Re: GW Bush, it’s funny my first real exposure to him was on the Simpsons episode where Barbara and H.W move into Springfield. Homer and Bart trick H.W by having cardboard cutouts of Jeb and G.W and stick a rainbow wig on his head which is superglued on. What’s funny about the episode is H.W who I like somewhat now comes across as a jerk (hey he was friends with Flanders who is a stupid jerk) and Barbara came across like Mrs. Wilson on Dennis the Menace which I know was the joke. The funny thing about that episode is it helped build my longtime positive impression of Jerry Ford which has only grown since I learned more about him. I was really amazed to read that President and Mrs. Ford proudly declared themselves supporters of gay rights. Loved seeing that from a couple that was the same age of my Dad’s parents. I think he’s probably hte last Republican on a national level for president I would have voted for. I am not a big Carter fan honestly. Though I admit a lot of this is from the perspective of being born in 87.
