In reply to the discussion: Do You Have A Favorable Or Unfavorable Opinion Of Ann Romney? [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)42. She took the easy way, though. She let Porgie change her, or wear her down.
Then again, Barbara (Washington's sister) Bush AND her husband were pro-choice before he got pushed to the right and forced to toe Reagan's line, and she was forced to STFU and "no comment"/"I'm not the President" over the matter.
Dorothy Bush finally got married again? Well, that's grand. I remember they were trying to fix her up with Congressman David Drier (who used to "escort" ditzy Bo Derek to events where he couldn't go stag) and she couldn't figure out why he wasn't at all interested!
Ah, here's the details of her nuptials:
In 1992, German American Koch married Dorothy Bush, the only living daughter of George H. W. Bush, at a private ceremony held at Camp Davidthe only couple to ever be married there in the nation's history. They have two children plus the two children from her first marriage.
Koch is a Democrat who started his career in politics working for Tony Coelho and was part of his campaign to become House Majority Whip. He would later become staff director for House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt before joining the Wine Institute.[1] Since becoming President and CEO in June 2003, membership has grown 70% to over 1,000 Californian wineries and affiliated businesses which are predominately family owned and operated.
He has a substantial equity interest in Central European Distribution Corp., the company that manufactures and distributes vodka in Poland.[2]
Koch is active in raising funds to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.[3]

I would call her snooty. She reeks of privilege and is utterly clueless about it. /nt
