oh my GAWD...Did you all see pappy bush steady himself on the coffin?

[greenbriar]

geesh...

NO CLASS FAMILY

[spinbaby]

1. Would you rather he fell over?

?

[greenbriar]

3. yea

that was no class poppy

[lancdem]

13. lol

[NewJeffCT]

16. It's a no win situation

If he fell over, he'd get slammed, just as much, if not more.

There are plenty of things to bash the Bush family over - I'm not going to get worked up over this.

[sarge43]

2. Well, at least he didn't barf on it. n/t

[greenbriar]

5. or use the flag

to wipe his glasses

[BuelahWitch]

8. Well, he might walking back!

:scared:

[berner59]

4. I think it was a tap of respect...

As much as this family is classless, Poppy seems to know how to behave...

[lapfog_1]

20. Yes, he intentionally reached over and put his hand on it.

However, it was a strange gesture. I mean why not go ahead and pause by the casket and bow your head or something. Why the rush and the "speed tap" on the way by... I mean, I know Gerry played football, but does Pappy Bush have to slap Gerry's "butt" while heading up to the podium?

[RB TexLa]

6. That happens when one ages

could happen to you one day as well

[sarge43]

12. Yup. That's why someone invented canes. n/t

[Benhurst]

14. What will they think of next? NT

[hippiechick]

21. how old is the old bastard now, anyway ?

:shrug:

[Lars39]

22. Born June 12, 1924, according to Wiki...makes him 82+.

[hippiechick]

29. gracias

:hi:

[treestar]

27. But then remember the rumors that he may be the real power

behind the throne - after the election, there was that media blitz to the effect poppy was taking over for jr.

;-)

[Sugarcoated]

7. He's speaking now

Does anyone else get the feeling he's going to burst into tears again? I don't think he's doing well mentally.

[qanda]

9. He keeps stumbling

This is painful to watch.

[greenbriar]

10. he is talking wayyyyyyyy too fast

trying to get through it???


he must know that Ford was Reagans first choice for VP

[lancdem]

15. Wow, I didn't know that

Did Ford turn Reagan down?

[RB TexLa]

17. They couldn't agree on an arraignment

there were talks of Ford having specific roles in things, and there is no constitutional provision or power to do such.

[Benhurst]

19. Yes, They tried, but couldn't work out a deal. It was into the early hours

of the following morning that they finally gave up and sent for George. The rumor at the time was that they found him drinking and about three sheets to the wind, so they had to sober him up before showing him to the delegates.

[Bluzmann57]

11. So what was he supposed to do?

He appeared to be falling. What was he supposed to do? I know we all dislike the bush family, but c'mon, try and be reasonable. Imo, he's the next to go anyway. He isn't looking real good.

[tularetom]

18. Did he blubber?

went to take a shower & when I came back he was gone and war criminal kissinger was speaking.

[booksenkatz]

23. Have to do it, sorry:

[Parche]

24. Bar Bar Bush

Did you see her yapping everytime the camera was on her, I dont think she shut her mouth
once.......or was that Rush Limbaugh in drag????

[Little Wing]

25. Well it's not like he opened it and threw up on Ford's lap

:hide:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

26. poppy's supposed to be getting a new hip at the mayo clinic

very soon.

[RedStateShame]

28. A Bush supported by a dead person? That's inconceivable!!
