Left field kind of thing here, but:
How many people are interested in the GWB interview tonight on National Geographic channel on the blow-by-blow of his actions on 9/11? And on the political front, is this an attempt to boost his image and improve is ex-president approval? He still has a low-40's approval ranking (which is higher than his final days in office, but not by much). Most former presidents have bigger bumps this long out of office, so I wonder if he is beginning to be concerned of how bad his legacy is going to be.
To tie this back to current politics, how much does Rick Perry hope for a GWB popularity bump? From what I hear, the Bush people actually hates Perry and vis-versa. But there is no doubt we are going to see ads of Perry morphing into Bush come election time. There are many parallels between the two men (starting with being Texas governors, but not ending there), that a low Bush popularity rating is only going to hurt Perry.
