Bush ’41′s Mouth-To-Mouth

ABC’s Jake Whitman Reports:  Former President George H.W. Bush was in good spirits last night in Los Angeles, a day after being hospitalized for a fainting spell on the golf course.

Bush used a cane to walk on stage before delivering a lecture at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

The former President recalled Sunday’s health scare, saying it began when he started to feel tired, and "the next thing I remember… I’d fainted and I was on the floor."

Bush then joked, "And the ugliest part was my dear friend from Las Vegas, Sig Rogich, was giving me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and had about six beautiful girls there and there was Sig doing his part."

Bush was speaking of his friend Sig Rogich, one of his long-time political advisors.

The former President stayed overnight at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage and was released early Monday.

Bush was expected to return to Houston after last night’s speech.
