100 yo woman wants to wring Bush's neck
Maine couple to mark 80th anniversary

March 29, 2007

LUBEC, Maine --Kathleen Tarbell "fell head over my stomach" for her husband Waldo when they met at a dance. They married in 1927, during Calvin Coolidge's presidency. This weekend, they'll celebrate their 80th anniversary.
...

Kathleen has been a Democrat her entire adult life. Waldo, originally a Republican, turned Democrat. "She converted me," he said.

They remain up to speed on current events. Kathleen reads the newspaper every day, and she thinks the war in Iraq is "scandalous."

"Somebody ought to take Bush and wring his neck, and I might be the one to do it," she said with a sparkle in her eye.

Maine.

5. I suppose she can go to the front of the line for that.
I wouldn't want her to expire and miss her chance to wring Bush's neck.

"Waldo, originally a Republican, turned Democrat. 'She converted me,' he said."

That's the way to do it!

6. She lived through the World Wars, the Great Depression, and the Cold War
I doubt there is any leader in her living memory that has become as hated both at home and abroad as Bush has become except Adolf Hitler or some other notorious dictator like Stalin.

7. I just met an older gent from Pakistan, asked him what he though of Musharraf. He launched into
a major tirade against Bush.

9. I loves me some Kathleen Tarbell
"Somebody ought to take Bush and wring his neck, and I might be the one to do it," she said with a sparkle in her eye.

bush's days in power are #ed. The people have had enough. Anybody who hangs with bush & Rove is
toast. About time that the "liberal media" spend 1/20 of the time they spent on Bill, the B.J., and Monica
on the underpinnings of the criminal nature that took over this country in a the coup of 2000.

Kathleen Tarbell I got your back.

12. She should team up with the 100 year old mugging victim
"If I was 10 years younger, I would have beat the crap out of him".

You go, girls.

16. Reminds me of that Grandmotherly lady who named Bush "Whistle-ass"
Old folks, young folks, mechanics, hairdressers, bartenders, students suit & ties around the water cooler- aint nobody liking Bush or this war no more.

25. My wife's grandmother was 103 last year-
Before she died last year, my wife's grandmother told me that in all her life, she never knew a president worse than the one we have now. She made family drive her to vote at both elections, just so it wouldn't weigh on her conscience.

Her words, "He's the worst president ever." She knew ever.

27. I had an 86 yr old woman, who is the most mild-mannered
person I've ever known, who has never mentioned politics to me since I've known her pull me aside and tell me she knows how to end the war in Iraq. I asked her how, and she said:

Put George Bush in a uniform, stick a gun in his hand, and drop him off in Baghdad!

29. My mom is 91 and was a Republican until the Nixon days. She calls Chimp names
I'd be embarrassed to say in most mixed company :D
(She worked to help elect Inhofe for mayor of Tulsa long ago...said the other day "I can't believe I was so damn stupid!")

My 96 year old mother-in-law would help her. She has nicknames for both Shrub and Crashcart and neither is appropriate for posting.
