This realization really hit home for me in McCain's funeral, when all of the press was framing George W. Bush as the sweet old man who snuck candy to Mike Obama.
I wasn't up to speed with the political rehabilitation of Bush, and it felt crazy seeing leftists fawn over him as the sweet old moderate republican.
wasn't up to speed with the political rehabilitation of Bush
There wasn't one, that's what made it so much more pathetic and obvious.
After he left office he basically went quiet, the only major news about him was that he was doing paintings of vets or something, until he reappeared years later as "kindly old grandpa" with no development in the middle.
Yep. Bush was the first president I was old enough to vote for. I remember hearing how evil he was in the media. Media loves dead republicans or ones who criticize the current president. When his dad died the same media that attacked him endlessly fawned all over him
