Bubba did say that the criticisms that W didn't get out in front of the tsunami aid issue were "a bum rap." Once in a while he meanders into the truth. I think in this case it was because he put himself in W's shoes; and probably had gotten a phone call from W very early on in the hours following the tsunami news.

I wonder if his recent surgery has caused him to reflect on his life somewhat ..??
