Did anyone see CNN's replay of the Bush '41' hagiography last night?

Total attempt to rehabilitate the image of the Bush family but actually is startlingly revealing of the family's patrician/plutocratic background and is present day agenda. What perhaps is not so remarkable is the ommission of controversial pieces of 41's history, such as his role in the Bay of Pigs disaster and the where exactly he was and what he was doing on November 23, 1963. It goes from death of daughter Robin in 1953, then skips to a clip of 41 berating the 'New Frontier' in an ad against Ralph Yarborough, the 'flaming liberal'. I want to know who authorized and funded this transparent propaganda at HBO and why it was shown on CNN. This elitist cabal is going try to steal this election and then try to get Jeb installed in 2016, I can feel it. The ruling class is well aware that we are now firmly ensconced in the age of peak oil driven austerity and are going to do everything required to make sure they retain their privileged existence at the expense of suffering middle class and working folks.

Trying to rehabilitate the Bush/Republican family image to boost Rmoney's chances and pave the way for Jeb in '16. Plus give a boost to other young Bushies in their nascent political/business careers.
