Former President Bush in good spirits at Waco club to kick off Patriot Golf Day Weekend
By Michael W. Shapiro Tribune-Herald staff writer


Saturday September 4, 2010

snip...
According to the foundation, thousands of golf courses across the country are asking golfers to add $1 or more to their normal greens fees for the program.

“Thank you for allowing me to associate myself with such a worthy cause,” Bush said during a brief statement to reporters before he teed off. “First, I like to play golf. And secondly, I admire our vets and their families and this is a way for citizens to contribute to a scholarship fund for children who have lost a parent in combat or whose parent is severely wounded.

“People all across America can play golf this weekend and support the children of our vets and that’s a noble and worthy cause.”

snip...
Bush did not take questions from local TV news crews cordoned off behind the first hole, but he brought “FOX and Friends” anchor Brian Kilmeade along to start the round.
Bush was in a jocular mood during the event, ribbing Kilmeade for an errant drive and winking at the bank of TV cameras.

6. His 'jocularity' belies the obvious fact that he's ageing rapidly
Edited on Sun Sep-05-10 11:45 AM by lunatica
I think he's not a happy man. He's a man who has probably been abandoned by the GOP. Just like his father was when he lost to Clinton. I think his phone doesn't ring much, except for calls from his mother.

He simply can't get on the national stage anymore. It doesn't matter whether he's 'helping' Haiti with Clinton, or being a 'motivational speaker' or walking his dog and picking up dog shit.

I see a man who is getting very old very fast. And I don't think drinking is totally to blame. He's been abandoned by everyone except his political enemies like Clinton and Obama. It must feel like a pity fuck.
