[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — A spokesman says former President George H.W. Bush was an official witness at the same-sex wedding of two longtime friends in Maine.

Jim McGrath says Bush and his wife, Barbara, attended the ceremony Saturday joining Bonnie Clement and Helen Thorgalsen. He says they were there as private citizens and friends.

A photo posted Sunday on Thorgalsen's Facebook page shows Bush signing the marriage license as a witness. She captioned the photo: "Getting our marriage license witnessed!"

True dat! He is the good Bush.

Do you seriously think in these terms? Good people can do bad things, bad people can do good things. Former presidents are people not simply figure heads of political party ideology. If a guy does a good thing, he does a good thing it really doesn't matter what the political affiliation or whether there is any at all. I don't understand the thinking on this at all.

Does who think in what terms? As many hearts as you have next to your name, I'd think you'd know how to quote a post and reply to it by now.

She just loves a good tussle, there is no rhyme or reason to half of the posits she makes.

Sr loves the gays and Jr paints cat memes. I'm coming around to the Bush family.

I know. Just taking the free shot since she likes to beat everyone else down.

Kinda makes you wonder if presidents do actually run things, or if it's their advisers running the show?

I think once he found out Jr.was doing Condi,all the prejudice in his heart melted.

Jeb is going to make a run for president. The Bush dynasty lives. I'm all for it.

Everyone tries to save their legacy late in life.

Good for him...he knows some gays. Next he'll officiate a black wedding and maybe complete the trifecta by loving an illegal alien.

The Bush family aren't bad people. They're decent people. I don't like their politics - and Jr. crossed a few too many lines for the politics for me - but they're good people. I've always had a lot of respect for Bush Sr. His putting the good of the country ahead of his re-election prospects was quite amazing. He's a very intelligent man. I respect Bush Jr. not for what he did in office but for what he has done and continues to do all across Africa saving and improving the lives of so many of the least fortunate people on this planet. It's one of the privileges a US President has after leaving office. He can really make a difference in the world and how they use that ability often says more about their personality than their time in office. I applaud the elder Bush for making this statement. He may have been one of the few one term Presidents. But he is a great man.

I think you do. It's called - competition. Why do many debate various topics in this forum? To make a difference in the world?
