"First President Bush SOBS as he talks about Jeb's leadership"

I'm still looking for video of this disgusting display. You'd think Poppy could shed a few tears for the people his monkey son has caused to die.


As he struggled to stop crying, he joked that his wife, Barbara, "will bawl me out for breaking up." Jeb Bush then came to his father's side, receiving a light admonishment from his father. "I can do this," he said, then added as his son threw an arm around him, "I love this guy."

=====
Former President George H.W. Bush came here Monday to talk about leadership and opened his remarks with advice on working with rivals, being patient and building personal relationships.

He then broke down in tears mentioning his son, Gov. Jeb Bush, as an example of leadership and the way he handled losing the 1994 governor's race to popular incumbent Democrat Lawton Chiles. He vaguely referred to dirty tricks in the campaign.

"He didn't whine about it. He didn't complain," the former president said before choking up in front of lawmakers, Gov. Bush's top administrators and state workers gathered in the House chamber for the last of the governor's leadership forums.

As he tried to continue, he let out a sob and put a handkerchief to his face. When he spoke again, his words were broken up by pauses as he tried to regain composure.
