Is BUSH Sr going to cry some more?

[pollyannaish]

I know a lot of men about his age. They are all tough guys who led respectable, hard fought, tremendously honorable lives and kept their emotions very close to the chest for many, many years.

And to a man, they are weepy today when discussing particular topics. These are men who have sucked it up for a lot of years and did the best they could to make the world a better place.

I will NOT disregard the depth of their feelings. They are men of honor and I think they've earned their right to any sentimentality they wish to express, as well as our respect and gratitude. Period.
