You stay classy, George W Bush

I missed this nugget in present tense a couple weeks ago, but just caught the link in a sidebar on the NYT today:

"Speaking... to an audience of 2,000 people in Calgary, Canada, [George W. Bush] was, predictably, asked about Cheney’s remarks [that Obama's actions were increasing the risk of a terrorist attack] and said of his successor:

“He deserves my silence. I love my country a lot more than I love politics. I think it is essential that he be helped in office.”

No kidding. I'm not sure whether I'm more surprised by the sentiment or the elegance with which it was expressed, but... classy, W. No April fooling.
