This morning on CNN George H. W. Bush, in a boat off the coast of Japan, tossed bouquets of flowers into the sea to commemorate the deaths of two of his colleagues when he was in active duty there.

Considering the relatively low profile he's maintained during the last couple of years, this timing of this action could hardly be more productive for his namesake's administration. A cynic might think Daddy was volunteering to be a stage prop in the Chickenhawk Dynasty Theatre of War.
