That is the word out of Waco anyway.
I should say President Bush.

Apparently the President will be speaking to the Lady Bears before the game.
Doomed!
Jimmy Carter is going to Waco? or was that the ghost of Richard Nixon?

Yes I'm just starting out, but at least I think I'm funny.
H.W. or W?
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

George's inspirational pre-game speech to the Baylor women helped our Sooner women pull out a 56-51 win.
WACO (AP) Former President George W. Bush attended the Baylor women's basketball game against Oklahoma on Wednesday in one of his first public appearances since returning to his Crawford ranch.
Bush and his wife, Laura, walked onto the court with Baylor coach Kim Mulkey after the former president addressed the team before the game. As soon as Bush and Mulkey emerged from the tunnel, without any introduction, the crowd stood and broke into loud applause.
The Bushes then took their seats in the first row behind the bench.
"This is our first outing since I left the presidency and I can't think of a better place," Bush said.
When the Bushes were introduced during the first timeout 4:03 into the game, somebody screamed "We love you, George Bush" and there was another loud ovation. He smiled and waved.
The Baylor campus is about 25 miles from the Bush ranch in Crawford, where the Bushes have been staying since last week when President Barack Obama took office.
When Baylor won the NCAA championship in 2005, Bush called Mulkey to congratulate the team and later hosted the Lady Bears at the White House.
"Most of all, I was excited to say hello to Kim. I got to know her when they won the national championship and came to the Oval Office," Bush said. "She is a dynamic person. She's really one of the country's great coaches."
W roots for UT against us in football and for BU against us in basketball? Cool.
Maybe that visit is what led to ESPN's gaff....

Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with you. Bush has been to several Baylor events, he used Baylor to host an economic summit of his a few years ago, and there was agreement between the White House and Baylor that allowed his Secret Service detail to use our facilities. Bush and Baylor have deep roots.Originally Posted by SoonerShark
The correct honorific for George W. Bush is "Governor", not President or even Former President.
When President Obama leaves office, the correct honorific will be Senator.
Senator George H.W. Bush
Governors Carter, Clinton, Ford.
There is only one president.
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked."

Ms. Manners covered this like last week.

Are you sure? I was almost positive that former Presidents continue to be referred to as Mr. President even after the leave office. Hell, at the inauguration the former Presidents were referred to as, "President Carter, President Bush, and President Clinton."
Much like Bush's tenure, things looked strong early-on for Baylor, but an eminent loss at home and abroad when stacked against a formidable foe, there's no chance of coming out a winner, especially when your term limit to Big 12 dominance ended years ago.
OU is the economy to your President/Governor Bush.
OU is the unpredictable gas prices to your President/Governor Bush.
OU is the Democrat takeover of the House, Senate and presidency to your President/Governor Bush.
As long as we are splitting hairs, Senator is the only honorific that stays with an elected official. So H.W. is now Senator Bush, W. is Mr. Bush and Carter is still that pathetic, sad ol' ****er campaigning for the Nobel every year.

You sayin' Judith Martin is wrong?

Not at all, that would be a display of bad manners. I really don't know what her credentials are to merit her status as the know all end all to all things proper; she does appears to have a stick up her *** most of the time.
However, the rules I stated are those agreed upon by the Vienna World Congress and hardly ever change. I do expect they will make some type of accommodation when President Obama is replaced.

Bush was also overhead by the secret microphone police sayin' that Kim Mulkey had a firmer handshake and bigger hands than Obama
He might have sat behind Mulkey the Mouse, but he was checking out Sherrie's A all night long.
I've always heard former presidents referred to as president.
