Last week President George Bush Senior (or Bush 41 as he is now known) gave a speech in the Florida Legislature marking the departure from Office of his son Jeb. He broke down in tears, but were the tears for Jeb or for Dubya?

Why is Jeb leaving office? He is the governor of Florida. Did they have an election?
Bloody yanks ! Laugh at anything, cry at anything...
Wouldn't you be better showing some Craig Ferguson clips ?
who is Craig Ferguson? Didn't he used to play for Everton? :)
No, bizarrely enough he is Scottish, and presents a very irreverent show on CBS after David Letterman. The really bizarre thing is seeing a Scotsman with a very strong accent, making jokes at Donald Rumsfeld's expense, being rude about Bush, Cheney, et al, but on American television. Honestly, I don't know how he gets away with it.
Pat Buchanan is always worth listening to. He's an awesome commentator.
Thanks for the YouTube Iain.
41, like many a man before him, is a far better ex-president than he ever was a president. As for the tears, if you were related to those two, you'd bawl too.
Is Nicole out of rehab yet, BTW?
(Ferguson is hilarious and gets away with more than an American could precisely because he's not American)
raincoaster - you are bang on the money - he would get slaughtered by the Murdoch press / ABC / NBC for being 'Ann-tie American' if he had been born that side of the pond.
Seemed he just stumbled into comedy, and got a bit of a break with the BBC and is still doing stand-up shows in Los Angeles. Though in view of recent events he may decide that isn't 'career enhancing' these days.
Verity: Yes, the governorship of Florida was up for election in 2006, and thus Jeb Bush will leave office in 2007. Charlie Crist, a Republican, is governor-elect. Jeb could not stand again as Florida law limits governors to two terms.
