A clear signal from the first
President Bush. The most fascinating column you'll read all
weekend is this
one in the Boston
Globe, by veteran journalist Georgie Anne Geyer, on George W.
Bush's break with his father on one issue after another.
Bush Sr. will soon present his
Award for Excellence in Public Service to Ted Kennedy in a ceremony
at -- get this -- Texas A&M, right in George W.'s
backyard.
Kennedy, of course, has had
a
few things to say about the
younger Bush's foreign policy in recent days. Yet Bush Sr. doesn't
seem to be the least bit offended.
Writes Geyer:
Now it's all out. Father
Bush has done it in his own preferred nuanced way -- the way
Establishment gentlemen operate -- but he has revealed the depth
of his disagreement with his impetuously uninformed son.
It's going to be hard for Karl Rove
and company to dismiss this as the ravings of the anti-Bush left.
Could make family get-togethers at Kennebunkport mighty
uncomfortable.
