Bush shows humor at Reagan Library

With Nancy Reagan on his arm, former President George W. Bush on Thursday brought his bestseller campaign and an unexpected sense of humorous storytelling to the cathedral of American Republicanism - the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Tony Castro in the Daily News.

"I have zero desire to be in the limelight except to sell the book," Bush said in an evening marked by a display of Mark Twain-like humor as he told stories of his presidency mixed with fatherly advice.

Several hundred GOP faithful, many of them carrying copies of his book "Decision Points," gave the former president a rousing standing ovation when he arrived under the nose of the gleaming Air Force One in the main pavilion of the library.
