George H.W. Bush wears the wackiest socks

Former President George H.W. Bush is known to wear some wacky socks – but he may he may have outdone himself this time. During an event in Houston on Tuesday, Bush was photographed wearing red and white socks that featured a picture of his own face on them.

His granddaughter Jenna Bush Hager noted the interesting fashion statement on “The Today Show” on Thursday.

“I have to say if you know him or know of him, he’s a very humble man,” she said. “His mom always said, ‘Don’t be braggadocious,’ but evidently he likes his own face.”

George H.W. Bush Wins LBJ Foundation Award

The Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation has given its LBJ Liberty and Justice for All Award to former President George H.W. Bush for his civility, civil rights work and bipartisanship.

The nation’s 41st president was presented with the honor at his office in Houston by the late Lyndon Johnson’s daughters, Lynda Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson, The Dallas News reports.

“The period of his presidency stands as a well-remembered time when those qualities characterized leadership in our country at the highest levels — a condition from which all Americans benefited,” LBJ Foundation chairman Larry Temple said.

“I know President Johnson would be elated with the presentation of this award, the LBJ Foundation’s highest honor, to President Bush.”

Bush said he and his wife Barbara “both had such great respect for LBJ and of course we loved Lady Bird [his wife]. They were both great Americans, and great Texans, who loved their country and their state.”
