Jesus, no wonder the Bush Family is so twisted . . . among other reasons.

Bush said his mother showed him fetus after her miscarriage . . .

(Ewwwwwww!)

George W. Bush's pro-life stance solidified when he was a teenager in Texas -- after his mother suffered a devastating miscarriage and showed him the fetus in a jar, the former president said in an extraordinary interview that airs tonight.

"She said to her teenage kid, 'Here's the fetus,' " the shockingly candid Bush told NBC's Matt Lauer, gesturing as if he were holding the jar during the TV chat, a DVD of which The Post exclusively obtained.

"There's no question that affected me, a philosophy that we should respect life," said the former president, who had to drive his distraught mother to the hospital at the time.


"I never expected to see the remains of the fetus, which she had saved in a jar to bring to the hospital," Bush writes in his new book, "Decision Points," in an excerpt Lauer read during the interview

1. Doesn't sound out of character for Babs, but still...

:puke:

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCKETY FUCK?!

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Sadly, that family's problems started so far back that it would take an archaeologist to find the

source.
One of the theories of pres shit-for-brains symptoms is that his mother drank like a fish when she was pregnant with him.. ergo: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome..among other things.

[trusty elf]

I think it may have been found....

:shrug:

[BrklynLiberal]

38. BWAAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks for that great laugh....and...I would bet you are 100% correct!!

[HopeHoops]

3. Are you sure that fetus didn't grow up to be the shrub?

He's a sick puppy, even without the perpetual drinking.

[zeemike]

4. Wow...I knew they were fucked up but still

Why would a mother do that to her son?

[tabatha]

5. respect life?

Yeah, that's what he did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, pollution, suppressing global warming reports? Yeah, plenty of evidence that he actually did NOT respect life.

[HughBeaumont]

7. Not to mention those who took their own lives as a result of his party's bozo economics.

Financial ruin is responsible for a lot of personal, marital and mental health issues.

[JDPriestly]

6. I just don't believe that story. Sorry, but it does not ring true to me at all.

[Hannah Bell]

45. those aren't cross references, they're all pr for his book

x-ref would be some mention of this incident before georgie decided to rehabilitate himself via this book

[monmouth]

9. Me neither...n/t

[seabeyond]

12. one repg brought their dead baby home to cuddle. people do weird stuff. nt

[City Lights]

16. Rick man-on-dog Santorum, IIRC.

Freaking weirdos. :scared:

[seabeyond]

21. yep. couldnt recall the name. not to mention the catholic and fundies that have pictures up

and leaflets of aborted babies sittin on tables and given to kid to hand out....

my kid at about 8 read a bumpersticker about not killing babies. he was all for not killing babies. a bet appalled it was actually an issue, that people killed babies. i had to discuss a little with him, totally not age appropriate

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Rick Santorum did the same thing

He wrote about it in his bio. He and his wife brought the fetus home so their children could bond with their sibling.

[Blasphemer]

46. I agree. Besides, Babs is pro-choice

So IF it happened, I would imagine her intention was to show him the reality of death, not to make any statement about life.

[seabeyond]

10. papa also used to use the boys for target practice with bb gun. instill that

manly man bullshit.

[City Lights]

11. Sounds like Junior is hallucinating again.

If not, :wtf:

:wow:

[Dogmudgeon]

13. Did I just read that?

Yes, I think I did.

My descent into reality thus continues.

--d!

[sammytko]

14. I think its possible, the oldest child is often treated as an equal

My oldest sister hated this. My mother told her all kinds of stuff. Wasn't that man - the creepy father - can't even say his name - gone a lot? Quaker Oats probably drank a lot and spilled all kinds of stuff to the shrub. Maybe creepy father wasn't even the father, but some dude she picked up at the country club

[dgibby]

20. The older her gets, the more Shrub looks like Pat Robertson.

Coincidence? :shrug: :rofl:

[mysticalchick]

15. That totally reminds me of an Intervention episode

where a guy was SOO SO SO messed up because his mother KEPT her miscarried fetuses (feti?) in a jar in the closet.

Lord have mercy. That is just so wrong on so many levels.

That is one fucked up family. (the Bushes and that one on Intervention)

[de novo]

17. OMG!!! That is terrifying!

There was almost another bush sibling!

[dgibby]

22. They also had a child who died wih leukemia.

A little girl named Robin. She was next in age to Shrub, just went to the hospital, didn't come back. No explanation given to little Georgie, so the story goes. If true, it must have been frightening to a small child to lose a sibling and not know why.

I think being raised by BB would be akin to being raised by a Wire Monkey Mother. You might get fed physically, but you probably didn't get nurtured.

[mstinamotorcity]

18. Dubya wants

to use the childhood stereotype Jenny Jones Phil Donahue approach to his character. My grown ass daughter does it to this day. Oh you treated by brothers and sister with more attention than you did me(not true), this happened to me and that affected my childhood. And it would be something like seeing a mouse in a cat's mouth running cross the yard. She is a Drama star. Spoiled and wants everything to be about her. Always have since she was a little girl. Dubya is the same way. Only Republican rich. He is looking for the connection of readers to sell books not accurate Historical facts just embellished lies. He has been doing this since we have been introduced to Dubya. To believe anything now, would be against my religion of telling the truth.

24. my middle brother reminds me of bush character. dont know if it is lifelong drinking

or narcissistic personality. being the middle, i found out parents always went a step beyond for him so he wouldn't have middle kid syndrome. was never enough. older brother and i never paid attention. he paid attention to everything. 50 yrs old and the stories (fabrication, lies) he tells about his childhood is amazing.

[mstinamotorcity]

29. Its amazing

what we see as children,we look at as kids with minimal understanding of life. Its like the first day of kindergarten. When you walk into the school for the first time and look around you are scared and a little nervous because the adventure of venturing off from your safe home surroundings seem a little intimidating. You see the other kids and they look so big. The desk barely let you touch the floor with your feet. Usually once the child is there for a few days they are okay. But after you become an adult and go back to your child hood school,you look at the desk,and can't remember how you ever fit into such a little seat. The school seems much smaller than you remember. Perception. This is what Dubya wants to do with his book create a perception of what kind of childhood you think he had. But if your family can buy you the Presidency and help you steal an election, You KNOW what kind of child hood he HAD!!!!!!

[byrok]

26. Are you actually

comparing your own daughter to GB?

:wtf:

[mstinamotorcity]

27. No just comparing the

oh you don't understand me because of my childhood,I had it so rough,and nobody understands what I going through cry baby attitude. Look my daughter didn't have all of the so-called bad things happen to her. She started making excuses for some things she did not follow through on. No ones fault but hers. And how does this not sound familiar?? Dubya has been a little chump with mommy and daddy's blessing. On the other hand my daughter has been told to get over herself. Cat's eat mice everyday its in their nature to hunt prey. No Comparison.

[Hepburn]

19. Wow...

...that is sick...totally sick.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. OMG she pulled a Santorum!

Maybe this is where Sick Rick got the idea.

These people are sick, evil, twisted beings.

[LynneSin]

28. Seems to be a right-wing thingie - Santorum did it to his kids too

:scared:

[blm]

30. Solidified as a teenager, my ass. He forced a young girlfriend to have an abortion.

Another hushed up operation for the Bush family.

[seabeyond]

32. that is true. forgot about that. there is so much we forget so much with bush. just cant remember

it all.

laura was always pro abortion. i always suspected bush didnt think twice about it until he reivented himself for christian coalition

[Major Hogwash]

34. Shrub is a pathological liar. He thinks people will believe whatever he says.

He's more irrelevant now than Sarah Palin.

[fascisthunter]

31. just a little over board there pro-lifer Barbara

[Major Hogwash]

33. I think Shrub made that up, to appease the Christian fundies that he didn't use nukes,

To cause Armageddon to begin.
Now, they have no jobs, no credit cards, no homes, and they are bitter.

Waiting for the mother ship that never came.

[MrsMatt]

35. Not to defend Barbara, because what she did

was reprehensible (if it indeed happened), but perhaps she in shock when she did it.

People sometimes do and say things that they wouldn't do normally when they are suffering under severe emotional distress.

[Myrina]

36. ... then why was GHW Pro Choice until he became the VP candidate?

:shrug:

[olegramps]

37. My God, what a dysfunctional family.

Barbara the Beast and the Fetus in the Jaw. Sounds like the title of a horror movie.

[Arugula Latte]

39. "And to show how much I respect life, I murdered & mutilated tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis"

[kskiska]

40. Bar herself is not pro-life

She and Poppy supported Planned Parenthood for years - until he was chosen as Ronnie's VP.

[11 Bravo]

41. The bug-eyed lush and pRick Sphinctorum. Yeah, that figures.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

42. Yeah the Quaker Oats guy really fucked Jr. up. nt

[musette_sf]

43. I think he made this up

1. Barbara The Elder was known to be pro-choice, only toning it down when it became a job requirement for her to do so.

2. Completely unbelievable. If Babs kept the death of his little sister from young Georgie, it just doesn't follow that she'd save a miscarriage in a jar and show it off to the male family members.

[no_hypocrisy]

44. One of two ways to confirm or deny that story.

1. He's supposed to talk about it tonight during the interview with Matt Lauer.
or
2. Go to the bookstore and see if you can find it in his book.

Now, just because he wrote it and it was published doesn't make it true. But he'll have to answer to it eventually.
