Two Quotes = Answer

Two quotes from two different women regarding George W. Bush turning 60... it seems as if one answers the other's question. The first, from Doris Kearns Goodwin on her perception of the lack of aging:

"He does seem a little less full-faced and a little less wide-eyed than at the beginning, but not dramatically like you see with these other guys," said Doris Kearns Goodwin, the historian and aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson. "You don't see a drawn look. It's as if somehow he has psychologically not allowed the burdens to fully get to him. Maybe it's the exercise, maybe it's his sureness about his own decisions."

The second, from Laura Bush seems to answer that hypothesis:

"George is not an overly introspective person," his wife, Laura, once said with dry understatement.

By George, I think she's got it!
