Barbara Bush threatens critics with death - on CNN
Barbara Bush on the Larry King show:

http://www.cnn.tv/TRANSCRIPTS/0310/22/lkl.00.html

-about 20% down the page-

BUSH: Well, first of all, you have to watch the father of the president suffer. And it hurts when your children are criticized. It hurts a lot.

KING: He takes it badly?

BUSH: He and I both do. He -- he curses, and I grit my teeth.

But, no, he really -- he knows that's the name of the game. But it gets pretty ugly.

KING: But was it harder for you...

BUSH: Much.

KING: ...when he -- when the current president is criticized than when the husband was criticized?

BUSH: Right.

KING: How do you explain it -- motherly?

BUSH: Motherly. And fatherly. I mean, that's just a normal reaction.

But the same would be true if something happened that was difficult for Jeb or for Doro or Neil or Marvin. And you can criticize me, but don't criticize my children and don't criticize my daughters-in-law and don't criticize my husband, or you're dead.

----

Yikes.

-moved from lbn-

-and no it isn't a direct threat, it's definitely hyperbole, but you might think that the former first lady of the U.S. might use a little more tact, and carefully choose her words-

1. Sounds like a lady
Who can't accept responsibility for the way she raised her children.
Of course, they are a mirror image, what do you think?

34. "He curses and I grit my teeth" I had a couple of stray dogs like that.
This family deserves some sort of diability social security checks for their problematic children.

3. Why assume it's hyperbole?
Her husband is a spook from roughly the days of Noah's Ark, and one of her sons functions as President of the United States and is arguably a psychopath.

11. She looks psycopathic
hell she has to be psychopathic to raise a man who has as much a love for death as George has.

6. Oh boy! I'm "dead!"!
I feel a new tatoo coming on. Some variation of a skull and crossbones to show forever that I CRITICIZED GEORGE BUSH.

7. Imagine if Hillary said that?
The shit storm it would create!!
Full out media blitz by Fox and RW jocks, followed by CNN and the other whores. The next days poll after poll after poll would swamp the internet.
"Should Hillary resign?"
"Was Hillary serious?"
"Is Hillary pure evil?"
"Is Hillary the Anti-Christ?"

10. Plonk, plonk, plonk, plonk,.....
Edited on Sat Nov-01-03 02:46 PM by mgdecombe
That is the sound of millions of Americans realizing that they're dead.

Sorry, Babs, I'll be taking my last breath in just a 'sec. But before I do, I must say that I think your son is a blight on our history, and long afer we are *all* dead, Babs, long after you and I are both in the grave, many, many more, who are not yet born will criticize your son and his cabal.

Since you seem to think you have a long afterlife ahead of you, you'd best get used to it.

Ok, Babs, come 'n get me. Bring it on, Babbie!

12. Well how old is this vicious hag? Tick Tick Tick

She's never heard of honest criticism.

14. J.H. Hatfield comes to mind -
Mr. Hatfield wrote a fine book about the Bush family called "The Fortunate Son" -

Unfortunately for Mr. Hatfield he is dead as a door nail.

29. they threatened his kid, and wife...
James tried to stop the publication of his book, but, when he couldn't, decided to eliminate the possibility of attack on his family by killing himself...not by bush but by bush's backers/managers.

'Tis hard to believe that people like this family exist!

I can see how the young guileless innocent would have trouble believing the dark side of this appalling family.

I thought that Bush Sr was gay and Babs was his mother.

18. Man, I would LOVE to get in her face and say,
"Listen here, you waste of protoplasm...I will criticize anyone I feel like, especially your children and your daughers-in-law. The last time I checked, the First Amendmentwas still in existence, despite your son's attempts to get it revoked, so you can stick your hyperbolic threats down that deep, dark hole where you've buried your rotting, black soul!"
Why does the Bush family bring out the anger in me?

35. I'm not so sure it's hyperbole at all
Barbara Bush could very well be the "Livia" to Bush the Smarter's "Augustus".

She certainly has connections to enough CIA-trained killers in the Bushevik Private Army of CIA guys kicked out after the Church Committee exposed them, from Charles Kane on down.

Not that I am certain of anything, but I suspect she is as much of an inhuman monster as the rest of her diseased clan.

I've had it with the whole degenerate Bush family. Bunch of cowards and fascists, they are. Nothing more. x( Well, they cater to big corporate interests too, and that's another sin they'll eventually pay for.

53. Dear heavens
this family has supplied us with two dumbassed women--one who thinks the louder she talks, the more she will be perceived as lovable, and the other who thinks she can dress like she was twenty years old, not comb her hair, dress in tight gowns that emphasize the mature, fatassed figure, and come off looking like a lump of a frump. Ugh--get these two offstage soon. Neither has a thing going for them. They are both an embarrassment.
