摘要

Two decades since losing the presidency after a single term, George Bush senior is in fashion. No living ex-president enjoys higher net approval ratings (though his successor, Bill Clinton, comes close). George W. Bush has written a loving book about his father, out in November. Two other books are in the works (one wistfully titled "The Last Gentleman"). They follow admiring television biographies on hbo and pbs. The establishment cheered Mr Bush's 90th birthday in June, which the former navy pilot marked with a parachute jump. "Happy 90th to our former boss," beamed the cia, tweeting a picture from Mr Bush's security badge as agency director. Sailors on the uss George H.W Bush, an aircraft-carrier, formed the message "41=90" on their flight deck. The Republican National Committee (rnc) hailed Mr Bush's wASP-ish sense of style, selling socks in the vivid colours loved by the ex-president, a "sock man". In May the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library gave Mr Bush its "Profile in Courage Award", casting his 1990 pact with a Democratic-controlled Congress to raise taxes as an act of patriotic self-sacrifice. In the Kennedy library's telling, Mr Bush put country above his 1988 campaign pledge, "Read my lips: no new taxes", though that promise-breaking threatened his career.

Bush）于11月写了一本关于他父亲的情书。作品中还有另外两本书（其中一本书的标题叫“最后的绅士”）。他们关注有关HBO和PBS的电视传记。该机构在6月为布什先生的90岁生日欢呼雀跃，这位前海军飞行员以跳伞为标志。 CIA笑着说：“向我们的前任老板高兴90岁。”他在推特上发推了布什先生作为机构主管的安全徽章上的照片。航母乔治·H·W·布什（George H.W Bush）上的水手在其驾驶舱上形成了“ 41 = 90”的信息。共和党全国委员会（rnc）赞扬布什的wASP式风格，以前总统“袜子人”喜欢的鲜艳色彩出售袜子。 5月，约翰·肯尼迪总统图书馆授予布什“勇气奖”，并与民主党控制的国会签署了1990年的协议，以提高税收作为爱国的自我牺牲。按照肯尼迪图书馆的说法，布什先生把国家置于他1988年竞选承诺之上：“请读我的嘴唇：不要新税”，尽管违反诺言威胁了他的职业生涯。
