George H.W. Bush remembered as casket arrives in DC

He spoke of first meeting Bush as a 29-year-old entering politics and of a letter his son, an enlisted Marine, received from Bush.

Meanwhile, other late-night hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers, mocked Trump's appearance at the G-20 summit in Argentina, where at one point he accidentally walked away from Argentinian President Mauricio Macri when he was expected to pose for a photo shoot. Bush sent a signed photograph and letter.

Sully showed up Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol, sitting in front of Bush's casket at the Capitol Rotunda, along with people who benefited from the ADA passage under our 41st President.

Bush died Friday at his home in Houston.

Pence Sr. called it "deeply humbling" to stand before Bush's casket and the Bush family. The crew has been tasked by President Trump with carrying out "Special Air Mission 41". He would go on to serve as ambassador to the United Nations and China, head of the Central Intelligence Agency and chairman of the Republican National Committee before being elected to two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president.

"I'm told as he was preparing to become vice president, he once joked about the job saying that there was quote 'nothing substantive to do it all, '" said Vice President Mike Pence.

Clemson-Notre Dame Cotton Bowl game time set
The College Football Playoff selection committee has spoken and Notre Dame is in the national semifinal. No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Oklahoma hold the 8 p.m. time slot in the Orange Bowl on the same channel.

The speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, praised Bush as a "great patriot".

"I think he was one of the kindest, most generous men", said Marge Frazier, who visited the downtown statue on Sunday while showing friends from California around.

Rev. Patrick Conroy, the House chaplain, praised Bush's commitment to service, from Navy pilot to congressman, United Nations ambassador, envoy to China and then Central Intelligence Agency director before being elected vice president and then president, from 1989 to 1993. As a candidate, Trump belittled Bush's son Jeb, a Republican rival for the presidency, and has long criticised the Iraq War launched by George W. Bush.

He says Bush lived his life with "a fundamental decency that resonates across generations". President Donald Trump did not attend, but he and first lady Melania Trump came to the Capitol later Monday to pay tribute.

During the 2016 campaign, then-candidate Trump mocked former primary rival Jeb Bush as "low energy" and has also been fiercely critical of former President George W. Bush, even once describing him as the "worst" president in USA history.
