Two years of retirement haven't dulled George W. Bush's political zest - and President Obama and Sarah Palin are among his under-the-radar targets.

The 43rd President has told friends the ex-Alaska governor isn't qualified to be President and criticizes Arizona Sen. John McCain for putting Palin on the 2008 GOP ticket and handing her a national platform.

"Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official familiar with Bush's thinking told the Daily News.

"He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin."

3. He's right.

"The 43rd President has told friends the ex-Alaska governor isn't qualified to be President and criticizes Arizona Sen. John McCain for putting Palin on the 2008 GOP ticket and handing her a national platform."

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

22. To be fair she's

every bit as qualified as GW was.

Hell he was woefully unqualified to be Texas Governor.

4. Two years of retirement haven't dulled George W. Bush

Yeah, the luster was gone on that boy a long time ago and it ain't coming back.

I swear, any thing you write about Bush is comedy gold.

5. "...isn't qualified to be President..."

Hello, kettle? Pot calling. You're black!

[Dr.Phool]

7. That twit will be a tweeting terror today!

[jaxx]

8. I'm not on twitter or facebook so I hope people post her antics.

9. Even in retirement Shrub is riding the coattails of this election

See, the re-written history is proving him right already.

11. Dubya rips somebody's wisdom? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! That's a good one

Thanks, I needed a laugh this morning.

12. the second truth in as many days from GWB.

Whats up with that?

[pruple]

13. I'm looking forward to the Republican primary.

It will be fun to what them eat each other alive. I want to see Mittens take down Sister Sarah.

14. The bad part here is that even the GOP knows Bush is an albatross

Now the crazy tea partiers can distance themselves from him and hang his failures on him rather than the obvious answer of the failures being linked to the policies he supported (and which they wholeheartedly support now).

20. I'm tired as hell of hearing what the shrub thinks.

It's not as if bush loyalists are suddenly going to switch political allegiance because the man doesn't like Palin.

[unkachuck]

21. what's he doing, shilling for jeb?....n/t

[BlueStater]

23. Who gives a fuck what this moron thinks?

He should be locked up in a tiny cell for the rest of his life, not opening his fat mouth to offer his worthless opinions.
