Barbara Bush speaks out on life

[Rose Siding]

Yesterday, Mommie Dearest spoke at the National Archives


In Bar's beautiful mind, she still lives at the White House:

On Jenna Bush's bridal shower and friendship: "Family and friends and faith are the most important things in your life and you should be building friendships. At our house now, the White House at this moment, Jenna has 10 girls at the house ... because we're having a shower for her tomorrow."

Damn, cake again?

On the difference between being wife of President George H.W. Bush and mother of President George W. Bush: "It hurts much more if your son's president. My husband ... he's in agony half the time."

No worries - I hear their health care coverage is fabulous.

"You hear people say things that are untrue and unfair. It really hurts. George W. doesn't watch the press. He'll call us ... (and say) 'I hear the TV, turn it off.'"

Bubble? What bubble? No self-respecting cult leader Dubya allows the family any contact with the outside world. Is that so wrong?

On why she focused on literacy programs during her years in the White House: "I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial, that would not really cost the government a lot of money."

"I just decided if everybody could read write and comprehend, so many our problems ... could be solved. ... Thirty% of our children drop out of high school. ... It's terrible."

Right! No reason literacy should cost the government any money duh. Thank goodness she cleaned up that whole mess.

Now, can you guess which government expenses she absolutely adores? Perhaps the most outrageous remark recorded from this interview:

On former leaders in other countries: "We treat our former presidents much better than other countries...... It's astonishing to me, the British, the day of the election, they're out and they don't have help. They're just gone. ... We're so generous in our country."

Hear it? Though she is undoubtedly blind to myriad societal woes, Bar did just admit that at least she knows the drop-out rate. But what astonishes her? What rattles her to her cold conservative heart? She's astonished by the spectre of her own filthy rich self not receiving "help" from our "generous" country.

What is wrong with her?
