they like republican presidents wono longer have power. they bashed the heck out of george bush when he was in office, annoy the bumper sticker in 1992, annoy the media, in 1988 he had famous dust-ups with the media, he banned "newsweek" from his campaign plane because they produced that awful cover. >> laura: i have to say, boyden, as the white house counsel you knew the bushes so well. when i first met you it was at the end of the bush era in 1992. a heartbreaking loss. listening to bill kristol today, he tried to capture what he thought were the big conflicts of the moment, at a time where it's great to honor who bush was. let's watch. >> there were reagan republicans and bush republicans, jusk republicans and mccain republicans, what strikes me is what they have in common, some were a little more conservative than others, they had different views on some issues but they all respected the country, respected the institutions, tried to live up to what they thought was a pretty impressive history, pretty impressive future for this country
