Bush Will Not Attend GOP Convention

Former President George W. Bush will not attend the Republican convention next month in Tampa, Politico reports.

Said a spokesman: “President Bush was grateful for the invitation to the Republican National Convention. He supports Governor Romney and wants him to succeed. President Bush is confident that Mitt Romney will be a great President. But he’s still enjoying his time off the political stage and respectfully declined the invitation to go to Tampa.”

This seems like a classic Friday news dump.
