Presidential Hagiography

Just one note.  The two gentlemen make repeated references to Presidents who seek mother's approval, and are distant from their fathers, or have absent fathers.  They suggest that by dropping their father's name (John Calvin Coolidge, Stephen Grover Cleveland, and one more) is a sign of this humility.  They contradict themselves when discussing George Walker Bush, whom they both admire.  Didn't anyone notice that by calling himself "G.W" (which George Walker Bush has asked people to do, including the author) he is consciously drawing parallels between himself and George Washington?  What insipid minds.  They manage to get out some lame Clinton cracks, too.

To show you just how biased this pair was, the interviewee said that the best Presidential parents in history were George and Barbara Bush.  They happen to be parents of the current President.
