Great finds, STARWISE! Thank you!

I love the fact the audience laughed in the face of the idiot protesters. That's absolutely the best way to handle them.

The above is from one of the two eyewitness accounts you linked, Star. So true, but nevertheless it amazes me just how many people -- including way too many on the Right -- simply do not recognize greatness of character when they see it. From several perspectives, George W. Bush is, without any doubt, a truly great man.

The fact that some people mistake his straightforward, plain-spoken west Texas ways for lack of intelligence says more about them than about our 43rd President.

I think the huge success of his book and appearances speaks to the fact that some people do get it, thank heavens.
