I have an almost preternatural inability to write anything nice about the Bush family, but I thought this was pretty cool.

Former President George H. W. Bush shaved his head Wednesday as a show of solidarity with a 2-year-old-boy who is battling leukemia. 

The boy, named Patrick, is the son of one of the members of Bush’s security detail. He had lost most of his hair due to his cancer treatments, a Bush spokesman said. 

Bush, 89, got the idea to shave his head to show his support after he noticed that several members of his Secret Service detail, known as the Bush Protective Division, had also shaved their heads in solidarity with Patrick. 

 I have to admit that my disgust for the Bush family has not always included "Pappy" Bush who I saw as a MUCH more moderate President, and one who inspired anger from his own party for at least trying to do what he thought was right.

Here is a picture of the former President getting his head shaved.
