Even more than usual...

How much would suck to be George W Bush and his Daddy Issues today...? 85 years old and The Old Man is still jumping out of airplanes... He nearly asphyxiates himself eating pretzels in his front room and Dad jumps out of airplanes for laughs.

As soon as pictures or video surface of the hilarious ballet of uncomfortable body language between Georges senior and Junior that occurred at the impromptu press conference after the jump, I will post them. They are certain to become legendary. Good ol’ Jeb pushes right in there next to dad when summoned over, but W twists, pulls, looks around and keeps a conspicuous physical distance between himself and his dad till George senior literally wrestles him into the tight three-shot.

Priceless! I hope it becomes as ubiquitous as I feel it deserves to be.

Update: Here it is! Enjoy the “awesome” (W’s characteristically erudite appraisal of his father’s accomplishment) Oedipal awkwardness that starts around 1:55:
