Barbara Bush: World's Shittiest Mother
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 06:02 AM by mopaul
first the woman had to marry a man who had wealth and family connections but had no masculinity or spine, george herbert walker bush, sonofanazi senator. then she drank heavily while carrying the boy, and apparently dropped the little fellow on his head repeatedly during drunken blackouts.

then she set about being the father of the family, and instilling in george a sense of hatred for all those outside the bush vampire family. she put a sense of baronial entitlement into little georgie's pointed head, and spoiled the filthy little punk rotten.

now her brain damaged cocaine addled drunken sot of a failure son is in the driver's seat of state, in all his mentally crippled glory.

Cindy Sheehan and her son SHAME you barbara bush. while Cindy grieves, and while thousands of Iraq mothers grieve, you sneer down your royal nose at her from your castle surrounded by your servants and ass kissers. you have failed as a mother barbara, utterly. and someday the historians will expose you for what you were, the mother of the biggest mother fucker of all time.

6. That's the exact quote Poppy uses when defending her!
Wow that's weird, channeling Poppy! :)

She also calls the Democrats a "sorry lot" etc. It's not as though she doesn't chime in on politics.

76. i agree that demonizing
ANYONE is wrong- because it only serves to distance us from our OWN potential and real failings-

BUT

While Mopaul may not have all the specifics right- he is telling an important truth. Little george was very badly parented- and while ms. bush may have done her best, her best was woefully lacking-

Look at the fruit of her loins- and what they have wrought. Poppy bears his share of the load, but her angry, sarcastic, self-oriented, rude and compassionless attitude, and the re-enforcement of that in her little golden boy, helped make him what he is.-

That HE chooses to stay that way, is his burden- and responsibility, but children DO learn what they live-
As adults, we can either live in denial, or make the gargantuan effort to face our ugly flaws, and work to change them. My generational curses, end with me- my sons KNOW what being fully human, and being part of a community really is.- and i'm still learning with,through, and for them.

On the front page of DU that photo of Bush* with arms outstretched and Condi's head almost looks like it's suspended in air... a good candidate for adding a couple of other heads as if Bush is juggling them?

26. Why are you defending her?
She's fair game. After all, she's not shy about attacking and smearing others...I vividly remember her "well, I can't say it, but it rhymes with "witch"" comment describing Geraldine Ferraro after the Vice Presidential debate between Ferraro and George H.W. Bush in 1984.

Barbara Bush is NOT some damn Donna Reed "baking cookies" housewife. She's very, very political and partisan. And goddammit, if she makes these kind of statements, she should be held accountable for them.

However, declaring Barbara Bush's uterus a Superfund site is A-OK.

118. Attacking Family Members
When a family member is a shark like Babs bu$h, you'd best get your butt out of the water.

Ages ago I thought she was the sweetest little old grandmother ever, then I started reading. That old hag is meaner than that little rotten schoolyard bully she raised and dumped on us.

You've spent the better part of this discussion defending that old witch so what are you? One of her kids?

If you are saying she isn't 'evil incarnate' i agree. But is her attitude, are her actions, and words and deeds 'wrong'- as we as a society define wrong?

Oh yes! she is broken- and she continues to do harm

111. No, it's HER who is wrong! It's the whole Bush family...
...and all of their soul-less supporters. There is just NOTHING that drives me up the wall faster than one "my own" telling me to take the high road, except possibly one of THEM telling me to take the high road. We TRIED that, remember? I've been through with that approach since November 3rd, and now I am determined to out-polarize, out-hate, out-yell and outlast them, and to do whatever it takes to bring them down. The only thing I won't do or advocate is lying, because that will backfire on us like it does on them. But I am a firm believer in using the truth as a weapon, and throwing it at them just as hard and as accurately as we can.

So during the next campaign I expect the Democrats to GO NEGATIVE on those bastards big time, to keep rubbing their noses in their own shit over and over again. I expect to see campaign ads showing Bush looking under his desk for Saddam's WMDs--over and over again. I expect to see a video of that crowd of counter-demonstrators at Camp Casey chanting "WE DON'T CARE!" And I expect endless replays of Barbara Bush making her famous "beautiful mind" statement.

Don't EVER ask me not to dehumanize the dehumanizers! They have already done it to themselves by dehumanizing everyone else outside of their own little cliques. It doesn't "put me on their level" to point out their moral and spiritual bankruptcy, and I'm not going to do it in charitable terms either. And if it does "put me on their level," too fucking bad! They deserve it and they should damn well get it.

Yeah-- she raised criminals en masse--

but her documented actions as an invdividual, as a mother, as a human being-- all point to the fact that it would have been better had her parents never decided to have had children.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 06:19 AM by jackster
Barbara Bush is the actual head of that family - she has always been the center and the force behind all of them. A little research into her background will show that her prickly personality is only a glimpse into a very troubled psyche. She has an enormous ego and drive and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She's a very cold, cruel woman.

Playing golf the day after georgie's sister died ...
I think created in the shrub a lot of psychological damage -- a vicious fear of sickness and death for himself (hence the 2 hours a day workout while the country goes to the dogs) and complete indifference to death and suffering in others.

The shrub is utterly psychotic and Barb is to blame.

11. Maybe this part is even sicker ...
If I remember correctly, she and poppy never even told little shrub that the sister was sick until they day she died. Then they played golf:

"Oh, by the way georgie, your sister hasn't just had a bad cold these last weeks. She had lukemia, and she passed away this morning.

"If the housekeeper needs to talk to us, we'll be at the country club playing golf."

Decades of damage.

Clinton told them to lay off the bimbo stuff or he'd spill the beans on Jennifer.

They gave her body to science.

Also, when they moved to Texas, Bar's mother died in a car crash. She never even bothered going to her funeral, though they'd been to one up in Ohio just before.

mothers for every psycho kid out there?

W. is a grown man. He makes his own choices, or at least he chooses to allow others to make choices for him and from what I can see, it ain't Barbara with her hand up his puppet smock.

4. but she doesn't want to think about death
I don't remember the quote but thinking about death and dying might ruin her "beautiful mind". So I don't think she gives a rats ass about Cindy or any other grieving family.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 06:36 AM by marzipanni
so I searched the archives for his post and here it is:
But I question how we have become desensitized if we aren't even allowed to see today's coffins as per Bush*s orders. I guess he's just being a good little boy by trying to protecting his mother's beautiful mind.

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" - Barbara Bush, ABC's "Good Morning America", March 18, 2003.

5. I will never, ever, forgive her for her comment:...
"Why should I waste my beautiful mind" comment when she was asked about the deaths of Americans in Iraq. Which she has never apologized for.

Barbara Bush is an evil, nasty woman. I never, in a million years, would imagine that anyone could make Nancy Reagan look good. But compared to this hateful, ruthless harridan, Nancy Reagan comes off as Mother Teresa incarnate.

A cold, unfeeling woman. The self described "enforcer" of the Bush family. Just a nasty, nasty piece of work.

51. Not a fan of attacking people, either
because I don't like it in them - and it's one of Barbara Bush's least attractive traits - she loves to trash people.


Just curious though, how the GOP and MSM would have torn Virginia Clinton apart if she'd said that thinking about death would have harmed her "beautiful mind".

33. Why attack Bar?
I usually agree with emanyton's point -- family ought to be off-limits.

Generally.

I'm not a fan of attacks on the twins. They stay out of politics. If the wingers want to attack Chelsea Clinton, it's on their heads. Attacks on Chelsea have generally not been well-received, even by the conservative Peanut Gallery.

Laura -- "Pickles" -- opened herself up to attack when she went around stumping for her husband and mocking Democrats. "Why, they wanted to count and re-count and re-count the votes! If Al Gore had been allowed to win fair and square, I can't begin to imagine what would have happened on 9-11! Peace might have broken out!"

Mother Bush is an active, activist, outspoken right-winger and has the same kind of arrogance most of her kids show. The Press gave her carte blanche during George I's reign. Her wise-ass remarks about her beautiful mind, her sons' infallibility, and the Democrats' morality confirmed her status.

Have at her.

39. Her remarks about her 'beautiful mind'
made her instantly fair game.

She knew from that callous comment that none of the Bush cabel progency would be in harm's way, so she wouldn't even consider the suffering that someone like Cindy is still undergoing.

And, I HAVE met the witch. She is just as cold and evil in person as she is on TV. She is a despicable human being.

that Laura Bush told at the White House Correspondents' Dinner?

"So many mothers today are just not involved in their children's lives — Not a problem with Barbara Bush. People often wonder what my mother-in-law's really like. People think she's a sweet, grandmotherly, Aunt Bea type. She's actually more like, mmm, Don Corleone."

You can sort of tell when it goes "to the bone"! She has this kind of regal, "I'm a member of the superior class" bearing and way of looking at people. What an influence on a little silver spoon runt like GW! The whole picture makes sense and is a horror as far as grooming a "leader of the free world"!

You didn't even mention the other disasters in the family, Jeb and Neilsie. I don't know much about Marvin and the sister, other than they are apparently smart enough to keep lower profiles.

If George HW Bush really wanted to serve his country, he should have worn a condom on the nights Dubya, Jeb, and Neil were conceived.

45. here is the story on her 'my beatiful mind comment"


http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0429-11.htm

Published on Thursday, April 29, 2004 by CommonDreams.org
Her Beautiful Mind
by Joyce Marcel


What could be behind the Bush Administration's decision to censor the photographs of flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq? Could it really be, as the government says, to respect "the privacy of the families?" Or is it to hide the realities of war for political reasons? Or is it to protect the delicate sensitivities of the ruling class as Americans die to build them an empire?

As the argument over this censorship continues, I hope people remember a widely-quoted remark made by the president's mother, Barbara Bush, last year during the build-up of the war - the lying time.

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," Barbara Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

We know this particular censorship can't be about privacy. Since the photos were made public last week, many family members have praised their publication. And since the coffins are anonymous, where is the privacy to be protected?.......

54. Marvin, IIRC, likes pre-teen Thai hookers
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to believe that one of the Bushlings is a decent man.

Doro -- Dorothy Bush-Koch -- appears to be okay. She married a rich old honkin' basstid, but other than being a Republican, she seems fine.

Except for that shape-shifting alien lizard thing. But I guess you can't blame a person for the circumstances of their birth.

70. Oh, I believe that was Neil who had the hookers magically
materialize at his hotel door. Amazing things just happen when you are a member of the Bush family.

Marvin's security company did have a contract with the World Trade Center up until Sept. 11 (see post 62). The possible implications of that are breathtaking, but he has otherwise managed to avoid making a public spectacle of himself like his three brothers.

What gets me also, is that Mr. Family Man couldn't publically admit to fathering one of his mistress' kids. He would rather make her look like a trashy skank than admit paternity. Like who else could have fathered the kid? :shrug:

He was on the BOD of the security company at the WTC and at United until the day the WTC came down, which is interesting in light of the apparent demolition of those buildings. The sister is clean as far as I can tell.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 12:26 PM by Pigwidgeon
"Hotsy Totsy" from Welcome Back, Kotter married a detective in NYC, who died leading a rescue unit to the WTC on 9-11.

When 3000 people die, people are going to know all about who was involved in it. How did Marvin escape notice? You'd think, given the Family Bush propensity for high-visibility suffering, he'd be weeping on TV about all the friends he had lost.

52. I totally agree with you.
If she had stayed out of the limelight and kept her mouth shut, than it would have been a different story. But when you make stupid statements, people have a right to make rebuttals. And when you call others names, you have to take the consequences of your actions.People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Second, you have to fight fire with fire, I get the point some others are making and to some degree, I agree. Unfortunately when the other guy is constantly throwing punches below the belt, it's time to rethink your strategy.

55. She and poppy are a piece of work.
Vanity Fair ran a story last year about Sharon Bush, Neil's ex-wife, the one he was screwing around on. As he was trying to move her, along with the children, out of their house, she called the in-laws looking for support. Their advice: Downsize and get a job. They cut her and the grandkids off without a second thought. Poppy once famously referred to Jeb's kids as the "little brown ones." Imagine commenting publically on the race of your grandchildren? No class whatsoever. No wonder they raised a bunch of SOB's.
