Barbara Bush is ready to move on.

She is just pretending to be kind so she can push her grandson into office.

If Americans put another Bush by any name into office then it is official - something in the water is making people stupid.

we have heard from Karen Hughes
we have heard from Jeb
we have heard from W
we have heard from others

be vigilant and remember, it takes a Clinton in 2016 to beat a Bush, like in 1992.

body bags and death when it comes to Iraq. She is a despicable POS.

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"
