Moderation indeed, a trait that is not extend to his son who became fixated on the fact that father Bush eased up on the Iraqis.

Can't believe the narcissist-in-chief has been invited to the funeral. I sure hope the Bush family doesn't have to regret him doing something stupid, nasty or horrendous. He WILL find a way to make it about himself. Sad.
