It is common for former presidents to endorse their party's candidate at the convention. They usually don't get too salty about cursing the other side. As far as I know Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter never missed one. Richard Nixon was persona non grata for obvious reasons, but I don't think Gerald Ford ever missed one. I know Reagan was at the 92 RNC. But later Reagan missed the RNC for health reasons. 
The press made a pretty big deal of George w bush not participating in the 08 RNC. No one really commented on why, was Bush trying to be above the fray, was he too unpopular at that point, or did McCain just not like him?
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
