After the rancor of the 2000 presidential election, the peaceful
ceremony of George W. Bush's ascension to office seemed less like a
triumph and more like a relief. Despite a few awkward moments when Bush
and his erstwhile rival had to share the same stage, or pass by one
another, the transition went off without a hitch. George H.W. Bush was
on hand to shed a tear of pride for his son, even as Barbara looked on,
dry-eyed but smiling. |
