George W sent a letter, guess this was too hot for him to make a personal appearance, George H was the keynote speaker at the 25th anniversary of the loonie Moonie times.. they were all there hugging and kissing, under the veil of conservatism all the while making big bucks for their agendas.
There will be those who will come out and defend this as the NYT, WAPO et al are the liberal counterparts.. there is a major difference though, this is founded and funded by a religious cult and looses big bucks every year to promote their agenda.

Mr. Bush said that while other newspapers raised fears that the Reagan administration was leading the nation toward a nuclear holocaust, the fledgling newspaper stood firm in support of the nation's security.
"Then a funny thing happened: Freedom prevailed," Mr. Bush said.
Mr. Bush grew philosophical as he reviewed the quarter of a century he and the newspaper shared. "This is truly a cathartic experience for me. It's been 14 years since I left Washington behind and, to be honest, when I left the White House after the 1992 campaign, I did not feel particularly charitable towards the Beltway press corps.
