Bush 41 Snubs Son - Gives Award To Ted Kennedy

This was kept pretty quiet - On November 7th, Ted will receive the George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service:

Former President Bush will present the award, which previously went to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

Kennedy has been one of President George W. Bush's harshest critics over the Iraq war.

Former President Bush has sole discretion on who receives the award, said Penrod Thornton of the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation.

Does this demonstrate a rift between 41 and 43? Cavernous, according to the Boston Globe's Georgie Anne Geyer, who suggests it's time for dad to publicly spank his son.
