Glenn Beck Declares War On The Bushes
Glenn Beck launched an unprecedented verbal assault on former Barbara Bush in response to the former First Lady's comments regarding Sarah Palin. In the audio segment to the left from Beck's radio show, Beck goes after Barbara Bush based on her looks in response to what he called "insulting" comments. The "really insulting" comments in question came from an interview Bush gave to Larry King. When asked about Sarah Palin, Barbara Bush said she was "beautiful" and that she hopes Palin "stays in Alaska." Some saw that comment as signal that Bush does not believe Palin should run for president.

......


Beck then goes on to call Barbara Bush the "oatmeal box lady." Evidently it is not acceptable for Bush to comment on Palin's looks in a positive way but completely acceptable for Beck to negatively comment on the looks of the former First Lady.

This should get interesting.

20. 'Cause we're better at insulting scabrous hateful harridans
"Oatmeal box lady" is closer to a compliment than she deserves. Fuck her and her beautiful, empty mind.

9. I'm conflicted
Sure, Barbara Senior is one of the worst human beings to ever besmirch the planet. And yet, if he keeps going at this, Beck is going to end up getting babs some sympathy points, which will dovetail nicely with Junior's image rehab quest. A pox on Beck and the harpy.

14. This is just an easy target for beck. Bush was a failure we all know it. Jeb probably won't run
there's very little down side to this for beck unless H.W. Bush uses his connections to get beck fired from faux.

19. ...because he's stalking for Mitt Romney (fellow Mormon) & Beck knows Rove wants Jeb.
This gives Beck a chance to hit at the Bushes "in defense" of Palin, when the real target is Karl Rove and Jeb Bush.

In any event, give Beck credit this one time: he knows how powerful the Bush clan is and how hard it will be to stop Karl's Jeb with the Bush machine behind him.

32. The first shots fired in a skirmish that foreshadows the coming battle.
I still say there is a coming civil war in the Republican Party that they will not know how to control.

22. It's one thing for US to compare Barbara Bush to the Quaker Oats dude
quite another for this megalomaniac with a megaphone to do it. Wanna bet that the BFEE will give Clown Blecch his comeuppance over this?

Her husband was the head of the CIA and President - he has people everywhere. Beck may come to regret this.

You are 100% correct on this. Bar has already sent the first message. The Calvary is on it's way for the Beck/Palin crowd.

27. I Would Add
I would add on the same Larry King show Bush Pere said it's hard to be critical of President Obama because he likes him so much and therefore didn't.

Should be interesting...

I can see the Bush Crime Clan along with the Carlyle Group now taking aim at Beck..... you don't mess with republican royalty. Whether it be through Murdoch or by direct elimination.....he may just have gone too far attacking Babs.

She has, no doubt, been responsible for many people being disappeared over the decades. Beck is out of his league here.
