Former President George H.W. Bush hospitalized again in Houston

Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized for the second time this year.

Bush spokesman Jim McGrath confirmed to KHOU-TV that the 92-year-old is at Houston Methodist Hospital — but said he shouldn't be there long.

"He is already well on the path to recovery and going home," McGrath said.

Bush was hospitalized for about two weeks in January to be treated for pneumonia. His wife, 91-year-old Barbara Bush, also spent several days at Methodist in January because of bronchitis.

The couple celebrated their 72nd anniversary on Jan. 6; their marriage is the longest of any presidential couple in American history. In February, they were on the field before Super Bowl LI in Houston so the 41st president could perform the pre-game coin toss.

TV news reports say that Bush was admitted Friday with a persistent cough and mild pneumonia.

1. Just to be clear..

This would be the same George H W Bush who had "business meetings" with Shafiq Bin Laden and other members of the Carlyle Group on September 10, 2001. Yes, I know, guilt by innuendo and association, but no sympathy or warm wishes here.
