Did you just see W snub Bill and Hillary?

He was being escorted in and shaking hands and such - walked right by the Clintons - without even so much of a glance.

Bill was eyeing him - trying to make contact - but W just walked by.

Might have been the camera angle - and they cut from that shot - so maybe he did get to them...

President Bush, 92, was moved to ICU Wednesday morning to "address an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia."

The former president had to have a procedure to "protect and clear his airway," said spokesman Jim McGrath. It required sedation and was the first time the president had ever been intubated.

Bush 41 was initially admitted to Methodist in the Texas Medical Center on Saturday for shortness of breath.

Besides George sr, I worry about bill. He's not looking to great. His parents didn't live to an older age. Of course his father died before he was born so perhaps he could have made a long life.

Just looked odd - Bill did look like he was mugging for W - though waiting to catch his attention.
