Take that to bed with you, Rush and Rushbots.

One poor naive DUmmy makes a valiant effort to prove that DU is not full of heartless assholes. But alas, his fellow primitives prove "Rush and Rushbots" right.

25. Maybe they could do a heart transplant so she'll finally feel some compassion.

5. Too late it's already failing.
My beautiful mind does not need to have it filled with her misery.

19. I couldn't care less if she lives or dies
I am not going to bother my beautiful mind with her.
Our company is on the verge of serious financial reversal. We just found out today that our biggest customer (who owes us ALOT of money) is filing for bankruptcy. We will have to lay off people. We don't even know if we can keep the doors open. The dominoes are teetering. My husband has done nothing but work his ass off for 35 years and for what?
A pox on the entire Bush Crime Family. I wish I believed in hell so I could delight in them all burning there forever.

21. I won't be wasting my beautiful mind or a prayer on her.
I just don't give a shit about someone who has such an ugly heart.

26. For what the Bush clan has done to America I hope she rots in hell.
The sooner that we are rid of that vicious old bitch the better. I have exactly as much compassion from the bitch as she has for all the people that suffer from Katrina.

You know, while I was in a waiting room about noon, where Fox News was on television, I noticed several photographic shoots of George and Barbara Bush; it looked to me as if they were leaving a building, and there was a very large crowd there, cheering them on.
But of course I couldn't hear the television.
Did she actually get out of the hospital today?
If so, damn, she looks good, robust and healthy.
And I hope that continues for a long time yet.
-
They're addicted to hate. They have always been addicted to hate.
Now that their primary enemy is vanquished they have lost the ability to focus their hate and bitterness in a coherent direction.

Yeah, they are addicted to hate. They are no different from Fred Phelps.

Actually, sir, I'd just as soon take an answer to the question.

Might have been a "clip", Frank, from another time.
I understood that she had open heart surgery today. The doctors' replaced a damaged valve in her heart. I would think that she would be in the hospital for several days.
-

Sir, I don't know the answer to that. But, if the case that Deb outlined is true, I'd say that she's still in the hospital. Kinda tough to do outpatient open-heart surgery.
ETA: She'll be at Methodist for another week and a half or so.

It was just really aggravating to me, watching that.
And there wasn't anybody else in the waiting room that I could ask.
Seeing that television screen made me very happy I don't pay much attention to television.
In the main part of the screen were all those clips of George and Barbara Bush with well-wishers. On the bottom sixth of the screen was a running news-commentary. On the right third of the screen, divided into two parts, were videos of two other, different events.
What the Hell?
It's really hard to unscramble one thing when there's four or five other things going on.
I suspect it's a nuisance even for hearing people.
-
I am not going to bother my beautiful mind with her.
:lmao:
Holy shit, that's got to be in the top 5 things I've ever read on the net.
Don't worry friend, I don't think you have the requisite body parts to have a "beautiful mind." That generally involves at least having a brain, and you're completely unequipped in that department.

I thought the same thing.....and how terribly vain to think one has a "beautiful mind".
Wasn't that about a guy, that while he was a savant was mentally handicapped?

It is. There isn't any sound, so it's the same for hearing people as it is for you.....how many things can one read at the same time and focus on yet another?

He was a brilliant mathematician who was also paranoid/schizophrenic. Aside from the brilliant mathematician part, I'd say if fits those idiots quite perfectly.

Sorry DUmmies. Looks like Mrs. Bush is gonna make it....
From CNN: The surgeon who performed heart surgery Wednesday on former first lady Barbara Bush said Thursday that she is recovering well from the 2 1/2-hour surgery in which her aortic valve was replaced.
Former first lady Barbara Bush had heart surgery Wednesday in Houston, Texas.
"From our perspective, this was a very routine procedure, and we expect her to make an excellent recovery," Dr. Gerald Lawrie told reporters at Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center in Houston.
Prayers for the Bush family for a speedy and complete recovery!
-
Frank, my understanding is she will be hospitalized for a few more days. She will have a home nurse afterwards.
Lessee, Little Goons:
Barbara Bush - a woman of great integrity and style. She married a man who became vice-president and then president of the greatest country on earth. She was First Lady of the land, a very exclusive club until here recently. She raised sons who became governors of Texas and Florida, two great states of this union. One of her sons became a two-term president of the greatest nation on earth. Mrs. Bush is highly educated, personally secure in herself, a tremendous role model for those who need such, and, as she said, the only woman on earth who could tell the President of the United States of America to get his dirty feet off her nightstand.
DU's Little Goons - = little goons.
I don't imagine Mrs. Bush is weeping over your isolated and walled-up comments. She will continue to enjoy her extraordinary life. I, personally, will pray for her - like all decent folks will be doing.

I forget which book it's in--it's on the shelves somewhere here, but there's so many of them--but in it is related an illuminating anecdote about Barbara Bush, something that appeared to happen circa 1950, when all the children were young (or not even born yet).
The Bush family at the time, while becoming affluent, was still living a rather modest life, and had a part-time housekeeper, down in Texas.
One summer it was decided Barbara Bush and the children would go up to Connecticut, to visit the ancestors. Because of straitened finances, though, they would have to drive up there.
Well, there were three or four very small children, at least one an infant, and Barbara Bush would have to do all of the driving herself. So someone got the idea that the part-time housekeeper might be interested in taking the trip too.
Problem. The part-time housekeeper would go, but she was reluctant to go.
The part-time housekeeper was black, and they had to go from Houston to Washington, D.C., on their way to Connecticut, through Jim Crow areas. In other words, she would have to sit outside in the car while the mother and children ate in restaurants, those sorts of things. And restrooms, and things like that.
Barbara Bush would have none of it; she fixed a whole series of picnic lunches, and the family went from Houston to Washington, D.C. nonstop, sparing the part-time housekeeper any of these indignities.
One doesn't imagine Shelly 0bama or even Hillary Clinton being considerate like that.

oh.
thanks Terry for finding it. :bow:
I do wonder though, if any of those using the phrase have read the entire conversation put in proper context as the snopes person explained it.

Not that it matters, but for acurracy - they lived in Midland at the time.

Leftist Robin Williams is in the hospital for the exact same thing

You know that I'm abysmal with the geography of Texas; I can always place Amarillo, El Paso, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston, but the rest of the state's a blank slate to me.
I knew the Bushes had lived somewhere else in Texas, and if one had said "Midland," I would have assumed Midland's a suburb of Houston, one of those bedroom communities, and used "Houston." Everybody knows where Houston's at.
Until recently, I thought San Antonio was perhaps at the bottom-most tip of Texas.
I've heard of San Angelo, and suspect it's in the center of the state.
And Austin is w-a-a-a-a-y down there somewhere.
During the early 1990s, I used to get irked when watching the U.S. House of Representatives on C-Span, and Richard Armey (R-Texas) was on. He was always identified with some obscure little town, and it frustrated me. Northern Texas? Southern Texas? Eastern Texas? Western Texas?
Later, I learned it was a suburb of Dallas and Fort Worth, and wondered why C-Span didn't identify him with one of those two better-known places. Not many people watch television with an atlas near at hand.
My lack of knowledge about Texas isn't malicious or lazy; it's just that my "orientation" is north and east, not south and west. I can describe the geography of New Jersey or Connecticut, for example, in encyclopediac detail.
With California, it's worse than with Texas. I can place San Francisco, Lost Angeles, and San Diego, but that's it. I have a vague idea Fresno's somewhere down there in the southern half, along with Barstow, but am never quite sure.
edited to correct "Barlow" to "Barstow;" sorry for the inconvenience
-
I saw a clip of the elder President Bush last night at a press conference with the doctor who did Mrs Bush's surgery....he teared up several times....especially when talking about how they so appreciated the outpouring of care and prayers for Mrs Bush.
While it made me a tad teary myself to see him do that....I found it also, so very endearing. While he was embarassed over his show of emotion...it was very obvious that he deeply loves his wife after, what?, around 60 years?
Not as many marriages last that long these days....it was neat to see.
Prayers for both of them and for their family....
-

Of course.
Only those with severe mental problems could possibly dislike Barbara Bush.
I had a rigidly ideological in-law, a Democrat, liberal, and primitive, but she wasn't unhinged enough that she disliked Barbara Bush; in fact, she rather liked her.

They're addicted to hate. They have always been addicted to hate.
Now that their primary enemy is vanquished they have lost the ability to focus their hate and bitterness in a coherent direction.
I think hate is the only emotion they are capable of feeling. If they are not happy about getting the communism they wished for, then they cannot be happy about anything else.

Once upon a time some land speculators took a group of prospective buyers on the train. They took them to a spot between Dallas and Fort Worth, which was far out in the sticks at the time. They drew lots on a sheet and auctioned them off, someone went around handing out what he called the Irving Index newspaper.
Irving, TX was born. You might know it as the former home of the Dallas Cowboys, the home of the Boy Scouts of America and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. You might even know that its northern neighbor is one of the largest-busiest airports in the world. That airport actually has zoning power over the city, thanks to idiot state legislators.

That's it; Irving.
If I had been Richard Armey (it might have been a different congressman from Texas identified as "R-Irving," though--this was a long time ago), I would've insisted that C-Span identify me as "Richard Armey (R-Dallas-Fort Worth)", because as mentioned, not everybody has a handy-dandy atlas with him when watching television.
-
That was a nice story, Frank. They've been married for 64 years. My mother was in the hospital for a very long time after her open heart surgery. She was younger than Mrs. Bush, but this was 20 odd years ago. It did not go well thereafter, my prayers are with the Bush family that hers is better. My throat tightened, too, watching Bush Sr. this morning. He truly loves his wife.
I cannot believe the hideous start of this thread. I'm speechless. What in God's name did this nice old lady ever personally do to them? They are acting like she's Hitler himself. Aren't they getting the least bit embarassed by their threads? I would be so ashamed to be part of that group, I'd quit the forum.

Hot damn.
I always envisioned Lubbock as being way down, not way up.
And after correcting my impression of where San Antonio is located, I had thought Corpus Christi was clear down at the bottom of Texas, but apparently not.
I always considered Waco a bedroom community of Dallas-Fort Worth.
Thanks, sir; like I said, my ignorance isn't malicious or a lack of intelligence--it's just that Texas (for NO negative reasons) wasn't ever in my sphere of interest. For example, I've never been there, I have no relatives down there, and the Texans living in Nebraska (legally) have birthplaces further south than Texas.
