Not the worst prez ever and far from the best. George H.W. Bush was a middling mediocrity who looks better in retrospective when compared to Dubya and the current occupier of the Oval Office.
That said, Bush did inflict Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court and as the anti-Thurgood Marshall, I cannot forgive #43 for that one.
It was nice of Presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama to join George, Jeb and the rest of the Bush family at his memorial service today. Oh, and #45 showed up because #43 was determined not to freeze him out from his funeral. Nice of George H.W. to be the bigger and far more gracious man than I would ever be.
Which is not to say there were
zero awkward moments of stunningly obvious bad mojo floating around the proceedings like a particularly stank
air biscuit.
