Merged George H.W. Bush dead at 94

Stay classy, USA Politics posters. It's late in the US so here's hoping that most of you are drunk right now.
 
I disagreed with almost all the policies of HW Bush and his son, but he was a human being who has died and as my old mum used to say you don't speak ill of the dead. So lets leave it to historians in the future to decide on the good or the bad of his life and presidency and for now show respect to a family who have lost a loved one.
 
I wonder what El Presidente will do to attract attention back to himself?

Your mom was wrong. Historians today can decide on the good and bad of his life.

ETA: heck, I'm excited to dance on Trump's grave.

A helping Nixon attempt to obstruct justice gentleman.

This didn’t ever stick to George HW Bush... maybe because these audio tapes have just been collecting dust for the last four decades. But George Bush was brought in to a potentially criminal effort organized and directed by the then-President of the United States Richard Nixon to obstruct an ongoing investigation into his Vice President.

And George Bush did it.

U.S. Attorney George Beall ended up donating his papers to Frostburg State University in Maryland. And if you go to those archives, you can now see an official “memo-to-file” that U.S. Attorney George Beall wrote that Summer of 1973. In that memo to file, it is made quite clear that after the White House came up with this plan, George H.W. Bush did, in fact, contact U.S. Senator Glenn Beall and he tried to have Senator Glenn Beall get word to his little brother the U.S. Attorney about this investigation.

This is what he wrote in the file: “With respect to conversations with my brother Glenn, the discussions were most superficial and very guarded. He occasionally mentioned to me the names of persons who had been to see him or who had called him with respect to [this] investigation. Names of persons that I remember him telling me about included Vice President Agnew ... and George Bush.”

Now, there are a few amazing things here.

First, of course, is that a future U.S. President participated in what was likely a criminal scheme to obstruct justice.

The last Republican president to be a gentleman. Not as in "most recent", but actually last, I fear.

May the heavens forgive me but... Bush II impressed me as ignorant, in over his head, fact-challenged, and as a person who made one of the biggest mistakes in modern history, one that will echo across time. At the same time he impressed me as a "gentleman" and a decent human being.
