Spokesman for 85-Year-Old Former President Says Younger Bush Will Represent Family

(CBS/ AP) The elder President George Bush will not be attending Sen. Edward Kennedy's funeral.

A spokesman for Mr. Bush said Friday that he and his wife, Barbara, decided not to attend Kennedy's funeral after learning their son, former President George W. Bush, would attend.

Jim McGrath says the 85-year-old Mr. Bush feels his son's presence would "amply and well represent" the family Saturday.

The senior Bush's staff is unsure of how the word got out that he'd be at the funeral because, in the words of a source, "that was never the case." Asked if the senior Bush's health is OK, the source said, "rest assured all is well," reports CBS News White House correspondent Peter Maer. Following their long tradition, George and Barbara Bush are spending the summer at Kennebunkport, Maine.

and fuckess.... I guess he feels guilty for his role in the murder of Ted's brother, huh?

could not say

"It was a beautiful day, lying on that grassy knoll......"

but noooo. . . they couldn't possibly make any effort to show a little respect to a great contemporary. They truly, deeply suck. When Bush I dies, there will be no people lining the streets because of what he has contributed to their lives. Of that, he is envious. Maybe it will make him re-evaluate his past deeds. . . Nah! He and Barbara, his "beautiful bride" (gag), will remain small-minded and classless for the rest of their days.

said Poppy is "too old" to go. Now, I realize at his age a person's health can change suddenly, but he did jump out of an airplane a few months ago & Jimmy Carter is the same age and traveling further.

I'm thinking it's a guilty conscience and, after his babbling at Ford's funeral, there's probably concern that he might completely crack at Ted's funeral and finally admit his guilt.

Maybe the Kennedy family made it clear he wasn't welcome. Too bad they couldn't tell Dimson to stay away as well.

Good grief, they are in Maine and can't get to Boston?

wake up to true evil -- !!!

maybe it's not a guilty conscience as much as it is the fear of coming face to face with God before much more time passes and he has to explain himself.

People like the Bush family really make me hope there is divine justice or karma - whatever you want to call it.

we're talking reincarnation as a rock here

we used to hitch it, right down 95 to go clubbing in Boston. Two-hour drive.

I'm glad they're not going. I'd rather not have them there. As it stands, I'm repulsed by the idea of their mutant fucking spawn being there with his Xanax Queen wife............................

He's going to be having a funeral pretty soon, statistically speaking, and nobody is going to line up to mourn him or any of his sons.

oh well.

You got a problem with Poppy Bush not attending a funeral?

There's nothing hateful in the OP............

why do these evil bastards live so damn long????

At least Teddy will be spared the knowledge that that little weasel Junior will be attending.

and disrespectful, imho. But it says more about GHW Bush's character than anything else.

ending with a public announcement that Dubya is going to attend.

Bush Sr.'s health is failing, & he doesn't want it publicly known. Or maybe Babs is in poor health.

The Bush family has always been trash.

Poppy Bush put out a statement on behalf of him and his son when informed of Teddy's passing?

The classless fucks couldn't even make individual statements?

My god, they're filth, they really, really are.

Aw, fuck 'em. We're still here...................

Not a lot of public speaking engagements lately.

can't attend a Senator's funeral. WHAT A POS!

Classless old fuck at 85 can jump, but not attend the funeral of one of the greatest senators ever.

You don't have to look far to find Poopy's prints on these crimes.

But RFK too? Got a link?

He is the epitome of all they hold dear.

The Bushes continue to prove that money can't buy class, nor common decency. They have always been trash, and that will never, ever change.

:thumbsdown: to the entire fucking klan.

...for inflicting that entire family on our country.

That is who they are.

Wasn't too into their back catalog. Hated the new stuff. Won't miss 'em now. Their last guitarist sucked and their bass player could never hold a groove down. Square, man!

ENCORE! ENCORE!



Great tee-shirts, buttons and such at
Laugh City!


President Evil Online
has risen from the grave!

He doesn't want to be seen in public with his awol coward son.

will the "big Dick " (Cheny) be there ?

If I were part of Kennedy's family, I'd ask Cheney to leave if he showed up.

n/t

But nothing would suprise me with these spooks & weird-os.

sitting on a beach somewhere, no doubt

The Bushes are so two-faced. They act so sweet and caring so long as the cameras are rolling.

Bush, Sr. is probably still mad at Kennedy for ridiculing him with his "Where Was George?" speech at the '88 Democratic convention.

long memories

Yeah, it was. I was so mad at Dukakis for not using that quote during the campaign....on commercials, bumper stickers, and commercials. Dukakis ran an atrocious campaign.

Sorry--I meant to say "on commercials, bumper stickers, and buttons."

and he can't show some respect for Ted Kennedy? Another difference in the Bush vs. Kennedy clan. The Bushes have no class.

Very touching, Poppy.

Elder Bush Sitting Out Kennedy Funeral, August 28, 2009






This, without a shred of doubt, exemplifies the character of this family.

Fuckface, his mutant spawn, really does "amply and well represent" their crowd. He's stupid, mean, uneducable, insensitive, irresponsible, a murderer, a liar, a cheat, a failure, and the worst President who was never legally elected.

I'd say he's probably the best that bunch of decency-challenged fuckers can produce, and as far as I'm concerned, the fewer Bushes anywhere near DC, the better. They're vile, they're filth, and, in a situation like this, they're an embarrassment to all of us, to our entire country..................................

and I'm deadly serious. Think of how overworked the Secret Service will be!

So, there will be a Turd in the poteen, eh? At least he isn't family. Or Catholic.

disrespectful pigs.

:shrug:

Former presidents Ford & Nixon both attended Hubert Humphrey's funeral. (As well as Carter who was president at the time.)

Most of Congress flew in for that event and it was in January and the temperature was brutally (and stereotypically) cold.
I recall being so relieved that I was sure I was near death with influenza the day before HHH's funeral when as it gave me the only socially acceptable excuse not to go over to the State Capital with a bunch of DFLers and stand outside forever waiting for a chance to walk past his casket.

and who attended.

was a major aspect of Nixon leaving seclusion.

Does he not want to be seen in the same place as the little bastard?

the kennedy family will be remembered for the good they have done for our country.

the bush family will be remembered for the evil they have done.

otherwise the most plausible explanation is that it's an intentional slight.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

....

:puke: - just doesn't say enough.

:mad:

She makes me as sick as her rotten progeny do.

The smirking chimp will be bad enough.

every one hates them anyway why do you care if they dont come?

of someone of Ted Kennedy's stature. He was in the Senate for 47 years. He NEVER stopped fighting for the underprivileged. He was a real hero.

It doesn't matter that we don't like GHWB, it the proper thing for him to do.

I'll bet you a million dollars if some fuck like Lindsey Graham or Orrin Hatch kicks, he'll be at that funeral.

...when H.W. gets his shovel full of dirt? Scheduling problems will be vacationing with the wife. Unavoidable.

The 2 memos are very interesting,one from the FBI and another from U.S. Government.

The OCTOPUS in Dallas: Poppy involved in JFK Assassination


George Herbert Walker Bush played some role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The FBI says George H.W. Bush was in Dallas that terrible day.

Old Octafish hasn’t lost his marbles or downloaded something from Karl Rove’s Office of Disinformation. What I write is what the official government record shows.

FBI memos from within MINUTES of the assassination chronicle what “George H.W. Bush, President of Zapata Off-Shore Drilling Company” called the FBI to report “hearsay” that someone wanted to kill President Kennedy.

The problem: Bush reported his suspicions just minutes after JFK was dead. If he cared to stop the assassination, Bush would have reported the threat immediately. Why didn’t Bush say something sooner?



In the following FBI memo, by J Edgar Hoover and from a week after the assassination, states a “Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency” reports that the anti-Castro (and largely anti-JFK) Cuban exile community in Miami said the assassination represents a “great loss” to the US and Latin America. The pro-Castro community, Bush apparently, says they “regret” the assassination.

Oh, look. An alibi.

You and Babs are despicable!

Asshole

Didn't they go golfing right after their daughter's funeral?

Because he's rotten to the core, don' cha know?

Now . . . what about Cheney?

Tonight I watched something where Orrin Hatch spoke at a remembrance for Ted Kennedy . . .
that made me uneasy -- yuck!

ANYONE here mad that these murderous sons a bitches aren't showing up? I'd have asked H.W. not to come if I was a Kennedy. Same goes for Dim Son.

Shit, I wouldn't want Hatch or McCain their either - they're horrible senators and disgusting men.

Hmmmm...what a Bush.

Is he makes it sound like they are just going through the motions and don't really respect, admire or love Teddy. I can just see Bush family getting together and saying something 'well it would look bad if we don't show so at least one of has to go. Hell junior we're on vacation so you go'. So they are going to fulfill their social obligation not to honor Teddy.

Dan Quayle will be filling in...
