Former President George H. W. Bush surprised many people when he selected Sen. Kennedy to receive the third annual George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service.

I'm not clear about this. I have read where the selecting was done by a committee which he has nothing to do with.

Perhaps this arrangement is similar to the Ford family not controlling the Ford Foundation. Question: Who controls either one? The choices made by both would seem to indicate that they are not overly friendly to conservatives.

Yes, the Bush Library Foundation suggested Kennedy, but if 41 couldn't have vetoed the idea, then he has a strange set-up there. This Library board should be replaced by more conservative people, but I'm sure they are some country-club RINOs that think Kennedy is a fine example of big (very big!) government. Does the taxpayer pay for these presidential libraries like the peasants paid for the tombs of the Pharoahs?
