1. Harsh, but true...

something slipped a gear in this kid's head.

Too many head injuries damage the hippocampus, did you know that? (Along with illicit drugs)

[knowbody0]

2. i understand no one considered comforting him

after her death, that babs was out to lunch for a couple of years

[liberalhistorian]

4. Now, why would she waste

her "beautiful mind" over something like that? :sarcasm: :mad: :mad:

[Sapphire Blue]

20. Resulting in Attachment Disorder?

3. Well, considering that Babs played golf the day

after Robin died and Georgie boy didn't know his sister was sick until after she died, what do you expect?

He is a sociopath.

6. Ignoring human tragedy is the only way they know how to deal with it..

i'm sure there's an 11th commandment somewhere in the bible that they turn to for such situations:

THOU SHALT IGNORE THY NEIGHBOR'S SUFFERING

[Arugula Latte]

10. Are you serious?

Any mother who does that is seriously inhuman. SHE LOST HER CHILD!! Any human mother would have been inconsolable.

But, I guess she didn't want to bother her beautiful mind and all. :grr:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Of course, why bother her beautiful mind with the death of

her own child? It would be unseemly. Better to do a chin up, pip pip thing and head to the Greenwich Golf Course....whites only, you do know, right?

18. Notice the doll in the second pic?

[Sapphire Blue]

17. Georgie learned his mother's lessons well.

5. God, he was almost cute as a kid.

What happened to him?

I didn't know he had a sister that died. I suppose I have one small iota of compassion for him now, but I bet it won't last one full day.

[bushisanidiot]

8. Charles Manson was probably cute as a kit too, but look how he turned out

.

[CatBoreal]

11. I read Barbara's story about Robin in...

...Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul a few years ago. It was probably the most cold, unfeeling, disgusting thing I've ever read.

14. Stories about Babs Bush reminds me of stories about my grandmother.

I heard a lot of those during and after my grandfather's funeral. One of her kids died, too, and she was apparently just as cold about it. It's a wonder my family is as half sane as we are. :crazy:

[Sapphire Blue]

16. In a recent statement re Cindy Sheehan & Gold Star Families, he said...

... that he felt for those who have lost loved ones... and that he had never lost anyone close to him... seems that he forgot that he lost a baby sister.

[Sapphire Blue]

22. Robin died of leukemia... she was 3 years old; George was 7.

[greekspeak]

7. Shrub in Pic 1 looks like Little Ricky from I Love Lucy

Sorry to the real Little Ricky. I read someplace that the real Little Ricky (the actor not Desi Jr.) grew up and became a part of a RW Christian ballet company in Jackson, MS. I wonder how he is doing in this Katrina mess?

[puddycat]

9. Even Hitler was a cute kid at one time. n/t

[merbex]

12. Really, THE only reason I feel sorry for him

and for US because he never got help dealing with his sister's death

[growlypants]

15. I didnt know Bu$h grew up in Compton.

"STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON"

[qanda]

19. It has to be tragic to lose a sibling when you're young

My kids fight like cats and dogs, but the almost fall apart at the mere thought that something could ever happen to their sibling. If George didn't get the proper help and counseling after that, it may be the reason why he is a sociopath.

[Sapphire Blue]

21. And even more tragic to be ignored.

Now, half a century later, we have a sociopathic president of the US... now watch this drive....
