I hesitate to dignify any of the so called magazine's vile content by cut / paste, however, today's feature of Parade (which used to be a decent Sunday supplement to most newspapers) was right over the damn edge. The MSM demonstrates how we should glorify these criminals by accounting tender moments with them? Everyone should develop amnesia by now? Here's one more reason to say, "awww"? I wanted to hurl coffee through my nose.
Anyone who saw or read this fish wrap knows that the Parade has become a very downsized few pages of increasingly petty content, and today, it has been topped with The their latest sycophantic piece with the Bush Crime Family. It features Pappy and George W's profile on the front cover. Inside is junior and mom's gazing photo and an hug photo after Pappy glorified the U.S. sky by jumping again
Babs in her walker and sonny boy in his presence spills an ignorant account of how HW Bush's parachute jump at age 90 is nothing more than what he wanted
dear old dad drifting from the sky.
This is a repeat stunt to maneuver him down after having performed it on his 85th birthday. Pappy, being "the man of his word", said he'd do it again, and we should care that he followed through his promise to do it at age 90. (I wonder how much we still pay for this?)
The cost of seeing these criminals talk about themselves or feature art is too costly already. Now this. Never mind about what they did to perpetuate wars of aggression or tearing about Iraq after murdering a million natives, nor what they did to anyone who served in our armed services.
The Bush's, including 90 year old Pappy should be living their days out after war criminal sentencing in the Hague.
These people disgust me, and the Parade magazine isn't fit to wad up and burn for firewood.

evidence of how much it's contents suck
NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- Advance Publications' M&A march continues with its auction of Parade Publications, whose Sunday news magazine has been a staple in papers around the country since 1941.
The auction, which was first reported by the New York Post, has attracted interest from Tribune Publishing (TPUB) and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Though those people wouldn't speculate on a price, they said the auction remains ongoing.
Private equity firms may also be interested in the publication, these people said.
Gannett Co.'s publishing arm has already walked away from the process one person familiar with the situation said. McLean, Va.-based Gannett is currently in the process of spinning off its publishing business, separating it from broadcast and digital.
New York-based Advance Publications and Parade, did not respond to requests for comment. Chicago's Tribune and Berkshire Hathaway, of Omaha, Neb., also did not respond to requests for comment.
Tribune, which operates more than 60 newspapers, may remain in the running, as might Warren Buffett's conglomerate, according to industry observers.
Advance Publications, from a peak of nearly $8 billion in revenue in 2007, declined to almost $6.7 billion in revenue last year, according to Forbes.
