George H.W. Bush shaves head for young leukemia patient

Most Freepers think it's sweet, but some have to be dicks to prove how heartlessly pure their conservatism is:

Very nice gesture, indeed.

I wish GHW Bush hadn’t gone to the White House last week and kissed up to Obama, an avowed enemy of the United States who is doing his best to destroy our country.

ckilmer is sure this is a distraction:

What you have to conclude is that the reason we see the nice human interest AP story about Bush the Elder—is so as to humanize the republic and republican killers while others stick in the stiletto.

Lancey Howard knows only Republicans do nice things:

Dear old Dad always said, “Class will tell.”

Say what you want about the Bushes’ policies, they always had class. Republican presidents always wear jackets and ties in the Oval Office to show respect - - Democrat presidents (I’m looking at you, Bill Clinton) jerk off in the Oval Office sink. Some presidents make weekly visits to Walter Reed to meet severely wounded military veterans. Other presidents get Marines to hold their umbrellas and get them drinks.

alphadoggie has it right:

It’s amazing...an elderly ex-President does an extremely classy and heartwarming thing, and the FR haters come out in force. Jeez louise, some of you need to lighten up.
