is finally being honest...IDK, when she said she wouldn't waste "her beautiful mind" worrying about
war atrocities, she was being honest too. I doubt she has "a beautiful mind" though.

She raised some atrocious children, and many Americans have suffered due to their actions. One of her sons started a war based on lies that cost over 4,000 American troops their lives, while others returned physically maimed and/or mentally disturbed. Of course, that son evaded serving his country when it was his time, but apparently had no reservations about sending others to do a job he wouldn't do.

Another son scammed thousands out of their hard earned money when his Silverado Savings crashed in the eighties. He packed up and snuck out of town under cover of darkness, leaving many financially devastated, and putting American taxpayers on the hook for $1.6 billion in losses.

Yet another son, Jeb, defaulted on a $4+ million loan, again sticking taxpayers with the bill.

The Bush family is a dreadful, criminal one. Barbara Bush is right: we HAVE had enough Bushes. Forever.

Because someone from the Bush crime family said something that I agree with. I usually expect Mike Malloy to say something like this.

She knows the evil they have brought upon this world (she has no problem with it). She also knows Democrats will be relentless in their truthful attacks. She cannot bear to see this happen to another one of her horrid children.

i dont want a political family dynasty from ANY family, period. Not Bushes, not Clintons, not Kennedys, not Ron/Rand Pauls

An early rock song “What you see is what you get “does not apply in today’s culture, especially the mainstream media presentations. The psychic flux in our politically new millennium has changes that are not just faster but evolves in a much more extensional way. I adore the comment by a previous person here implied America endured a Bush Faux presidency.

My personal opinion is a barrel of laughter with the same thought if this meant that America is enduring a Fox News presidency Allah Bush. So funny but no it is not. There is room for a Gitmo prison to be attached behind the Bush library. A small room in the new Gitmo reserved for the Bush family to confess to Allah for their sins.

The real kicker is the connections of Fox News with the Arabs that own fifty percent of the news station while Richard Murdock owns the other half. It baffles me to know half of America is getting punked by foreign money. Now, especially with this Marathon bombing stuff causing fear and uncertainty.

This has to be an intellectual cutie by the ringer’s leaders of terror right or left. Imagine the implication news wise America is in a perpetual Marathon of Terror by pressure cooker bombs from home depot.

Oh my, oh my do we do! Gee, it seems anyone can go the store and buy this stuff to make bombs. Regular kitchen stuff is all you need. Sheesh seems just about every American has to be placed on the terror watch list. Yikes.

So with a laugh and a giggle now what do we do? So what to do in a war? Use only what will not stand out as bomb making stuff. Review all chemicals that will relate to possible terror subsidiaries, like anything connected to mercenaries, the Bin laden/Bush family or the Cheney torture family.
