Political Quote of the Day

From former President George H.W. Bush, after celebrating his 85th birthday with a parachute jump from 10,500 feet:

Asked why he does it, Bush told CNN: “Well, two reasons. One, it still feels good. You still get a charge out of it. Not easy to do at 85. And secondly, just because you’re old, that doesn’t mean you can’t do fun stuff. And you don’t want to sit around drooling in the corner. And so it’s a wonderful release.”

Many happy returns, Mr. President.
