I'm trying to find something on Pickles Bush. I heard that she

[Crazy Guggenheim]

campaigned for McCarthy in 72. I can't seem to find anything on it. Is that true? I know she was a Demo at one time but ............

1. Heres a link that discusses how she killed her ex boyfriend in an accident

from a freeper thread, no less

http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3910b26e685a.htm

Granted, it was listed as an accident, but if this were a democrat we would still have FReepers talking about it as though it were a "hit", to "silence" him.

Hell, they still talk about Kennedy and his accident.

Interestingly enough, however, they also like to call him an alcoholic. Its almost as if they forget that their savior, George W Bush, was an alcoholic for twenty years.

2. I heard the air in her head actually turned out to be helium

[sam sarrha]

4. once an alcoholic always an alcoholic.. but read the LINK in my signature.

there are different kinds of alcoholics, in case you have not been to an A.A. meeting...Yet

[ComerPerro]

7. That is true. But my question is

Why is Kennedy "still an alcoholic", while its out of line to discuss Bush's past drinking?

[sam sarrha]

12. Bush is a DRY drunk still in Denile, read the ..LINK>>..in my signature

[ComerPerro]

14. I know, but I'm talking about the media. The FReepers. Rush

It's more of a rhetorical question.

And, yes, dry drunk describes him well.

5. Can you imagine if it were Hillary who did that when

the Big Dog was in the White House? I shudder to think how the VRWC would have spun it.

[ComerPerro]

6. exactly

they'd be holding candlelight vigils for him every night, for all eight years.

10. There's a little bit more to that accident.

Someone said on AAR that this person was actually a former boyfriend of Laura's. ____________ said she hit him, and he was flung against a telephone pole. He died upon impact.

Apparently, they got into a fight before the accident.

Accident?

3. How did she get the name Pickles?

Just wondering ...

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. She sleeps with a drunk.

[sam sarrha]

13. but he is a rich and powerful wet brain alcoholic villige idiot drunk

[shimmergal]

9. There's a biography of her,

title THE PERFECT WIFE. Written by a reporter who tends to be overly sympathetic withl the Bushies, but still an eye-opener to me. Her and Georgie's marriage is, well. . . proof that not all marriages deserve protection. There's only room in it for George and his ego.

Don't remember that the book talked about her campaigning for McCarthy--it might have, though. Talks about the accident but apparently the author wasn't able to get much info. on it either..it's all been sealed.

11. It might be mentioned in this biography--a reader-reviewer brings it

up--look down the page, and his name is in the index.

15. Thank you!

Both reactions are understandable. For all her research, Gerhart never answers the central question she posits: how did an independent, liberal (she voted for Eugene McCarthy) career woman who purposely chose to teach in a poor elementary school in Austin morph so successfully into a devoted wife whose life's ambition is to make sure her husband's world runs smoothly, even if it means subverting her own beliefs and desires?
