Larry Elder has put in a lot of work Saturday pulling up examples of false praise for the late President George H.W. Bush today, and one of his exhibits was this Newsweek cover accusing Bush of having a “wimp factor” to address.
The leftwing media love republicans—after they’re dead.#FakePraiseForGHWB pic.twitter.com/spWuoAQb6K

Now the writer who called Bush a wimp is taking it back. And the reason he’s taking it back is … well, never mind.
Too little, too late.

A bit late, don't you think….

Too late.

Because now it doesn’t count. Thomas is wrapping himself in 41’s reputation to make himself look good. @hughhewitt

Trying to make yourself feel better? You’re a joke, same as all your leftist media pals.

Douches gonna douche.

And you waited 27 years to write this on the day he died. Pathetic yes, surprising no.

The media LOVES conservatives….when they're dead.

Hey look, a journalist deciding they treated a Republican unfairly. As usual, it's coming years after the fact.
— Doug Sheridan (@dougsheridan) December 1, 2018
It is ingrained in every leftists playbook that the only time they can be fair and compassionate with any Republican is after their death. It has happened to every Republican, from Ronald Reagan, to Gerald Ford, to John McCain, and now George HW Bush.

The PolitiBears say Think before you type. And ask yourself….Is what I am typing honorable and true? By typing it, do I do myself or others dishonor? If you answer yes and no in that order then go ahead. If not, then stop.

Don’t worry, no one read it. And really no need to be apologetic when someone dies. They can be a wimp and anything else, and then die. This attention grabbing is a much worse offense.

Oh god, now all the lefties who vilified and smeared him as president are going come out of the woodwork now and tell us what a great, old school Republican he was, the kind they miss oh so much, huh?

I remember this and how angry I was. You called the youngest US Naval aviator in history and a man who flew combat missions against the Japanese a “wimp”. Let’s just start and end with that. 41 THEN went on to become the epitome of political courage, which cost him his 2nd term.

@evanthomas Yeah lemme know when you crash a dive bomber in the pacific, media jerk

No, the reason you were wrong is because that man was twice the man you could ever hope to be.

*tries to ruin every aspect of any Republicans life the entire time they’re alive*
*Republican dies*
“Actually, they were the only good republican”

The media calls every GOP President "Hitler McFascist Racist", then softens when they leave office until they eventually say-
"Wow, the current GOP President reminds me of a certain WWII dictator– Too bad he isnt a good Republican like the last guy."Every Single Time.

Very true; and also very true:
It was in Newsweek. It was already bullshit.
