Barbara Bush, now I never liked the politics, but I liked her, why? because she was funny, she wrote a book and cited an almost confrontational exchange at a state dinner between Nancy Reagan and Mikail Gorbachev's wife, Mila, Barbara interceded and asked the Missus, "how do you say asparagus in Russian"?

And when she and George started the national fitness program (funny how conservatives crash and burn Michelle Obama for her "let's move" program) but when Arnold pumped it up for George Senior, Nike sent Barbara dozens and dozens of shoes, including what she called Sir Air Jordans, she never could keep track of them, sooooo, she wear one shoe of one color and one shoe of another every day.

I liked Barbara Bush, she was funny, and if you read her books, she really, really, really, absolutely ADORES George Senior, no matter what, she still looks at him like a teenage girl.

I think that's really precious

And now you see her speaking well of Bill Clinton, why? because of his respect for Poppy, when Clinton and Bush Sr. went to Indonesia post the tsunami, Clinton slept on the floor of the plane that took them, Bush got the bed, Clinton went in for open heart surgery right after that trip, Bush Sr. laughed like hell when he heard that Bill asked the surgeon, "Are you a Republican"?

Jeb called Clinton "Bro"
George called Clinton "a brother by another mother"

Civility, it lives, it exists, too bad others can't learn from this example, maybe it's because the toxicity of Washington is bleached from the fabric of these relationships.

Let's all pretend that's the case, and start some "broing"

I did the unthinkable. I both liked and thanked you for this post no matter if you want it or not. What a solid thing to strive for. Now I have to figure out who I am going to Bro.

Nice post.. Pace..
I was trying to attribute this quote.. have forgotten who said it. but it was someone famous.. "There is something good to be said about everyone.. we only have to say it."
 
How about Sis? Why not? I had four brothers but a sister who I adored just because she was she and the rest of us were he, had to make for a longly life when she was growing-up on the farm.
When I was a kid sisters were expendable, like the time my older brother and I coaxed her into trying the jump from the hayloft with an umbrella. The day she was buried the minister asked me about some hightlights and I told him about the umbrella and the descent from the hayloft and explained to him that "it convinced me I had the greatest sister on earth to take a plunge for her kid brothers rather than see them kill themselves".
