Barbara Bush

She's a real bitch

Are you fucking kidding?

Biggest bitch in the White House

BIOTCH

It looked like old george had a old mother fixation.

Raving racist bitch, currently roasting over a spitfire in hell.

Barbara Bush went public about being pro-choice., But only AFTER she left the White House

She found a great way to lighten age spots!

Someone named OP doesn't actually read DL.

But it's working out great for them.

She was not witty, and her "sass" was the same old upper-class put-down cuntery one still expects from fat, ugly rich women whose husbands fucked around on her. George's girlfriends and all.

Plus this horrible, deranged, racist cunt kept her dead fetus in a jar and showed it to her children.

Her rotting is the only positive thing to say about her. Filthy hate-filled bitch.

Why does everyone hate Barbara on here? She was a supporter of human rights

Awww….she looks just like Grandma.

Grandma was a raging cunt too.

This is inaccurate.

But I am sympathetic.

Near the end of her life, Mrs Bush was required by the family to campaign for her son whilst requiring supplemental oxygen and assistance with mobility.

This is very sad.

"Why does everyone hate Barbara on here? She was a supporter of human rights "

Oh, honey, she was a Republican. They don't actually believe any of that nonsense, it's just for show 🙄

R15 I really think Barbara believed in it, not just for show.

^ What makes you think that?

R17 She was outspoken about it. She was the only Republican who was at the time.

She thought Nancy Reagan was a silly, frivolous cunt and only associated with her when she absolutely had to.

[quote] Barbara ran the White House like she did her household- with a humorous iron fist.

And which was also the way she made love!

Bar was a barking cunt in many ways, but she was a vocal supporter of Roe v. Wade, and of human rights especially for children. You'll see evidence of that in her memoir, and in the memoirs of many people affiliated with her husband's administration.

Marilyn Quayle was not involved in the Bush 41 Administration. It was all on Babs to represent women.

Her husband was a groper, her son was a coke addict, Mama did SOMETHING right. All I can think of is the scene in Borat when he asks for plastic surgery and shows a picture to the doctor. "Can you make me look like this man?" "That's Barbara Bush."

Bitch could rock a string of pearls...

That's all I got 🤔

A man in a wig.

*

With great loathsome pomposity, she went to the mat for Uncle Clarence Tom

"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?"

No one could sell oats quite like she could!

Now that’s a women who KNOWS how to hate!

Hurricane Katrina - when folks had to be bused out of NO - "Well, it seems to be working out marvelously for them!" I thought to myself " Damn! That's some shit, THERE!"

“Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them,” Mrs. Bush told American Public Media’s “Marketplace” program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home.

Advocated for AIDS relief? What the fuck does that mean? Why was I out protesting her husband with ACT-UP then?

Is that one of the founding fathers cross dressing?

“Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them"

They lost everything in the flood, including their jobs. They moved to higher ground and looked for new opportunities and a fresh start in another state and were grateful for the opportunity to begin anew.

Her son, Jr. was widely criticized for fumbling the national response to Hurricane Katrina. Her flippant remarks can be perceived as defensive and borderline cruel.

Why is her picture still on the one dollar bill?

She was the Republican Party's version of Vera Donovan, a high riding bitch in a man's world!

She has nothing on Trump throwing paper towels at Puerto Ricans.

"Contrary to rumor, that is not me on the Quaker oatmeal box."

She's a hoot

How can a fist be humorous?

Sounds like someone is desperately trying to rehabilitate her public persona. She was a bitch on wheels.

R42 but a funny bitch

We haven't had real class in the WH since. The Obamas were class too. But I mean old white anglo saxon protestant class.

OP, you must be new here. Were you born in 2003?

interesting.

The Klannies on here probably covet her pearls (for clutching).

A partison hack bitch. Normal people gave her a pass because she seemed like the president's grandmother rather than his wife.

True, she lacked Hillary Clinton's warmth and common touch.

Politics is fucking tough and most wives of presidents are too.

I would never ask my elderly mother, who is infirm and requires supplemental oxgyen to breathe and a cane to stand upright to hit the streets for me. These people hate their mother even more than I hate mine.

Gather the names of all of the fags who dare to criticize me here...

You know what to do with them.

Pretty sure Granny Goodness from Superman the animated Series and Justice League was based on her. Voiced by Ed Asner

She had demonic hordes at her beck and call, you know.

Oh how I wish she had turned that cuntery on Melanoma Trump in 2016.

She was still America’s grandmother, she could have given a passive aggressive interview and mentioned Melanoma’s inability to wear panties or a bra and her nudes.

Here is actual audio of Barbara Bush saying that Black Hurricane Katrina victims who were being housed in the Houston Astrodome were "underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them." This audio has been scrubbed from the internet for years

Sorry R52 but Granny Goodness debuted in the early 70s.

What great work did she do for the LGBT community except light a candle for AIDS victims?

This list of causes above is very padded on her resume.

R30 I always wondered what the background of that quote from Trickie Dick was all about.

She was a saint compared to Margaret Thatcher and Nancy Reagan.

she was a cunt

r41 Ask Señor Wences. 🤛

Then how did her dumb fuck sons become that way?

Please provide the documentation of anything she ever did for LGBT folks. You won’t be able to present anything because she did nothing. Those were hard times for us, and that family did nothing. Nothing.

Well. She was better than Melanja and Nancy Reagan. I guess I'll give her that.

R3 No. Nancy Reagan takes that title.

She was a dumb cunt.

When she took Hillary on a tour do the White House after Bill won, Hillary asked her to see the Rose Garden and the famous Snowball Bush planted by Betty Ford.

Barbara replied “No need to walk all that way.” She then lifted her skirt and showed Hillary her wildly overgrown pubic area and said “It looks like this but thicker”.

If Barbara had worked to remove Karl Rove, who worked for the Reagan-Bush administration, from American politics and stopped him from convincing Reagan to eliminate the Fairness Doctrine that required nonpartisan views in broadcasting, then she would be worthy of praise. Instead, like all of the other people in the inner circle of the West Wing, she went along and benefited from Rove’s policy work, which led to the creation of Fox News and conspiracy theorists getting access to the airwaves.

OP, kindly go fuck yourself, and take your GOP propaganda elsewhere. No one wants your bullshit here.

[quote]but she was a vocal supporter of Roe v. Wade

She was not, liar, and you know that. She made one statement, [italic]once, [/quote]after her husband left office. She gave countless speeches as first lady, addressed multiple GOP conventions over the years, and stood by silently countless times as her husband campaigned on overturning Roe and "ending abortion." She never spoke out when it mattered and never took one risk in favor of protecting reproductive right. Stop whitewashing history and stop expecting anyone here is dumb enough to swallow your blatant lies.

The cuntiest cunt who ever cunted.

The rehabilitation of the Bush clan makes me angry.

^ Is anyone really interested in the rehabilitation of the Bush clan?

Racist, evil bitch.

I loved it when Pat Stevens had Barbara on her show.

I was hard to suppress laughter when a friend in all seriousness called her “America’s Grandma”.

A Republican speaking about choice is so rare it's always speaking out when it matters.

Barbara Bush was a person who could be really kind and really awful and, stealing and paraphrasing somebody else's line, the kind of person who hadn't had lunch with someone who rents in fifty years. The unhinged emergence of DL's mommy issues are as repellent as anything Bar ever did.

R14, her family never "made" Barbara Pierce "I Am An Angry Cunt For Life" Bush do anything. Ever.

[quote]Is that one of the founding fathers cross dressing?

Please don't give Lin-Manuel Miranda any ideas. No one wants to see a trans "Hamilton."

Barbara Bush is on my fantasy list of ladies to have lunch with, alive or dead.

Other notables:

Wallis Simpson Roy Cohn Dorothy Kilgallen and Pamela Harriman

R71 The media seems to be. Some of my friends.

[quote]One of the wittiest and sassiest first ladies in history.

Did someone say SASSY?

R78 Wallis Simpson? Really? Out of every other woman in history, you pick that spoiled rotten cunt? You've got to be kidding.

Married to a President and gave birth to one. A great Lady. Jill Biden can't even keep her fucking hair combed.

^ Oh, Snap! 🙄

God, you trolls and your witties

R77 I now want to see that!!!

"Married to a President and gave birth to one. A great Lady. "

MARY, R82. Her husband was a one-term failure and her son lied to get the U.S. to invade a country and indulge in an economically terrible war. Fuck outta here with your twee sentiments.

Barbara Bush Calls Evacuees Better Off

Sept. 7, 2005 WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 - As President Bush battled criticism over the response to Hurricane Katrina, his mother declared it a success for evacuees who "were underprivileged anyway," saying on Monday that many of the poor people she had seen while touring a Houston relocation site were faring better than before the storm hit.

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas," Barbara Bush said in an interview on Monday with the radio program "Marketplace." "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway," she said, "so this is working very well for them."

Mrs. Bush toured the Astrodome complex with her husband, former President George Bush, as part of an administration campaign throughout the Gulf Coast region to counter criticism of the response to the storm. Former President Bush and former President Bill Clinton are helping raise money for the rebuilding effort.

R85 Class is class. I didn't say they were great Presidents but who has been. "Fuck outta here"? Please.

"I didn't say they were great Presidents but who has been."

Boy, are you stupid, R87.

FDR, Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and quite a few others rank as great or near great. In recent times, even Obama and Clinton were miles ahead of both Bushes.

"Class?" Your sense of what's classy is archaic.

[quote] "She thought Nancy Reagan was a silly, frivolous cunt and only associated with her when she absolutely had to."

This is the ONLY time I've ever agreed with Barbara Bush on ANYTHING, R19.

Is she the whitest First Lady? I mean in terms of attitude and values.

And looking like George Washington.

HUGE cunt

Sad that Republican trolls are taking over datalounge. Any Fulkerson worth his or her GLBTQ ass knows what a fucking demon Republicans are period. Fuck off motherfucker.

I thought her Katrina comments were misunderstood.

New Orleans has always had a homeless and poverty problem. What she was saying was that those people have a fresh start in life, by relocating to Houston, Dallas, etc. If you look at the crime and homeless statistics in Houston before and after Katrina, you can tell Houston has suffered because of the city taking refugees.

I felt sorry for Katrina refugees I was living near Pensacola and people were just pouring in going as far as they could until they ran out of gas. There was no gas to be found so they just sat in their cars. These weren't even poor people, just average people with nowhere to go

OP- GRANDMA Bush grew up in Rye, New York which is not New England.

Say what you want haters but the Bush's are a beloved family to many. Maybe not you. Even Michelle Obama was friendly with them. Everything doesn't have to be hate this and hate that. If you don't learn to work together with people who think differently, you will lose. The Bush daughter that hosts morning TV is pretty good proof that the entire family is not hated. Can you imagine Ivanka having the popularity to sit and hang out morning after morning with Hoda? No. Many people remember the Bush Family fondly. Like it or not.

There are about 100,000 Iraqis whose families wish their were alive to remember the Bushes—-fondly or not so fondly.

"the Bush's are" Oh, dear, R96.

Showing your true Repug colors, are you? Hunty, you're in the wrong place trying to sell the Bush bitches to anyone here. And as a dynasty, their ovah. Good riddance.

"they're ovah"

Fixed.

No DL thread about Babs is complete without the apocraphyl Nixon quote about her:

[quote]Barbara Bush, now she was interesting. She knew how to hate."

Along with:

[quote]"But that Barbara Bush, she’s really something; she’s really vindictive!”—which was the highest complement that Nixon could deliver. - Gore Vidal.

She's be a DL spirit animal if she weren't one of the worst people since H.

The Pictures Of George and Babs with Uncle Clarence Thom & the Ginni Pig ate worse than Rosalynn with Gacy. Because Rosalynn didn’t know.

BABS DID!

^^^ allow me to Oh, dear myself

Apocryphal.

Bar Bush = L E G E N D

A legend among cunts.

I remember her sky-high favorable ratings during her husband's term, even when GHWB's own popularity nosedived beginning in late 1991, and I never understood it. Maybe, as some suggested, it was because she looked "grandmotherly," her official personal appearances were well managed (see this short clip of Bar reading to some kids? She's nice!), and social media wasn't around yet to put everything people SAID under a microscope?

In every interview I ever saw, I found her cold, severe, forbidding. I thought Bush 41 was a mediocre President with "the imagination of a grapefruit" (tm Jack Germond), but I never had a strongly negative opinion of him personally. Her? Nothing but a bad impression.

George and Barbara Bush were Old Money New England who had no idea how to handle 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's.

A major activist for gay rights?

The fuck are you smoking, OP?

Barbara’s Brushfire 🔥 Bush consumes All

[quote]Her husband was a one-term failure and her son lied to get the U.S. to invade a country and indulge in an economically terrible war.

I. e., a two-term failure.

Evil cunt. The day her daughter died she and her husband went golfing.

R111 Come on, those tee times are hard to get.

Barbara's bush was white and plush.

R93= a gaslighting pos.

I was in high school during her husband's presidency. I couldn't gel her grandmotherly image with "wife of the head of the CIA". She had to know all sorts of really dirty things.

Exactly, R108. This is another one of those troll threads in which the OP says something that's actually the opposite of true--like Barbara Bush was a big gay rights supporter--and does so in a fawning way. Something like that is either patently untrue or hugely exaggerated, and they attempt to sell it, anyway, as if any moderately educated person wouldn't know better.

It's like when Hillary Clinton touted Nancy Reagan's non-existent AIDS support at Reagan's funeral when we all knew the it was pure bullshit.

Her pearls were fake.

Not sure why? The Bushes are wealthy and can afford real pearls.

Jackie Kennedy's pearls were also fake and the Kennedys could certainly afford the real ones, natural or cultured.

R98 I know that grammar misstep smarted.

Kennedys were stretched thin. Jackie would spend like crazy causing arguments with the President. Her father in law, was an old school player who understood how image was vital for their roles. He would quietly pay the bills Jackie ran up at the best department stores.

22:45. Nancy and Babs "hated each other".

R122 That's common knowledge. The 1980 primaries were vicious, and neither Nancy nor Barbara were the forgiving type. Barbara Bush thought the Reagan people were flashy, sloppy, and propping up a moron for president. And Nancy, whose pathological obsession with all things "Ronnie" consumed her completely, saw any criticism of her husband as a direct and mortal attack. Nancy was a fucking loon when it came to her husband, and Barbara Bush made her shit list essentially for saying "Welcome to Washington, honey. Your husband's a dumbass, and my husband is really pulling the strings."

Bar also looked down on Nancy for being a climber of an actress. Even then, they knew she was the blowjob queen of Burbank, and gave off definite Second Wife vibes. Barbara Bush was educated in the East, was raised to be a lady, and was firm yet close with all of her children. Nancy was a goofy little trollop whose kids never called, and spent more time with a Ouija board than with a book in her lap.

I was unaware of an acrimonious relationship between Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush. I did read Barbara dismiss her predecessor, Hillary Clinton as " a bitch".

Here is footage of Nancy over in Russia behaving badly. In public.

R124 Successor, you mean.

Most of the recent first ladies are generally civil to one another, or even friends. After all, who else on the planet understands what it means to marry some schmuck, and decades later find yourself a world figure because of HIS career ambitions? It's a screwy position.

But some first ladies who didn't get along:

Mamie Eisenhower and Jacqueline Kennedy - Jackie had given birth to John-John a short time before she was due to tour the White House, and a bitter Mamie led her on a room-by-room slog of the entire mansion. Mamie knew this would exhaust her. Jackie finished the tour without complaint, and promptly collapsed at her hotel. Mamie smirked and said "She never asked for a wheelchair!"

Caroline Harrison and Frances Cleveland - Harrison was the elder figure. Her husband defeated President Cleveland in a bitter election, but Cleveland stuck around as a national figure with his comely young wife, which ate into the Harrisons' social life. Caroline looked down on Frances - who was nearly 30 years younger than Grover Cleveland and had known him since childhood. It was a creepy marriage, scandalous, but also oddly endearing to the public. Frances Cleveland was young, beautiful and demure, while Caroline Harrison was older and boring. Caroline died of TB two weeks before the 1892 election (one of three first ladies to die in office), and she didn't live to see her husband defeated by good old Mr. Cleveland.

Margaret Wilson and Edith Galt Wilson - Margaret was the eldest daughter of Woodrow Wilson, and served as his first lady during the year between the death of the first Mrs. Wilson and his remarriage to the second Mrs. Wilson. Margaret was a grown woman who loved her mother and had a frosty relationship with Edith, who was herself a headstrong old widow with an odd ability to enrapture the famously intellectual President Wilson. All three of Wilson's daughters appreciated the comfort that this new wife brought to their lonely father, but tensions remained. No record exists of Margaret's feelings about Edith Wilson during the final year of her father's presidency - when Wilson was bedridden with severe strokes, and Edith Wilson effectively served as acting president - but she was a sharp cookie who surely had her opinions.

Other first ladies got along great. Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter both campaigned for the ERA, and Michelle Obama and Laura Bush have a good personal chemistry. Nellie Taft and Edith Roosevelt were like long-lost sisters, and got along great. Both were brassy, outspoken broads who ran their own offices, smoked cigarettes, and made political moves separate from their husbands.

[quote]Why does everyone hate Barbara on here? She was a supporter of human rights.

"A supporter of human rights?" What does that even mean? Name one thing, just one, that she ever even said about "human rights."

Just one. We'll wait.

R124 I don't believe that. It is documented at both Bushes were nothing but kind, cordial, and helpful during the transition.

Bush Sr left Clinton a very kind note (see attached).

In A Promised Land, Obama writes, "Whether because of this respect for the institution, lessons from his father, bad memories of his own transition (there were rumors some Clinton staffers had removed the 'W' from the White House computers on their way out the door, or just basic decency, President Bush did all he could to make the eleven weeks between my election and his departure go smoothly..."

Magats have led the USA off the cliff because of their feelings and beliefs.

Your beliefs are irrelevant.

Only facts matter.

No defense of Barbara Pierce Bush is convincing here.

She was a cunt's cunt, and never did anything except to control her family, manage family PR, and shit on other people behind her arrogant demeanor.

This is bold. She hugged and touched AIDS patients.

Even putting her politics and the gay stuff aside, I'll assume OP is kidding here. Humorous is not what I'd call Barbara Bush.

Big cunt, literally. She was also a bitch.

Barbara Bush hugs gay man

Campaigning for gay marriage

Fucking cunt.

"However you define family is what we mean by family values"

She seemed like a real bitch. It also can't have been easy aging from an attractive young woman to a person who looked much older than her still-attractive husband.

A cunt for all seasons!

Her childhood friend and classmate once told me she was dumber than a box of hair.

Barbara should have tried to be more like me and people would have found her much more likeable.

And you know, she wouldn't even try canned potatoes.

Babs was Aleister Crowley's daughter.

Mo Collins as DL fave Barb Bush:

[quote]It also can't have been easy aging from an attractive young woman to a person who looked much older than her still-attractive husband.

As Bush family lore goes, every time Dubya snorted a line, Barbara developed one.

I like Phil Hartman as Barbara Bush better

I read somewhere that Barbara and George H.W. were very well-liked by the White House staff.

Perhaps after eight years of the fraudulent, idiots Ron and Nancy they were a relief.

R146 I read Nancy was not well liked

R226. Caroline Harrison shouldn’t have been so snooty towards Cleveland’s child bride. After Caroline’s death, her husband married Caroline’s cousin, who was 25 years her husband’s junior. I don’t think she was as hot as Cleveland’s wife though.

I just really dislike her. She gave birth to repugnant humans. Behind the scenes she was weepy, depressed and suicidal. Her 'wit' was just vindictiveness.

And her disinterest in getting that wrinkly skin tightened to look nicer tells volumes about her arrogance and privilege. If you're going to live that long you have make... adjustments.

Her wrinkles were her only endearing feature.

She is known for her cooking skills

Love me some Barbara Bush.
