Bush said in his audio diary before his 1988 presidential campaign that Americans "didn't want same-sex marriage codified," according to The New York Times.

He’s always felt that way, it’s just now he’s too old to care anymore about what people think....same thing happened to Goldwater in his latter years.

GHWB is a good reminder not to get too sentimental about the Greatest Generation. They had their share of flakes, too.

Typical liberal Republican. He was against it until he saw two gay men get married, then that somehow softened his heart and turned him into an advocate. Same BS when it comes to other policies — he sees a child suffering so, of course, we should ratchet up social spending by double digits. And they get on their high horse and pervert it into the “compassionate” position.

“Mellow Yellow”

I’m just mad about saffron
A-saffron’s mad about me
I’m-a just mad about saffron
She’s just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow

I’m just mad about fourteen
Fourteen’s mad about me
I’m-a just mad about a-fourteen
A-she’s just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Born-a high forever to fly
A-wind-a velocity nil
Born-a high forever to fly
If you want, your cup I will fill

They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

I don't think it's going to work.

He said ‘mellowed’ but what he meant was ‘grown senile.’
