Sorry, but I got tired of all the gushing and felt there needed to be some truth in the discussion.
1. The Iraq war was was based on lies (yes, I'm talking about the first one and not the second one).
2. He appointed a sexual harasser - Clarence Thomas - to the Supreme Court.
3. He opposed opposed the Civil Rights act.
4. His family fortune was built off the crimes of Nazis.
5. There's also his terrible AIDS legacy.

I only have two issues with your OP at this time, points #2 and #4.
As to point #2, that would be "alleged" sexual harasser Clarence Thomas.
As to point #4 "fortune built off the crimes of Nazi's," please provide a citation to support this statement.
Thanks, :coffeepap:
Just a thought on the Nazis. Am not a defender of Nazis by far but why are the Nazis held in such contempt yet the Japanese more or less get a free ride from their activity in WW2? The Nazis killing of the Jews was horrendous but what the Japanese soldiers did is equally horrendous.
Crazy as it sounds but have heard German soldiers were shocked by some of the atrocities against civilians conducted by the Japanese.
I apologize for this tangent.
1. Iraq didn't invade Kuwait?

There will always be those where the letter next to someone's name, an R or a D makes him either evil or a saint.

There will always be those who ignore the acts that makes someone evil or a saint and instead base their support on the letter next to his or her name...
As to point #2,
"...Decades before the #MeToo movement, and long before Time magazine honored “the Silence Breakers,” there were Anita Hill and Angela Wright...
...Hill was allowed to testify before the Senate committee considering his nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Wright, who lives in Charlotte, was not..."
Hill wasn't the only one who knew about Thomas, but why the need for proof? Conservatives would only ignore it like they did with the sexual harasser and pervert in the WH.
As to point #4,
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism...
...The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy....
I voted against and thought Bush Sr. and his work against our Civil Rights Act was inexcusable, but compared to the ignorant clown Numnuts, I realize he was saintly...
Of course they didn't. It was all fake news!

Be aware, the Japanese were also shocked at how the Nazi's treated the Jews - enough so that they often allowed them passage.
Interesting because what the Japanese did to the Chinese (read up on the "Rape of Nanking") was almost as bad. BTW 1% of the American POWs taken by the Germans died-you had the Malmedy massacre-most of the others were wounded soldiers or flyers. over 30% of American POWs taken by the Japanese never made it out alive. The Nazis were awful but their treatment of American and British POWs was fairly decent: their treatment of Russian POWs was pretty awful (as was what the Russians did with German POWs)

Why and why now? What is there, at this juncture, to be gained by, in the abstract, "dissing" an only-just-deceased former POTUS? ...Most especially one who, as a human being, was quite a decent fellow.George HW Bush: Harsh opinions worth reading
