Bush for the win.

What happened in 1924 besides 2 U.S. presidents being born who aren't Hillary Clinton?

Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.

That didn't quite work out in GHW's case.

Have to disagree about On This Day.

It's only boring if you don't know the context and what's coming around the bend.

The Bushes are a cancer.

We didn't realize it at the time.

Wicked Witch of the east socks.

The socks don't appear to match. Which I find more unsettling than the childishness of the red stripes, as they associate in my mind with Raggedy Ann and Andy socks.

Odd socks, for sure. He needs to hire someone else to dress him.

Under the guise of humor and playfulness, I'm wondering if the socks are a passive aggressive way to convey FU with regard to the "rules" he's had to live under? It goes along with the fanny grabbing and lame cover joke.

He's so old, that I can't read his lips anymore.

I'm feeling more charitable today. Maybe the socks are a playful visual deflection, to take the focus off the rest of him and fend off a "My goodness, he looks old!" response.
