George H.W. Bush "enjoys the most universal affection of the group (ex-POTUS')??

OK, what's up with all this? Why are we having this guy thrown in our faces more often? Are they hoping to drown out his real legacy with all these puff pieces/get togethers?

“He and my mother, by the example they’ve set in their own lives of serving others and through their lifelong commitment to promoting service, have left a great legacy of service,” Neil Bush said.

George P. Bush said his generation, the “9-11 generation,” is relatively apathetic about politics, though volunteerism has skyrocketed. “To see an event like this, where people put aside party and differences for one night … is inspiring in itself,” he said.

Bush41 is pretty much forgotten elsewhere. With good reason.

Maybe they are trying to clean up the family image to get Jeb ready to run in 2012?

God help us.

He fucking ditched the goddam plane, killing his crewmembers.

Fucking revisionists.

An American ideal, of a type.

:grr:

Consisting of the War Criminal and Pardoner of War Criminals, his son, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The only reason Carter doesn't enjoy the "most" universal affection of that group is because of the petty jealousy of the War Criminal and Pardoner of War Criminals and his son.

Did I mention that George H.W. Bush is a war criminal and a pardoner of war criminals?

Dems tend to not be as hateful.
