Former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush will make a rare political appearance by hosting a fundraiser at their Houston home -- but it isn't just for any House candidate.

"I am very honored to have the support of President and Mrs. Bush, "Quayle said in a statement. "Barbara Bush is beloved by America and rightfully so.
