Ted Widmer reviews Kitty Kelley's The Family for The New York Times Book Review and reminds us that the Bushes are a real class act:

As president, Kelley says, [Bush the Elder] had an African statuette (male) in his private bathroom, and you can guess what anatomical protuberance he hung the toilet paper on.

Yikes.

*****

Widmer also notes that, according to Kelley, our current president "hung a Confederate flag in his prep school dorm room," and that W's grandfather, Prescott Bush, had

"pernicious habit of fooling" (which led him to concoct an extravagant tale of heroism in a publicized letter from the front in World War I....)

(Phony bravery? I'd say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, except for the fact that Prescott later apologized.)
