Former first lady Barbara Bush keeps Mississippi crowd laughing

[Bluebear]

I believe this, actually. If this horrid woman started lecturing me about kindness and community involvement, I would have gone into convulsive laughter.


====

Former first lady Barbara Bush offered a light-hearted look at her own family today in a speech that was interwoven with words of advice for Pine Belt women.

“It’s important to get involved in your community and find a niche for yourself. And remember no act of kindness is too small,” she said in her final words to the audience of 800 who had gathered at the Hattiesburg Lake Terrace Convention Center for Forrest General Hospital’s annual Spirit of Women symposium.

But her witty comments on dealing with not only an ex-president as a husband but the current president as a son kept the crowd laughing.

“I didn’t know she was that mellow and comedic,” attendee Deborah Ferrell of Purvis said after the speech. “It was good to know she was humble for being in such a high position.”

1. You're much better than me, then...

I'd be throwing things...!

What a despiccable woman...

2. The words may be true but she doesn't know what she's saying.

Her beautiful mind hasn't had the experience of needing an act of kindness for the sake of survival or for that matter giving anything-ANYTHING-to help out another human being in need.

3. I didn't know she was that mellow and comedic...

it's amazing what a couple of Zanax and a stiff martini will do.

4. Humble? I've read that she's a high maintenance nightmare with an...

...acid tongue and a grossly overinflated sense of personal entitlement.

Hmm...I guess she's also a talented actress.

10. 'a high maintenance nightmare with an acid tongue'

That certainly is her rep in Kennebunkport.

5. A lighthearted look? At that family of criminals?

What a chuckle that must have been.

6. God, that picture again.

Mercy.

How stoned would I have to be, to actually go listen to her spew this crap?

[WI_DEM]

7. What? at her face?

[Seabiscuit]

8. I would have doubled up laughing once she hit the stage, before speaking.

It's the only healthy response to walking petrified dinosaur caca.

9. I think my byline signatue says it all

I recall reading about Alastair Cromwall (sp?) possible spawning the bad seed that is Babs Bush. What a horrid woman, indeed...

12. You are referring to Aleister Crowley,

notorious founder of the magical order called the OTO, (Ordo Templi Orientis) and considered by many to be a black magician. He was also a dope addict and a drunk (things that make you go hmmmmm...)

11. Call her "Barsil." Her in-laws did.

BFEE's nickname for Barbara BUSH: "Barsil". from Kitty KELLEY's "The Family", pp 72-3: "The rigorous prohibition on the sale of gasoline and tires forced the Walkers and Bushes to stop driving at Kennebunkport and resort to a horse-drawn wagon. The beast of burden was named Barsil. Prescott junior joked about seeing a strong resemblance between the heavy dray horse and George's girlfriend, so he called both Bar. After the horse died, the nickname stuck to the girlfriend."

Now, the last time I said something nasty about Nancy RAYGUN I was rebuked by 100% of the posters for being mean to "a former First Lady" who "took care of her sick husband" and who "behaved well at the funeral." Nevermind that if she could be transported to being younger again she would resume her evil ways. I *do* credit her for resisting the wingnuts who want to replace FDR with RAYGUN on the dime.

This time, I rebuke myself for spreading the defamation of the poor horse.

13. She looks like she did when she posed for the oatmeal package.

14. I think Quaker Oats has a Lawsuit againt her for Copy Rights.
