You will not believe this - you simply will not
This is an excerpt from a new book about American Presidents and their wives.

http://www.localnewsleader.com/brocktown/stories/index.php?action=fullnews&id=141161

Shedding Light on Private Lives of Leaders
Staff and agencies
11 February, 2006

By CALVIN WOODWARD

WASHINGTON - Presidents and their wives have been an amorous lot, their White House years coming at the pinnacle of lives entwined. The men pursued and loved these women as intensely as they clawed to power and unleashed armies.

==snip==

Another no-nonsense woman, Barbara Bush, got a treacly note from her husband, George, asking her to show more affection for the television cameras in the 1988 campaign, like their opponents, the Dukakises.

"Sweetsie," he began. "Please look at how Mike and Kitty do it. Try to be closer in more — well er romantic — on camera. I am practicing the loving look, and the creeping hand. Yours for better TV and more demonstrable affection. Your sweetie pie coo coo.

"Love ‘ya GB."

==
Dysfunctional does not even begin to describe the bu$h clan.

7. Oh gosh
Well it doesn't surprise me. When that one daughter died she didn't allow crying at the funeral. Sad. Maybe that's why Georgie is so messed up.

28. Why would she allow crying at the funeral?
She went golfing (with her husband and father, too) the day after her toddler died. People like that don't know how to cry and don't understand why anyone else would, either. Sociopaths, the lot of them.

46. Jennifer Fitzgerald
1980: Bush's campaign manager, James Baker, forces the dismissal of Bush aide Jennifer Fitzgerald, described in a 1982 Time story as having "much to say about where Bush goes, what he does and whom he sees." Bush continues to pay Fitzgerald out of his own pocket.

1983: Bush promotes Jennifer Fitzgerald from appointments secretary to executive assistant. Seven staffers resign in protest. Fitzgerald tells the New York Post: "Everyone keeps painting me as this old ogre. I really don't worry about it. All these bizarre things just simply aren't true."


1985: Jennifer Fitzgerald is sent to work on Capitol Hill after stories arise linking her romantically with George Bush.

1987: Lee Atwater accuses Robert Dole of spreading stories about Bush and Jennifer Fitzgerald. An agreement is worked out, as reported by Sidney Blumenthal in the Washington Post: "The Dole people didn't spread any rumors and promised not to do it again. And the Bush people haven't spread rumors about the Dole people spreading rumors and won't do it again."

the author had access to this note.

Surely the family didn't offer it to him?

Well....on second thought, the bu$hie world is so bizarre they may have thought the note was actually loving - or cute?
