I didn't read about it because I don't give a shit about his mass-murdering, crime family!
A bunch of Nazis if you ask me!
But I will put up the limited reader response in the NEW (smaller but more expensive) New York Times:
"Bush 41 and 43, and the Rest of Us"
To the Editor:
Re “First Father: Tough Times on Sidelines” (front page, Aug. 9):
It doesn’t take a cold-hearted person to have less sympathy for former President Bush’s hurt feelings than for the victims of his son’s policies.
I worry more about the next generation of Americans, who will have to pay off the federal debt this president has piled up by giving unneeded tax cuts and tax breaks to America’s wealthiest, than I worry about Father Bush’s “pain” at hearing his son criticized.
Both Presidents Bush will never have to worry about being able to afford their health care or find a way to support their families on a minimum-wage job that includes no benefits.
My heart also goes out to the American military people and the families who lost loved ones in a war that should never have happened, and wouldn’t have been authorized if President Bush had told the American people the truth.
My heart also goes out to the Iraqi people whose lives we have destroyed in a misbegotten war that was started under false assumptions and false pretenses and then waged with colossal incompetence by President Bush and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Don’t cry for the Bushes, father and son; cry for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, for whom federal help never came.
I’ll save my tears for those who truly suffer in this world. The rich and powerful can take care of themselves.

To the Editor:
It is a further demonstration of the elder Bush’s utter inability to empathize with, or understand the concerns of, ordinary Americans if indeed “he likens himself to a Little League father whose kid is having a rough game.”
The last time I checked, no matter how poorly a young boy or girl may play, his or her ineptitude does not result in the deaths of thousands of Americans halfway across the world, the squandering of our nation’s good name or the loss of so many cherished liberties.
Mistakes on the playing field do not take the work of a generation to undo. The former president should be ashamed for using this analogy.

To the Editor:
The tiniest of violins are playing for Bush 41, as he “finds it tough to watch his son get criticized from the sidelines.”
Perhaps I’d have a little more sympathy if he instead found it tough to watch what his son’s done to our country. But that’s the Bush philosophy for you: the only things that matter are you and your own.

Yup, WE ALL KNOW what an ASSHOLE HE IS!
