Good point. I like smoking although I know it is toxic.
Bush 41 has no choice but to remain "above the fray" until 43s term in office is done. He remembers from the '92 race how the media plastered his "he's a bozo" remark about Clinton and it was used against him (although it was a true statement!)...Just like in sports, a true athlete plays to win with his own skills-even when the other team has stolen the play book, paid off the refs and cheats whenever possible.
