Bush 41 Decries NYTimes Unfair Coverage of his Son (VIDEO)

Today on Fox News Sunday, George H.W. Bush was on to talk about many things, but one thing that was brought up was the way the press has treated his son. Papa Bush didn’t pull any punches. Here’s a transcript of this portion of the tape:

WALLACE: I’m going to ask you about that, because you were quoted recently as saying, ”We want to get our son home. We want to get him home from the rat race and all the unfair attacks.”

G.H.W. BUSH: Yes.

WALLACE: How tough has that been on him? How tough has it been on you?

G.H.W. BUSH: Well, I don’t know about him, but it’s been tough on his father and his mother. We’re not very good sports about sitting around and hearing him get hammered, I think unfairly. Now, there’s some things that clearly he deserves criticism for, but I think — I think the idea that everything that’s a problem in this country should be put on his shoulders — I don’t think that’s fair.

And I’m not trying to get back in the game by criticizing people — for example, The New York Times — but if I…

WALLACE: I’m glad you’re not criticizing The New York Times.

G.H.W. BUSH: … if I were — you know, it’s just — it’s just grossly unfair. But that’s the game. That game’s over. He’ll come home with his head high, having ran a clean operation, having kept this country strong and free after an unprecedented-in- history attack, 9/11, and he’ll have a lot to be proud of, and he can start by his mother and father being very proud of him, and we always will be.

Good on you, dad…I’m sure your son is just as proud of you.

    Clean operation, Guantanamo torture cells.
    50,000 dead innocent Iraqi civilians, be proud.
    That his dad and mom are pround of him is not news, it is a scandal.
