football game.

Update: AP notices the same thing.

Bush, whose Maine vacation home is squarely in Patriots territory, didn’t hesitate. He predicted New England would win by two touchdowns.

“It’s hard for me because both of these towns voted for me twice,” Clinton said, referring to Philadelphia and Boston. He said the Eagles’ improving defense would be key to the game.

Ultimately, though, Clinton didn’t pick a winner.

Thank goodness they didn’t put him in charge of calling the coin toss…
