Barbara Bush: Still the Nation's Best Source For Sick Humor

She asked us why she should waste her beautiful mind on such things as body bags and death.
Then, she comforted us (with a chuckle) by telling us how much better off the Katrina evacuees were hanging out in Houston's hurricane relief centers.
And yesterday, the former First Lady said it was okay for Mitt Romney to be "Mormon" (a term that is avoided by members of the Church of Latter Day Saints, but used by Larry King) because there are "wild people" in every religion. (Barbara should know--she is one wild Episcopalian.) She went on to explain: "I mean it was in 1897 that bigamy was outlawed in that church. You know we have a lot of Christian wild people too, and a lot of Jewish wild people and a lot of Muslim wild people. The Mormon religion takes care of its own, they don't have people on welfare."
In the world of Bush, that is the ultimate compliment.
While she and her husband were chatting with Larry King, George H.W. Bush remarked, without irony, that he thought the nation was suffering from "Bush fatigue," and therefore, Jeb could not run for president.

This had me in stitches. I just might be ROFLMAO for days over this one.

I was wondering what was so remarkable about her statements until I got to the welfare part. Pretty ridiculous. As for the "crazies" part, Bill Maher has said pretty much the same thing on his show, and other comedians like to say it as well.

Context, context...Bill Maher is an anti-religion comic, but Barbara Bush is a "devout Episcopalian."
Forever in infamy

Speaking of Barbara Bush—her husband is in trouble:
What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States?
It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.
