Barbara Bush: 'terrible year' for GOP
At Dallas fundraiser, Hutchison agrees hold on Congress precarious


Two of the most popular Republican women in Texas, Barbara Bush and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, issued dire warnings Tuesday about their party's election prospects.

The former first lady called it a "terrible year" for Republicans. Said the senator: "This is a tough time for us, make no mistake about it."

Mrs. Bush headlined a $75-per-plate fundraising luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion, and the assessments of the bleak landscape facing the GOP came as a dash of cold reality for the hundreds of activists, mostly women, gathered to support the senator's re-election. They expect her to coast to another term, but whether she serves in a Congress controlled by Democrats remains an open question, with war, a page scandal and other problems dragging down the party.

Mrs. Bush drew huge laughs when she pointed out that the senator's Democratic opponent, Democrat Barbara Radnofsky, had derided Ms. Hutchison as an "aging prom queen."

...

"This war has to be a team effort, including a strong Congress who understands the mission at hand, and who can make thoughtful decisions. Which is why it would be the worst possible time for us to lose a good and experienced senator like Kay Bailey Hutchison. We really have to send her back with a huge, overwhelming vote," Mrs. Bush said.

1. Oh Babs, Don't Worry Your Beautiful Little Mind Over It

n/t

[VegasWolf]

2. Her "beautiful mind" is all a twitter!

[Beetwasher]

6. She Really Should Relax Though

All that worrying could give her wrinkles and make her eyes bulge out. Wouldn't want that to happen.

[saigon68]

14. Rove isn't worried

She shouldn't worry KARL will pull a Rabbit out of her ass

[calimary]

33. While she's ordered "the help" to pack her bags for Paraguay.

I think the bush klan is making preparations to bug out. They're buying some 98-thousand acres in Paraguay - very likely as a family compound/hideout after the "great unwashed" go on revolt back home. You can try relocating wherever you want, bar. It won't matter. The Grim Reaper, and Lucifer, will eventually find you.

[pokercat999]

49. and then they might take her picture off the one dollar bill

[Generic Brad]

58. They might also take her picture off the Quaker Oats boxes too

[bigluckyfeet]

68. Kay is more of a

aging prom zombie.

[Shakespeare]

7. Aw, beat me to it.

My first thought, too. Tough titty, Babs!

[Algorem]

16. this has to be kind of scary for her

might not work out very well for the overpriveleged

[JoFerret]

63. the underdisadvantaged

.

[WI_DEM]

3. "aging prom queen" fits Kay well, meanwhile Babs is just a evil old hag

[Mist]

4. $75 a plate?! GOP stock is falling... nt

[kestrel91316]

19. Yeah, didn't they used to be able to get $1500 a plate??

[KansDem]

47. Yeah, but for $1500 you got this pic of the Prez...

This was (supposedly) taken on 9/11

Now, what was all that fuss about Dems "politicizing" Wellstone's funeral?

[shanti]

29. the little people have to take the hits

now...:(

[Raine]

36. That was my first thought too

only $75...chump change for them.

[wakeme2008]

5. ROLF $75-per-plate

Babs you have to do the cheap rubber chicken lunches now :rofl:

[goforit]

15. ROFLMAO AS WELL!!!

[AnneD]

20. Ya'll noticed that too....

last time I remember a $75 (less actually-$50)a plate fundraiser was after Nixon. If we start seeing more of those-they really are in trouble.

Kaye challenger Barbara, spoke before our union. As she put it(paraphrasing)" Kaye seemed to think she would get re-elected because every one liked her-this is a Senate race, not a Homecoming prom queen election." I really don't remember the aging comment, but if the shoe fits.:rofl:

[onager]

8. It was a terrible year...

...when this greedy, clueless old harpy was whelped.

[havocmom]

9. In honor of the late, great Ann Richards: Poor Babs! She cin't help it...

she was born with a silver cocktail shaker in her hand.

[niyad]

10. NO, you self-absorbed twit, it has been a "terrible year" for the

COUNTRY, thanks to your disgusting spawn and his cohorts.

[swimboy]

11. Amen and amen

You put your finger right on it!

[Mad_Dem_X]

38. Bingo!

These self-absorbed a$$es only care about how things affect *them*. They can't see past their own noses. It's the Repuke Way.

[onehandle]

12. It's another terrible year for the troops, or as she thinks of them...

"The help."

[stanwyck]

22. You're wrong

she doesn't think of them. Ever.
Afterall, her boys never were "the troops". Darling George was...somewhere else. Not even Mama knows.
Or maybe you're right and she does think of them. And, like the Katrina victims sent to Texas, Babs thinks they've "better off than before" by going to Iraq to safeguard her oil money.

[onehandle]

59. They're servants.

They are doing their duty.

But to babs, they're just another sub-minimum wage slave class.

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. That lady's got balls.

This is Barbara Bush's speech, translated: Man, they're on to us. Our right to usurp this country's resources is going to be challenged in the next election. If we don't take what's out there, the Democrats will, so dig deep pals, or we're going to be stuck with the rest of the losers in the Middle Class.

[jhrobbins]

17. If anyone is interested, message me and I'll tell you some personal

anecdotes about Barbara

[skooooo]

18. Hide your eyes, Babs! nt

[tandot]

21. Hey Babs: Thanks to that idiotic thing you spawned 60 years ago

it has been six "terrible years" for the United States of America and the rest of the world.

Who gives a f*ck about the GOP?

[acmavm]

23. Damn! And just yesterday I was thinking that they must have

Babs tied up with duct tape over her mouth and stuck up in the attic or down in the cellar. It's been such a vacation not having to listen to her vapid idiotic crap.

[Missy Vixen]

24. I thought Mrs. Bush wasn't "being allowed" to make public statements

anymore after her performance during the post-Katrina debacle. Does anyone else besides me remember that announcement?

They're desperate. Seventy-five dollars a plate, AND Barbara Bush sticking her foot in her mouth in front of national media?

If all of us didn't have a reason to work even harder until the election, we have one now.

Julie

[Shakespeare]

26. She's kind of become our own Prince Phillip, hasn't she?

Our very own idiotic queen consort. Oh, and fuck her, by the way.

[Thor_MN]

76. Umm, Isn't that the ultimate reason that the idiot in White House exists?

I mean if GHW hadn't, GW wouldn't.

[Shakespeare]

81. I'm not sure I understand your post....

....or how it applies to my toss-away analogy meant simply to be funny.

[The Count]

44. I thought that happened after calling Hillary a bitch - and the clan had

to do damage control and trash the reporter she made the comment to (Coni Chung?) But every once in a while she gets free...

[classysassy]

25. Barbara Bush

is an evil person.

[wake.up.america]

27. You raised a selfish, ignorant, snot nosed child who turned out ...

just like mom.

[Benhurst]

28. The evil which escaped from Pandora's box was nothing compared

to what crawled out of Barbara.

[Hardrada]

30. Like QE II who said a year was an Annus Horribilis!

B Hag must think she's delivering a message from the throne.

[Matariki]

31. why do republicans always use the phrase " make no mistake about it"?

is it secret code for something?

[calimary]

32. Along with "in fact" - a favorite of cheney's.

Actually, their secret code is just lying. That's what they do for a living. And they manage to get paid rawther handsomely for it.

[devilgrrl]

34. Babs Bush, KB Hutchison, terrible excuses for human beings

What a couple of dumb broads they are.

[Coventina]

35. Well Babs, maybe it's because of your evil spawn!

:eyes:

[kurth]

37. She should have had an abortion

or kept her legs closed.

[fooj]

39. OMG. How I DESPISE both of those women.

[Megahurtz]

40. I'm with you on that one. n/t

[rodeodance]

41. hey barb-i will let you in on something-your son does not want a team!

"This war has to be a team effort, including a strong Congress who understands the mission at hand, and who can make thoughtful decisions. Which is why it would be the worst possible time for us to lose a good and experienced senator like Kay Bailey Hutchison. We really have to send her back with a huge, overwhelming vote," Mrs. Bush said.

[Ilsa]

42. No, you selfish bitch, it has been a terrible year for the 666 soldiers

who died during Period 5: December 15, 2005 (the day after Iraq General Elections) through today's date, per icasualties.org.
It has been a terrible year for their families and friends.
It has been a terrible year for Katrina victims trying to get by in a new state or new city.
It has been a terrible year for anyone looking for honest work when minimum wage is not worth working for.
It has been a terrible year for thousands of college students who had to drop out because of tuition increases and no Pell grants.
It has been a terrible year for anyone seeking medical care and they cannot get it because they lost their health insurance.
etc, etc,

What a mean bitch.

[Avalon Sparks]

60. Damn Right!

Barbara Bush is a wad of excretement and when she dies I will spit on her grave.

That's for pointing out who's really had a terrible year Ilsa.

[yellowcanine]

62. It's been pretty bad for the rest of us also and we didn't even vote for

the little smirk.

[Divine Discontent]

69. agreed... mean spiteful bitch. n/t

[Rocknrule]

43. It's not a "good year" for the Bushes

unless 3000 people get incinerated, knifed, crushed, or fall to their deaths
:puke:

[judaspriestess]

51. Geez, $75 a plate is what MY fundraiser was!

And I was a total party-file.

That's pathetic. My, how the mighty have fallen!

[Joe Chi Minh]

52. "Two of the most popular Republican women in Texas".....?

From what I've read of Texans' posts on here, that's a pretty backhanded compliment. A bit like saying, "Two of the most popular Hamas leaders in Israel.

[cassiepriam]

53. Wasn't such a great year for Iraqi civilians either Babs.....

or American soldiers.

[WCGreen]

54. I got nothing......

"Nothing scarier for thee ... than me." :evilgrin:

[Imagevision]

56. Repugs must be in dire straits if Babs is out spreading the word - she

georgie-boy is going to have a terrible time with no more available power left to her misguided whacked out jerkoff son!

[Anakin Skywalker]

57. Maybe If You Didn't Have an IDIOT For a Son, Babs!

Things wouldn't be so "terrible"?

Why are you worried anyway? Just go yatching on Kennebunkport and everything will be all right.

[leesa]

64. That's because we have your foolish, criminal son in charge

When will this old bat begin her trip to hell?

[roguevalley]

65. there's something terribly wrong with texas if these two idiots are among

the most popular 'women' in the state. evil, godforsaken trolls.

[bamacrat]

66. If pukes retain power nothing in the last 8 yrs matters

They will have pulled the first coup in American history, this is now a Dictatorship.

[Rex]

67. Fuck you Babs.

You spawned satan children!

[Lindacooks]

than the 4 letter word I scream at the television when she's on the senate floor.

[Guitarman]

79. Screw the GOP!!!

It has been a tough year for thousands of Iraqi's, hundreds of dead US servicemen and a nation that has sold it's nobility for a false sense of perceived safety.

[natrat]
