A charming vignette by Babs Bush

[bluedeminredstate]

After ditching Newsweek b/c of Howard Fineman's insufferable whoring, I found the latest issue laying around the den today. I think my husband was unable to resist the gizmos on the cover...
My curiosity got the better of me as Mother Chimp is featured in an article. Has anyone read this? First the old hag makes a supremely insensitive remark about a premature infant she saw at a hospital visit, then she goes on to say that Al Gore was gracious the day of Chimp's installation. OK, she should have stopped there, because she related a story about sister chimp Doro protesting and yelling in front of Al and Tipper's house during the 2000 recount. She thinks that's just a hoot.
Has anyone ever heard this before? Is it it not enough for the family to game the state of Florida in the election? I guess not, because W's sister felt the need to harass the Gore's by screaming at them from the street in front of their home.
I'm absolutely floored by this. And Babs thinks it's just a real knee-slapper!
These people have no manners and no class. But I guess we knew that.

:grr:

1. "I'm through with her"

Truer words are yet to be spoken :grr:

2. Imagine if that had been anyone from Clinton's family, or

any other non-wingnut! They would have been arrested for trespassing, dragged through the mud, trashed and ruined by the "liberal" media, etc., etc. Sister Chimp had a right to protest, but not in front of Gore's house and not in a harassing, threatening manner! And I suppose the sheeple will find this shit funny as well.

I know I probably shouldn't even ask for the sake of my soon-to-be-ready dinner, but I just have to know-what was Mother Baboon's "insensitive remark about a premature baby she saw in a hospital?" Some right-to-lifer, huh?

5. Here' the quote from the magazine

"'Where do you draw the line' in saving those who would not have survived in another time? 'What kind of quality of life? It's the same with old age. Are we doing the right theing?' Then again she says of the newborn,'But they say she's brought great happiness...'"

I don't know, something about that offhand remark offends the shit out of me! But everything about her offends the shit out of me.

[liberalhistorian]

8. Now, that quote sounds exactly like

what the howling wingnuts are always claiming are our "evil" beliefs regarding those matters. I guess it doesn't matter if Mother Baboon or any other wingnut actually says it. What fucking hypocrites!

And I wonder what Mother Baboon would have said to someone who said that about her daughter who died of leukemia as a child?????????????

3. Bab - straight from the Salem witch trials...

A few months ago, many us remember, when the Babs was asked by a reporter what she thought of the war in Iraq.

Her answer was:

"..and why would I let my beautiful mind go there?"

Now. I'm a realist, and generally I can size up a situation real fast.

This woman must be suffering from Alzheimer, or some other desease that afflicts nuerotransmitter physiology in old age.

History will frame old Baraba as a "despicable hag". She is absolutely one of the most disgusting characters on the American stage.

4. welcome to the DU, Louis!

Babs doesn't suffer from Alzheimers; she's just a mean old ugly f***ing witch. Who thinks she looks the same now as she did when she was First Hag? ME, ME.

[spooky3]

6. If she were physically beautiful, she would still be ugly.

An uglier, more worthless (i.e., contributing nothing to society) woman, I don't think I have ever encountered.

[liberalhistorian]

7. Indeed, why would she let her

"beautiful mind (gag, choke, cough) go there?" She certainly doesn't have any children or grandchildren or any other relatives anywhere near the military, let alone a combat area. And she has nothing but disdain for those of us unfortunates in the lower strata, aka the common people. So why the fuck would that hag care? Like mother, like son.

9. No need to go there mentally

Hell, the armoured car backs right up to the white house to take her husband's cut of war profiteering directly off the top. Don't you let it trouble your Medusa-like little head, Babs.

10. Read Franken's Book

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about Babs...

[Touchdown]

15. Ok. Babs should be saved for Streisand.

There is no way this dried up old crone deserves a cool nickname like that.

19. Hi Louis Lemire!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

11. She's an evil woman

Look at her Spawn. There was a time I thought she was a Betty Ford or Lady Bird - bright, compassionate. She may be bright, but she is not compassionate. She pulled the wool over many eyes in the past. No more.

[Southsideirish]

12. So old "Doro"' finally appears - 'was wondering what her story was....

I never hear a peep about this one - 'was hoping against hope that she was somehow "normal" and not closely affiliated with this weird bunch. To think that she would actually be part of that screaming lunatic mob outside Gore's VP mansion is just incredible - how low can you go - pretty low indeed - what a "sorry lot" these people are. Ugh!

[roguevalley]

13. She's the old version of Anne Coulter

She probably feels like she's some kind of patrician, as if having money makes you better. Unfortunately, her actions and words speak
of what and who she really is: low-class, declasse' and disgusting.
This is the woman who went golfing the day after her daughter's
funeral.

The only thing I forgive a Bush for is George HW Bush's many infidelities. Lordy. Sleeping with her everyday? SHUDDER!

[terrya]

14. Don't cross this woman.

Barbara Bush is mean and vindictive. When hubby lost in 1992, Bar (and Dubya) nursed a BIG grudge against the Clintons (and by extension Al Gore). Therefore, it was priority one to "reclaim" the White House. The Bush family has this sense of entitlement, IMO, about the Presidency. It somehow "belongs" to them. And Barbara Bush represents that disgusting attityde perfectly. This family represents the worst about privlege and wealth...only attending to the needs of themselves and their class.

I...I want to see the best in people. But, Lord Almighty...it's people like Barbara Bush and that family that makes seeing the best in people so damned difficult.

[Touchdown]

16. I have the perfect antidote to that "interview"

A double feature.

first: The Manchurian candidate. Withness the similarities between the fake pearl battleaxe and Angela Landsbury.

Second: The Naked Gun 2 1/2...Buy, don't rent it. You will need it probably every 2 weeks during the election. What was once Leslie Nielsen's bumbling around when he beats her up, is now, beautifully cathartic.

17. If anyone can get their hands on the first Clinton swearing in....

Take a look at Babs though out the whole procedure and especially when Clinton is taking the oath. Shit...that bitch is pure,pure evil.

Even Bush could manage a smile now and then,he knew he'd been beat and this is what the American people wanted. Bab's looked like something out of Evil Dead 2--Dead by Dawn....

18. This gives new meaning to calling people "bush"

20. Can you post the paragraph about Doro harassing Gore?

Could you type it up if it's not available online? I really think we need to spam that one around. That is outrageous. The old bat really let one slip out, there.

[bluedeminredstate]

21. Here goes...

"It's actually a 'pain in the neck' to be the sibling of a sitting president, she says, and tells how her daughter, Doro Koch, picketed outside Vice President Al Gore's residence 'in disguise' during the 2000 recount. 'That's Doro!' Mrs. Bush hoots when telling about it. 'She felt better' after yelling at the Gore's house for a while, Mrs. Bush says."

How utterly charming. A real laugh a minute.
