So he believed then.  The situation 10 years later is in fact.... 10 
years different.

And this means what... that Bush Sr. thinks his son is a prat and is 
about to disown him?  I imagine when Tom Daschle visits the Whitehouse, 
the President shakes his hands too.  Are you expecting the President to 
spit on Chirac the next time they see him?  Okay, so Bush Sr. happens to 
have some history with a Senator that does not like or agree with his 
son... big deal.

Clearly you resort to Liberal rhetoric instead of common sense and 
rational thought.

What is this?   What "anti-Bush bias"?  The fact that his father knows 
Ted Kennedey and wishes to honor him for other reasons?  Neither Bush 
Sr., Ted Kenedey, or the Liberal conglomerate has the facts about 
anything.... so you manufacture intrigue and call it fact.  You have no 
idea what is in Bush Sr.'s heart, or what he might have discussed with 
his son.  Spare yourself the effort... you do not need to find me 
evidence of anti-Bush sentiment.  I am well aware of Ted Kennedy, most 
Liberals, and the crap that floats in this newsgroup.  I remain 
convinced that anti-Bush and hatred exists.... if only there was 
something tangible behind it.... alas, but silly me.... how intelligent 
could one be to rationalize hatred against another.
