The prelude to breakfast was concluded by an intimate video presentation from former president George Herbert Walker Bush. He remembered fondly the Washington Times, before speaking at some length about the importance of faith and family for the country, and for himself, his wife, and his children, including the current U.S. president.

In 1988, Bush's career as a brownnoser finally paid off when he received the Presidential nomination. He immediately picked an obedient lapdog of his own for the Veep slot: Indiana senator Dan Quayle. Quayle was a hopeless lightweight, who often appeared flustered during press conferences. But he was slavishly loyal, which is really all Bush understood or cared about.

How unlucky for Bush considering "there were [...] six beautiful girls there!" Aside from getting CPR from a same-sex ugly, however, the former president was reportedly fine. And, unlike his predecessors, his fainting apparently had more to do with the fact that he is 82 years old and was in 94 degree heat than his affinity for all-night benders and coke-fueled promiscuity.
