More than I can say for the Democrats and Muslims of late.
On the controversy involving domestic eavesdropping without court approval, Mr Bush feigned astonishment.
“You know, you can’t please some people no matter what you do,” he said. “Half the time they say I’m isolated and don’t listen. Then when I do listen, they say I need a warrant.”
Mr Bush acknowledged members of his family in the room, including brothers Jeb and Marvin and his father.
“A little earlier as we were getting ready, Dad was talking to Jeb, Marvin and me. Surrounded by his sons, he got a little choked up. Amidst the tears, he said: ‘Boys, this evening would be perfect if only your new brother, Bill Clinton, could’ve been here.’
And he explained why Mr Alito’s wife burst out crying at one stage and had to leave the committee room.
“Martha Alito won America’s heart,” Mr Bush said. “What a warm and wonderful woman. I talked to her. You wanna know what really caused her to cry at those hearings? Boredom.”
