A beautiful mind
Former First Lady Barbara Bush said of the war in Iraq: "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

Snopes.com has the rest here

1. Barbara Bush
is no better than the rest of her family. We do not expect anything good from her mouth. She is a wolf in sheep's clothing just like the rest of the evil Bush family.

2. And we still have some
wondering how this man and his principles grew to be so corrupt?

This is the same woman who encouraged * to be just like Moses and lead us out of 'Egypt' or Dem Land or whatever she thought we needed to led out of at the time. Oh wait, it was economic stability and a few other things like respect around the world, and general religious tolerance.

3. Oh, how I long for the Clinton years again!
We seemed to have more money then even though my husband and I actually earned less than we do now. Now we struggle to pay bills, buy gas and feed our children. We are so tired for the last few years we stumble to bed every night. God how I hate Bush. Sorry for the rant, but I can not help but reminisce about the good ol' days when I hear reference to them!

4. The tide is turning
hang in there. Remember that Clinton/Gore were able to turn around the huge deficit of the Reagan/Bush Administrations. It can be done.

6. This family has made their money in the war business
...for almost a century. Their activities are reflective of the ruling elites and financial class they represent.

See Kevin Phillips, American Dynasty

7. "And watch him suffer."
You omitted the "p.s." that gets to me. BB can't mess up her beautiful mind with bodybags, but finds it painful and onerous to watch her firstborn son, George W., "suffer" from the burden of managing the war and from the undue criticism for his efforts.

Yeah.

8. Barbara Bush was voicing what she and members of her class
think about the war. Why should they bother to hear about the sacrifices being made by the working class? After all, there's more where they came from, right?

She and her grand-children have other priorities: partying, drugging, sleeping around and being good wholesome "Christians."
