It’s Good To Be Ex-President

George-W.-Bush-Texans-cheerleaders-tryouts-April-2013_091314

Former President George H.W. Bush seems to be recovering well from his recent health scare well enough to meet the neighbors:

Former President George H.W. Bush congratulated newly named members of the 2013 Houston Texans cheerleading squad on Wednesday.

A photo shows Bush, surrounded by cheerleaders, smiling and sporting patriotic socks.

“Bachelor” style, the former president gave a red rose to each woman who made cut, according to a report on HoustonTexans.com

Almost makes the travails of the Oval Office worth it.

    Consider the outrage if it was Bill Clinton in the photo and not George H.W. Bush….

    And I’d say it’s the speaker fees that makes it worth it….
