Here comes Daddy again
I forgot what a whiner the old man is:

Booking it

Paul Sancya / AP

Speaking of protective parents, George H. W. Bush, the 41st president, made a call to Kitty Kelley’s publisher to try to stop a book that looks like it might be causing his son, the 43rd president, some embarrassment, says a source.

“Bush senior called Steve Rubin and told him not to bring out ‘The Family,’ ” according to a source, who says the call was placed on Nov. 11, 2002. “He told Rubin in no uncertain terms that the family did not want this book written and that the family would not cooperate.” A spokesman for the former president denied to The Scoop that such a call was ever made; a spokeswoman for Doubleday declined to comment.

Another source tells The Scoop that the president’s sister, Doro Bush, was also rooting against her family’s biographer. “There was an auction for a dinner with two authors, Kitty Kelley and Ron Suskind ,” says a source, who says that the proceeds went to benefit Ivymount School, which teaches children with learning disabilities. “Doro Bush was there representing the First Lady, who was on the board. But when the bidding got up to around $3,000, Doro started booing loudly and made a thumbs-down gesture. . . .It was inappropriate, to say the least. That money was going to charity.” Doro Bush couldn’t be reached for comment.

3. Doro Bush is DISGUSTING trash in her behavior. Remember when she joined
the freepers yelling "Get out of Cheney's house" outside the Gore home during the aborted recount?

She is pure trash.

5. She took part in that disgusting behavior?
They have no class.

The Bush* family, despite all their money and influence must be the laughing stock of the top 1% elite.
