Earlier this month, President George H.W. Bush sent his regrets on not being able to attend the upcoming presidential Inauguration, according to a note that has circulated across several media outlets.

“My doctor says if I sit outside in January, it likely will put me six feet under. Same for Barbara,” Bush wrote. “So I guess we're stuck in Texas.”

1. remembering babs bush

Former first lady Barbara Bush said that New Orleans refugees being housed in the Houston Astrodome were "underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them." the chuckled

2. I'll never forget that comment

I'm no fan of that family

[Orrex]

3. Yes indeed.

Classy from top to bottom and in all directions.

[Vinca]

4. I'm not wishing ill on anyone, but January 20th wouldn't be the worst day to lead the news.

If you get my drift.

6. I get your drift

and concur

5. I think the old

bastard isn't having the retirement he had envisions all those years ago. I'm sure the ghost of JFK visit his sorry ass quiet frequently. That amongst many other atrocities he's guilty of.

I have no fucks to give him or her, sorry

[malaise]

9. Yep - same with Cheney

they live with their deeds - sometimes I think there is justice

[bdamomma]

17. It'd scare us to death if we knew what all was in there

7. Sad . . .

I'm a lifelong FDR Democrat.

God knows I miss old-line Republicans like GHWBush. He's a New England Brahman with a sense of noblesse oblige . . . Trump can't even pronounce those words.

Hell, at this point I'd be happy with Bush 2, Reagan, or Nixon.

[Ilsa]

15. Yeah, I hear you. At least their followers

Weren't grabbing pussy and claiming it's okay to do it now, among other things.

8. good excuse

sounds creative enough. maybe everyone should come up with a good excuse.

[llmart]

10. No excuses necessary.

If they had any self-respect/courage of their convictions, those person would just say "I'm not going because I hate the fucker."

Well, at least that's what I would say.

[former9thward]

12. So you think being in the ICU is fake?

[llmart]

20. I was replying to bora13...

where he/she states "maybe everyone". I wasn't specifically talking about the Bushes.

[n2doc]

11. I hope the liberal SCOTUS judges heed his words too n/t

[Javaman]

14. but then again...

if he died, he would completely dominate the press cycle and upstage the orange menace.

[randome]

16. Trump: "I like people who don't listen to their doctors!"

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Precision and concision. That's the game.[/center][/font][hr]
