[Cassandra]

Or is it that Babs is offensive?

"Barbara Bush is allegedly TICKED off at Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Andy Card, nearly all of them -- except Karen Hughes -- for how her boy is faring in the hearts and minds of Americans.

The matriarch of the Bush clan is colder than North Pole ice right now to those around her son who she thinks have undermined him. I'll tell who my sources are if Patrick Fitzgerald gives a call and makes me -- but the sources are very close to Poppa Bush (41), who has been traveling a bit with some of his old entourage, including Brent Scowcroft and others of the first Bush regime.

While TWN has been able to confirm that Laura Bush's mother-in-law wants to do more than put coal in the stockings of the Vice President and the other top handlers of her son's White House, we have not been able to confirm a slightly stronger bit of the rumor, which is that Barbara -- not Laura -- was planning to call on Nancy Reagan just to get a refresher lesson on how she took on and kicked out then Chief-of-Staff Donald Regan. (I embellish here; Barbara Bush is not going to take lessons from Nancy, it just sounded good. My source told me that Barbara was about to "pull a Nancy Reagan" on these attendants.)

Cheney may be tougher to dump than Don Regan, but then again, Barbara Bush is one of those wonders of nature (we hear) who knows no limits and can easily surge beyond category 5 hurricane winds."

No sacrifice is too great for Georgy-Porgy!

1. Look out now

we're talking REAL power. Those guys won't know what hit them.

2. No wonder * is so screwed up. His mother taught him he's always right

and the rest of the world is wrong.

[MsAnthropy]

3. and someone will ALWAYS rescue him!

and he never has to be accountable for anything because it's always someone else's fault.

5. And in Al Franken's book,

he says that he's been told that Barbara loves * the most because he takes after her. Brrr.

"Bush Gossip - Babs is offensive"?

[Double T]

6. HOLY SH_T !!!!!!!!!! The WH is about to be invaded by that horrible......

7. Babs and Cheney cage fight!

8. Sheeeiiiittt....

14. And the winner takes on Rove in a steel cage match. eom

9. Babs is offensive. NT

[unpossibles]

10. hmm. Maybe she's the real inside leak...

just kidding. but it would be funny if she had Poppy dig, and they found something to get Rove, et al convicted.

[PRETZEL]

11. having the old man find dirt on Rove would be little more than an errand,

it wouldn't take that long.

This is just as much her trying to save the family name as it is trying to protect her son.

[unpossibles]

18. true

and the fact that any real dirt trail would lead right back to Poppy, so I don't see him actually doing this...

[VaYallaDawg]

12. She'll show 'em what a REAL terra-ist is!!!

13. Mommy To The Rescue; Hughes, Rice Were His Stand-Ins

I guess it's serious enough to bring the real thing. "Waaaahhhhh!!! Mommmmmmmyyyyyy!!!!! You love me, right????"

[arewenotdemo]

17. You know, the fact that he only listens to the women

in the entourage argues strongly that that is the case.

Almost makes makes one wonder whether an intelligent woman could have redirected Chimp's focus...provided the building blocks, Legos...something.

[atommom]

15. His low approval rating couldn't possibly be his own fault.

After all, he takes after Mommy! :scared:
