Roger Stone knocks Barbara Bush: 'Her attack on me from beyond the grave required an answer'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Roger Stone a longtime friend and former adviser of President Trump, on Thursday accused the late First Lady Barbara Bush of lying about his work for George H.W. Bush’s presidential campaign in a column for The Spectator.

In the column, Stone defended comments he made last week defending Trump's criticism of Barbara Bush, saying “she’s dead and [Trump] is the president.”

“I always found Barbara to be vindictive, inebriated, self-important and rude. Her attack on me from beyond the grave required an answer,” he wrote. “I pointed out that, while she had set a countdown clock for the end of Trump’s presidency, she had died and Trump was still president.”

Stone's claim that Bush attacked him "from beyond the grave" stems from a recent USA Today report on the late first lady's diaries.

Stone said Bush wrongly wrote in her diary that she had him fired from her husband’s 1988 presidential campaign. He said he heard about the claim on MSNBC

“I was never hired for H.W. Bush’s 1988 campaign and never wanted to be,” Stone wrote.

Stone also took credit for the media strategy that led to Bush winning California in the election.

3. An attack "from beyond the grave" does not require an answer

because the person to whom the answer would be directed is in no position to receive it. If there's no afterlife the recipient would be oblivious; if there is, they don't give a crap anymore because they're enjoying hanging out with Jesus and the angels or whatever.

But in any event, Roger Stone is a complete douche, and probably one of the last people in the world who should call anyone else vindictive, inebriated, self-important and rude.

You got that right.

5. Where's the republican outrage machine's response to this?

If a Democrat said this about Barbara, they'd have their robotic minions on every station parroting the same outrage and disgust.

6. Fighting with dead people?

Seriously? Stone and Trump have no one else to fight with they have to fight with dead people? If it wasn't so stupid it would be funny.

8. There is no low to which they will not sink.

I cannot believe what we are witnessing.

7. Fucking snowflake!

9. It kills me that these douchebags play up this aphla male, hyper-masculine bullshit all the time.

If you're so incredibly sensitive that you feel the need to respond to a dead person, you are not in any way tough.

10. She's still dead, Rog. You're talking to a dead woman. You can't change her mind. You can't undo it.

You just can't keep your trap shut, can you.

11. I thought he was under a gag order.

Lock Him Up.

12. I'd pay big money to see zombie Bar leap from the grave and take care

of Stone. Sneering wasp pinhead.

13. They have such thin skin

This isn't the first dead republican they've had to get the last word in over...

[Cold War Spook]

14. "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

One of the best lines on SNL.
