1. No, but I wouldn't mind seeing her health insurance fail
not that it would really make any difference to her though.

22. Same here
I would like her to get well, but wealthy politicians have no clue what it is like for the rest of us wrt healthcare. Watching her get the same healthcare as a single parent making 25k a year would be interesting.

3. I'll be brutally honest - I could care less
but I sure don't want to go through weeks of the talking heads giving us every detail of her life and trying to convince us she was a saint.
Another worshipthon like went on for Raygun and I may be forced to destroy some TVs.

4. Barbara Bush on Katrina victims
"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

6. That was the first thing I thought of when thinking of her. While
I don't wish illness on anyone, it's hard to feel much when I know she cared nothing about folks that look just like me.

7. I wish her an apt recovery
considering the kind of compassionate person she is.

Your right, I cannot think of Barbara Bush without thinking about that comment.

11. Didn't she say in an interview shortly after katrina, "What do they
want? They gave em the stadium!" At which point, some gentleman swiftly escorted her away from the microphone. Typical.

35. The media should show a story on how poorly Katrina victims are STILL doing
instead of devoting headlines to Babs. It was the top story on The Today Show and GMA this morning. They are also about to show a press conference on her condition with the former Pres. Bush, Sr. to speak. What a bunch of crap.

12. "Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"
Edited on Wed Mar-04-09 10:47 PM by jenmito
HER words-not mine:

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," Barbara Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

19. I couldn't care less if she lives or dies
I am not going to bother my beautiful mind with her.

Our company is on the verge of serious financial reversal. We just found out today that our biggest customer (who owes us ALOT of money) is filing for bankruptcy. We will have to lay off people. We don't even know if we can keep the doors open. The dominoes are teetering. My husband has done nothing but work his ass off for 35 years and for what?

A pox on the entire Bush Crime Family. I wish I believed in hell so I could delight in them all burning there forever.

24. Any person's death diminishes us.
In terms of our losing their knowledge, their perspective, their love, their zest for life. And lets' just think of how much we would lose in all of those categories with the loss of Babs Bush.

There--brisk little exercise that--refreshed yet?

26. For what the Bush clan has done to America I hope she rots in hell.
The sooner that we are rid of that vicious old bitch the better. I have exactly as much compassion from the bitch as she has for all the people that suffer from Katrina.

56. It's complicated
Really, it's a mix and match set


No heart





No courage





No brain





No home






...and the little son of a bitch who can't talk.





But, of course, most of these lables are entirely interchangeable. The real point is, most of 'em belong in Oz.


You know which Oz I'm talking about.

that button that Babs is wearing looks like it says F U ALL. Is that edited, or is it just an unfortunate acronym?

Yes, go ahead and bash me but wishing harm on Mrs Bush like many are here is no better than anything Rush does. This thread looks like something hateful from freerepublic.

37. There are a lot of eye for an eye simpletons here who seem to
think feeling sympathy and compassion for the frailty of another human only applies to people who "deserve" it.Ceaselessly hoping your enemy feels great pain is moronic and not a democratic principle.

but they feel uniquely qualified to determine who deserves compassion.

to extend "compassion" to all despite monstrous actions

Dead men (and women) do no more mischief. Perhaps simple, but also irrefutable.

Edited on Thu Mar-05-09 08:54 PM by John Kerry VonErich
This is too much Roe Sham Bow for me. And it's gonna get more heavy if a progressive, no matter who it is as long as that person made a name, suffers tragedy. Insults turn more vile insults, then turns into grave dancing, then turns into grave pissing, then turns casket tipping, and then turns into grave robbing (just thinking of the most vile insult to the dead).Just give a prayer to Barbara's health and then leave the hell enough alone.
