Former President George H.W. Bush jumped out of a plane today to mark his 85th birthday. It wasn't the first time the older Bush had marked a birthday this way. He celebrated his 75th birthday in 1997 with a jump over Yuma, Arizona.

After he landed, Bush told the press, "You feel exhilarated. You get charged up and excited. That's not easy to do at 85."

Also at the scene was a casual looking George W. Bush. After being urged by the press, he came over and remarked that his dad's feat was "awesome." He also made a joke that his father had thrown up his breakfast while in the air.

Former President George H.W. Bush defended Judge Sonia Sotomayor on Friday, saying it is “not right” to call President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee a “racist.”

“She was called by somebody a racist once. That’s not right. I mean, that’s not fair,” Bush said in an interview with CNN. “It doesn’t help the process. You're out there name-calling. So let them decide who they want to vote for and get on with it.”
