COLLEGE STATION, Texas (Reuters) - Former Republican President George Bush on Friday gave an award named after himself to Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy, a longtime political opponent who has accused his son, President Bush, of lying about Iraq.

Bush presented Kennedy with the George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service during a banquet at Texas A&M University, in an exchange between two political opponents and elders of the nation's most influential political families.

The liberal Kennedy is among the most vociferous critics of the Bush administration's handling of the war in Iraq, and has accused them of lying about the presence of weapons of mass destruction.

The purpose of the award, Bush said, is to recognize public service, putting politics aside.

Maybe x-rayed. Dog sniffed. Carried through airport security.

leaking out. It's just part of the packing...

Protect yourself Sen Kennedy....

Papa gives Georgie boy a public spanking.

it's been public knowledge since last year that daddy didn't at all like the idea of invading Iraq. Many of daddy's former honchos, including Schwartzkopf (spelling?) and Brent Scrokroft (spelling again?) came out publicly against the war. When Scrokroft came out it was reported that he was speaking for the 'ol man.

Now this.

...and Poppy is about to apply the belt.

After all, there has to be some major reason that caused Poppy to resign from the Carlysle Group.

now would you please keep your big trap shut about the war.

That would send a strong message that we are serious about the damage
that the rethugs are doing to our country. No more compromise until the
destruction of our America is stopped!

The nearest major airport is Houston, which is the GHW Bush Airport.

:tinfoilhat:

hearing much about it from the 'thugs. they just want it to go away, be forgotten, but it's kinda delightful. shows us a lot of things. reminds us that there used to be a time when the right wing wasn't filled with hate.

But I know how ya feel, I'd like to sez yummy yummy too!

Beware of geeks baring false gifts.

'Former President Bush...' I hope to see it again this time next year. :)

"Kennedy, for the night at least, put aside his criticism of the current president.

`I have great respect for both President Bushes. It's been a great privilege to work with both presidents,' he said."
