I don't think it's just Jeb, although he is rightly proud of him, I think it's ALL the crap thrown at both of his boys that have finally caught up with 41!

He once said that he would rather the garbage was thrown at him than his sons.

It must be true. How painful to stand by and watch your honor be impugned by the likes of certain people

I had that same thought while watching the video. GHWB was talking about (and feeling genuine pain for) both sons, while addressing the accomplishments of his second son.

I think also there is history there to from what I have read over the years it was a very emotive time and expectations very high at the time and some have even suggested that 41 thought that GW was more likely to loose than Jeb.

I believe he made a few remarks at the time that over the years have been taken out of context so maybe this is what was catching up with him as well as he sees the daily criticism of GW.
