Ellen DeGeneres Sits Next To George Bush At Cowboys Game. Fans React.
The Dallas Cowboys game Sunday featured a huh? moment that had nothing to do with the action on the field.
It was the sight of former President George W. Bush and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres sitting next to each other that caught the attention of people watching the game on TV.
The two, attending the game with their wives Laura Bush and Portia de Rossi, appeared convivial as they watched from Cowboy owner Jerry Jones’ suite. Bush “at one point after the national anthem got a big laugh from the comedian,” the Fort Worth Star-Telegram wrote.
Fans on Twitter were surprised, angry, amused or otherwise:

Fox NFL just showed a shot of George Bush and Ellen Degeneres sitting next to each other at the Cowboys game. Is my vision screwed up?

If you told me George Bush would be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres at a Cowboys game, I'd ask how long I've been in a coma.

It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight. Just untouchably rich.

I didn't realize how badly I wanted to watch football with George Bush and @TheEllenShow until today when I saw them together watching football without me
