Roger Stone Disses Barbara Bush as a Nasty Drunk on News of Her Death

Trump political consigliere Roger Stone unloaded on Barbara Bush in an Instagram post on Tuesday evening just hours after her death. There, Stone wrote that the former first lady was a “nasty drunk” and posted a quote from him suggesting that if you lit her body on fire it would “burn for three days.”

“Barbara Bush was a nasty drunk. When it came to drinking she made Betty Ford look like Carrie Nation #blottoBabs,” said Stone. “Barbara Bush drank so much booze, if they cremated her … her body would burn for three days.”

The former first lady died last night after several years in failing health. She was 92.

“She said far worse things about me,” Stone told TheWrap. “Barbara Bush was a vindictive, entitled, mean spirited woman. May she rest in peace.”

Stone was banned from Twitter last year over a series of expletive-ridden tweets aimed at a number of media personalities. He has increasingly moved his most fiery content to Instagram, where he remains in good standing — for now.

was 96 in February - she's perfectly lucid but less mobile - they started drinking Bloody Marys around 10.00am and moved up to Scotch by afternoon. Those who are still alive in their group and many below still drink. Dad's last remaining sister died last year at 97. Many of them drank way more than their husbands.

NOT, of course.

That said, I will never forget Barbara Bush’s remarks before the illegal invasion of Iraq:

“Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”

She said some other things that are as disgusting, but this one sticks with me. It reveals the low quality of her soul.

Of course, Roger Stone makes her look like a saint.

Suddenly everyone, especially on tv, elevates them to saintly status. No mention of the god awful things like that that she said. (The Astro dome comment about poor people after Katrina also. )

Just be honest. She was very flawed, is it so disrespectful to say that?

bring up the Katrina comment or the other comments that are heavily circulated around here. Is that what you'd like?

This observation of yours..."she was flawed"....um doesn't that go without saying...she was a human being.
That "was flawed" then should be included with every eulogy every for everybody.

This is just silly.

just because a person dies, that doesn't mean they automatically become saints. In addition people like Bush have a higher responsibility to the poor and voiceless because of their positions of authority and or social standing and economic status
