Documentary #3 - "41"

You know that I really don't enjoy talking about politics here, but as I was up late last night waiting for my sleeping pills to kick in, I watched this documentary about out 41st president - George Herbert Walker Bush. I was hesitant, but interested. I am a bleeding heart liberal and a dyed in the wool Democrat, but whatever policies that I disagreed with at the time he was in office, I have pretty much forgotten.

Now he just seems a likable curmudgeon. The truth is that what I always liked about him the most was/is his lovely wife! Barbara still rocks! Look at her taking care of him. Behind every successful man...

Anyway, the film was only a little revealing, but I think he was honest and came off sincerely. He seems like I nice guy...I'd have lunch with him. I might have to avoid talking to him about the other George, though!
