Bush the Elder dies at 94
2018-12-01
[NBCdfw] George Herbert Walker Bush, who as the 41st president guided the United States out of the Cold War and led an international coalition into the Gulf War, has died. He was 94.

In a statement from former President George W. Bush reads: "Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died. George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens."

#11  Here's hoping the Bush family has enough class to keep the funeral from being politicized the way McCain's was.

#3  I doubt the Bush Family will think that. We all knew this was coming when Barbara died, though I'll admit it took longer than I thought.

Beyond that, I don't think I have the necessary knowledge to really comment deeply about his passing. Sometimes you just stand by the side, with head bowed.

#2  On a here and now note, the Boosh fambly will be ungracious, say it's all Trump's fault. Jeb will say "Poppy just gave up all hope after the 2016 election..."

Meggie Moo McShame will fatangry that her vile bile was upstaged.

#1  Nothing but respect for the man. The policies will be debated with varying degrees of heat. Ever was it thus.
