The tears of 41

aw, george h.w. is just a big softie...

During an extensive interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday (11-4-07), former President George Herbert Walker Bush teared up while recalling how nobly the American soldiers behaved towards prisoners in the 1991 Gulf War.

and who can ever forget THIS poignant moment last december...?

Former President George H.W. Bush broke down in tears as he cited his son, Gov. Jeb Bush, as an example of leadership.

Bush was addressing lawmakers, his son's top administrators, and state workers gathered in the House chamber Monday for the last of the governor's leadership forums.
