B*sh 41 to chair National Constitution Center

Anybody find this odd? A shot across the bow at his son's presidency?

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush has agreed to chair the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Joseph M. Torsella, the president and CEO of the Center, announced Bush, 82, will replace John C. Bogle.

Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard Group, will become chairman emeritus of the organization. Bush said in a statement Thursday that he wants to be as involved with the Center as possible, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.

Bush's acceptance of the position contradicts a promise he made to himself on his 80th birthday to not take on any new causes. Bush has been connected to the Constitution Center for several years. He last appeared there to accept a congratulatory medal for his Katrina and South Asian tsunami fundraising efforts, during which he worked with former President Bill Clinton.

Torsella told the Inquirer the board pursued Bush aggressively and they were thrilled to have him taking over as chairman.

1. No other president has committed more CRIMES against the constitution.
IranContra, BCCI, illegal wars in Central America, CIA drugrunning. His evil spawn has been continuing the crime-spree in an effort to beat his dad's record for abusing the constitution and the American people.

And Clinton has spent his presidency and post-presidency PROTECTING Poppy and rehabilitating his reputation and legacy. Thanks Bill - you have made it exceedingly clear where your loyalty belongs.

2. wait. wait. wait.
Didn't 43 just appoint someone to his administration who had previously been in the position that 41 has just taken???

I know it's so. Who was it? And what's with the nepotism?
