Former President Bill Clinton visited former President George H.W. Bush Sunday in Houston, and he came prepared with a present that might not make Barbara Bush very happy.
Clinton tweeted about their get together on Twitter, saying it was "great" to reconnect with 41 and the former first lady. "We caught up about kids, grandkids, old times, and new times," he said. "And socks." No, not this Socks — these kind of socks; Bush, 92, has a vast collection, and in 2013 he admitted he "absolutely love[s] a crazy pair of socks ... Barbara, on the other hand, has had enough."
