The Class of (Some) Ex-Presidents

Unlike Jimmy Carter and other politicians from the left, most leaders and ex-presidents know the meaning of class and respect for the office of the President of the United States.

Via NewsBusters,
Joel Sheppard's take on the Brit Hume interview with presidents George H.W. and George W. Bush:

"Fox News Sunday" featured a fabulous interview with Presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush today demonstrating that regardless of their political leaning, these are two fine gentlemen who deeply love their country and have the utmost respect for the office they held.

What was particularly fascinating was how they both had nothing but positive things to say about president-elect Barack Obama, as well as his cabinet picks, and that they refused to say anything negative about him.

In fact, if you forward to minute 3:00 of the video embedded below the fold, you'll witness an absolutely marvelous discussion about why they believe former presidents should keep their opposing views of the current executive to themselves, as well as what they think of administration leakers and those that write tell-all books for financial gain.
