Bush '41's Mouth-To-Mouth

ABC's Jake Whitman Reports: Former President George H.W. Bush was in good spirits last night in Los Angeles, a day after being hospitalized for a fainting spell on the golf course.

Bush used a cane to walk on stage before delivering a lecture at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

The former President recalled Sunday's health scare, saying it began when he started to feel tired, and "the next thing I remember... I'd fainted and I was on the floor."

Bush then joked, "And the ugliest part was my dear friend from Las Vegas, Sig Rogich, was giving me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and had about six beautiful girls there and there was Sig doing his part."

Bush was speaking of his friend Sig Rogich, one of his long-time political advisors.

1. Um. Did Poppy stop breathing?

Or did Sig decide to seize the day?

[Bunny]

4. I was wondering the same thing. If he actually stopped breathing,

isn't that a little more serious than just fainting?

[Richard Steele]

13. Sure is. If that's true, then this was way more than just a "fainting spell".

Of course, the whole "mouth to mouth" story may just
be BS- a little anecdote to warm up the crowd.

23. Adults seldom quit breathing

for no reason unless it is proceeded by a cardiac event.

2. Count your blessings, Poppy. It could have been Barbara.

21. Babs probably sent him on the golf outing to being with...

paybacks for his philandering, the dirty old coot.

3. Somehow an image

of Monty Burns and Mr Smithers comes to mind...

5. You mean someone saved his life on purpose?

Perhaps the funniest line I ever heard on "Wings."

7. The Lord of Darkness sent him back from the depths of hell to

to finnish his work.

10. Good God, that has to be one of the most idiotic things I've ever read.

Why do some "liberals" think all Republicans are gay? Seriously, most of them aren't. Stop trying to give them to the "gay community."

Comments like that are no better than Anne Coulter calling Edwards a "faggot." Something for you to think about.

8. "and had about six beautiful girls there"

:wtf: Why were there six beautiful girls there if this was a golf outing for two old men?

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ... Just EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[TahitiNut]

12. Caddies. Carrying their balls.

:spank:

[Laurier]

27. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of

attractive young women who would gladly hang out with a couple of old men.

[Canuckistanian]

28. Correction. Rich and Powerful old men

Attractive young women just don't hang out with any old men.

[Solly Mack]

11. there's a joke there...but I'll be nice

[grasswire]

17. obviously, all lies

Two elderly men and six beautiful girls playing golf? One old man giving another mouth-to-mouth for fainting?

Liar.

[zbdent]

19. Wait a minute ... a "Texan" collapsing in 94 degree heat?

Hmmm, that doesn't seem right ... remember, he has an apartment in Houston, I believe ...

Unless you're talking "A Connecticut Texan in King W's Country" ...

[4 t 4]

22. OOOOH Ughhhhh

Lips of the son of a natzi slave owner I wouldn't go near those.

[Catherine Vincent]

25. No. The Bush's live part-time in Houston in a very large home in the Memorial area.

But then he may have an apartment just to get away from Babs. :)

24. Too bad Terri Hatcher wasn't available to give him mouth to mouth

He'd have come to and patted her on the ass.
