Yahoo busy deleting anti Barbara Bush messages
about this story:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040314/pl_afp/us_vote_bush_mom_040314194200

A lot of posters kept calling her an evil bitch (me included), and they deleted our posters faster than a * backpedal.

1. Maybe I'm being obtuse
But Babs seemed to be the most sane of the clan. Didn't she sway hubby to become pro-choice?

2. What? You believe that?
What about not letting the body bags bother her beautiful mind?

I'm sure that someone has a transcript.

10. Yep, it was on ABC.
I believe many here have the quote saved for eternity. She shrugged off the body bags.

15. the quote:
On March 18, two days before the U.S. invasion, Barbara Bush had an interview with ABC-TV's Diane Sawyer.

''Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's gonna happen?'' Mrs. Bush declared. ''It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?'' ...

11. My favorite quote about her...
... comes from Richard Nixon, admiringly: "That woman really knows how to hate."

`Nuff said....

12. Yeah, and she's certainly worked the same
magic on her offspring, hasn't she? She's a thin-skinned, vindictive, heartless, clueless, arrogant, ignorant, hypocritical, grudge-bearing, lying, nasty, evil old bitch!

17. Oh!
I think she's awful.

I used to think she was OK for not dying her hair even though she looked like 41's mother.

Then I started learning more about her kids, and I'm sorry, but you don't bat zero on your sons being jerks without your having something to do with it.

Especially with all the advantages she and they had.

I can sure see how a working single mother in a bad neighborhood with a boyfriend who isn't nice to her could strike out in spite of everything she might try, but these people had every advantage and they seem completely unable even to empathize with other people much less not just steal from them or kill 'em.

35. Actually, that remark was aimed at Geraldine Ferraro
who was Mondale's running mate in 1984 vs. the Reagan-bu$h ticket.

13. I just looked and they're having trouble keeping up
There are far many more negative responses than positive.

And yes, Barbara Bush said the following (excerpted from commondreams.org, from a Knight-Ridder article):

On March 18, two days before the U.S. invasion, Barbara Bush had an interview with ABC-TV's Diane Sawyer.

''Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's gonna happen?'' Mrs. Bush declared. ''It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?''

24. My message for Babs *
Hiya, Babs! Hey looky here...conservative pundits universally "have at" Presidents Carter and Clinton whenever they have the audacity to speak out against the pResident and these guys are people that actually have something of value to offer.
You are married to a former second-rate President and you spawned the worst pResident in our history. Your other two boys aren't much to brag about either. In short, I don't see anything in your qualifications to make me feel I should value your opinion over that of our former Presidents or for that matter the guy in the unemployment line or the welfare mother.
I can understand your feelings, of course. My Mom always stuck up for me, too...but my Mom also gave me hell if she caught me lying, cheating, or stealing. They say that behind every great man is a great woman. I think the inverse may hold true as well.

29. Ha ha
that is funny. Why on earth would they want to protect this ugly bitch? Has she threatened Yahoo? She is what I like to refer to as summer trash. They, the summer millionaires that have mansions here, all talk that way. They come to Maine, think they own the godamm place , stay for three weeks, do not contribute a damn thing to the economy of Maine, including paying taxes and act like little ballerinas while they make fun of the Maine natives , use them like slaves and consider them uneducated and stupid.

There are plenty of them around here where I live. One is even a friend of the ugly old bag, Babs. The road had to be cordoned once when she visited this water side estate to see her friends.

Her assumed superior attitude is definately one of the summer elite looking down upon the stupid paeons who depend upon these ugly, rich slobs of summer residences for their jobs and livlihood.
