"Join us at the ultimate insider's event, the annual off-the-record Gridiron Dinner, and watch as George H.W. Bush performs for Washington's movers and shakers. The dinners are closed to the public and press, and no presidential appearances before this elite audience have ever before been aired. We will televise all three of Bush's speeches to the Gridiron Club as well as follow his rise from the oil fields of Texas to the Oval Office. Featured footage includes Bush's days with Zapata Oil, his one term in Congress and his failed bid for the U.S. Senate. We'll feature Bush's correspondence and hear from him in his own words."--Richard Norton Smith Click here to access the full exclusive interview with President George H.W. Bush now!
