Bush Sr.

• September 7 -- Reviving
an Anti-Bush Sr. Urban Legend
Kate Zernike revives an anti-Bush Sr. urban legend, the myth that during the
1992 campaign, George H.W. Bush marveled at a grocery-store scanner as if he'd
never seen one before.
• August 31 -- GHWB
vs. NYT
Bush Sr. on the NYT: "It's consistently liberal, consistently
opposes the president on almost everything editorial….I've given up on
them."
• July 27 -- "Social
Conservatives" vs. "Inclusion"
David Halbfinger knows what went wrong for the Republicans in 1992.

• December
16 -- After Saddam's Capture: Beating Around
the Bushes
Todd Purdum personalizes the capture of Saddam Hussein as the Bush family
settling scores with an ancient enemy (Dana Carvey is cited). Spying a potential
wedge between the Bushes, Purdum takes up Bush Sr.'s side: "There were
ample reasons for the first President Bush not to go after Mr. Hussein."
