One of the nicest touches of the Dateline story (and Bush was indeed on his game, and more confident and articulate than I have EVER seen in the interview context), was listening to Laura Bush, who was also very poised and articulate as she spoke about her father's service, and the meaning the moment and the historical event, and watching Bush listen to her, with admiration and love. You could just see it in his face. This couple is very much in love with each other. It sort of reminds me of the Reagans.
There was something too sweet to be wholesome about the Reagan's gooey love, as far as I'm concerned. Something too other-worldly about it, or, perhaps, it was too much like a secret society that shut the whole world out. Nancy's doe-eyed gaze at her husband always seemed too oddly school-girlish for a grown woman.
GWB and Laura have a love I can relate to, a sort of real thing of this earth with no fairies dancing about their heads. I agree completely, though, they are very much in love. They are also eminently decent, salt of the earth people.
