Wonder how the masses will deal with Bush, Sr.'s passing?

[CatWoman]

I can't imagine him getting the same treatment as Reagan, but still, he's a Republican.

and as we all know, only Republicans were "great presidents". :eyes:

[thebigidea]

1. the only course of action would be a week long party

with NO RELIEF WHATSOEVER from my bad G.H.W.Bush impression...

[CatWoman]

4. ROFL!!!

Something to look forward to!! :hi:

[Servo300]

2. The death of any ex-President....

will bring extensive coverage.

[comsymp]

3. Gee thanks, Catwoman

Now somebody's going to post "Can't wait to find out" and we're going to have the Civility Police on this thread too.

[CatWoman]

6. The civility police can all kiss my ass

[comsymp]

7. In that case...

:evilgrin:

[CO Liberal]

5. Like Dorothy Parker

She was told that Calvin Coolidge had died. Her response: "How could they tell?"

:-)

8. Of all the Republican presidents in my lifetime,

he's got to be my favorite. Why? Everybody thought he was a wishywashy wimp. I also LOVED it when he always said "NO NEW TAXES" and then had to turn around and raise them! lol

He was easily mimicked on SNL which was so funny!

Aside from his policies, he was okay. lol

Nah, he was the best Republican president in my lifetime IMHO. (I was born in '64).

Too bad his son is the worst.

[mopaul]

9. I will................oh nevermind........

i'll cross that bush when it comes

[jokerman93]

24. didn't you mean...

You'll burn that Bush when you come to it???

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Bring out all the SNL-Dana Carvey videos !!

P-A-R-T-Y !!!

:party:

[CatWoman]

14. we're gonna stay the course.........not gonna do it..

[Indiana_Dem]

16. Yes! I loved it!

"not gonna do it, not gonna do it, not gonna do it! Read my lips!"

[catmandu57]

11. I wonder if we'll find out this fall

I don't think there's any love lost between sr. and jr.*

[ThomWV]

12. I, For One, Will Not Give A Rat's Ass

I'm sure there are others who will agree

[leftofthedial]

13. yawn

I imagine

He is best-remembered by Repukes as the guy who lied and raised taxes.

Now, if L'il George becomes full-on dictator, it will be "Reagan 2--just when you thought it was safe to turn on cable news again . . ."

[colonel odis]

15. my first thought is that no one will notice or much care.

but then i realize we'll be forced to watch bar' -- from whom george w. learned to be such a mean little shit -- wail and cry and talk about what a grand fella he is.

bleah

[Disturbed]

17. Bush 1 please stay alive....

at least until after the election.

It wouldn' be prudent at that juncture if you departed before
witnessing your idiot son lose, would it?

[yankeedem]

18. The best Puke president since Hoover

since he only had 1 term to f-up the country.

[WI_DEM]

19. somehow I don't see anybody getting too broken up

over Poppy. I doubt they will over the Chimp either. At Clinton's funeral you will see something that is lacking at Reagan's--the faces of people of color.

[cosmicdot]

20. it wouldn't be prudent to comment at this time ...

... re the man who invented UPS label scanning ... who said, "whatever" frequently indicating how much he cared about the people ... who used the White House to further organize the Carlyle and Blackstone Groups ... who pardoned the Iran-Contra criminals ...
ahhh, the memories ...

[TheCentepedeShoes]

21. Junior'll have him

embalmed like Lenin or Eva Peron and kept in a glass coffin in the Church of the Greater Georges. (I have GOT to stop drinking):eyes:

[Nlighten1]

22. I'm gonna throw a party.

Free beer for everyone!

[samhonk]

25. the day he was elected

A friend of mine was so distraught she came by my place and asked if I had anything to drink. I pointed out the nearly-full fifth of vodka in my fridge and she grabbed it and drained it in one pull. I've never seen anything like it.

I bet she'll show up to your party!

[Nlighten1]

27. Wow

That is some hard drinking. It sounds like she will celebrate the passing of the wimp.

[samhonk]

23. You mean there was ANOTHER Prez. Bush?

...that's about what I expect. He might get a bit more press than when Dan Quayle dies, but he never had the "star quality" and cult of personality Reagan did/does.

[Jim Warren]

26. We already have

bush 1 was really just reagan's third term, his actual passing will only be an addendum.
