Former President Bush jokes that wife 'steamed up' over attacks on son

[Champ]

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Speaking at a dinner event Thursday night, former President Bush joked that Barbara Bush is getting "steamed up" by the constant political attacks on her son.

"I don't know who's going to blow first, her or Mount St. Helens," the former president told the 59th annual Alfred E. Smith charity dinner.

He added: "If Barbara gets her hands on John Kerry, he might get another Purple Heart."

The former president also referenced the recent debates between his son and Kerry, saying he is glad they are over. Polls have shown that most Americans believe Kerry won all three debates over President Bush.

1. Anybody going as Barbara Bush for Holloween?

You could wear that blue hair and pearl choker and a witches hat and fit right in.

7. Pity the poor children, please

Anyone dressed like Hag Barbara Bush, would send the kids screaming back home. Don't ruin their Hallowenn. :mad:

2. It was some big surprise to her he is a moron? She raised him she knew it.

She was just as surprised as anyone else he wrangled his way into the white house.

12. Whenever I see her kids...

...I understand why Babs is pro-choice.

3. Poppy is looking pretty bad

dimson is taking a toll on him.

4. Barbara only cares about attacks on her son.

She doesn't want to hear about attacks on other people's sons.

I'm glad she's pissed. Can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

17. It's all about the Bushes

Yep, Neither Mama nor the Chimp could give two hoots about the sons and daughters being killed in Chimp's God ordained crusade..

5. "If Bar gets her hands on Kerry, he might get another Purple Heart"

Isn't it a federal offense to threaten a Presidential candidate?:grr:

9. He'll just say it was a joke, not to be taken seriously.

[Bucky]

13. Right. It's a joke when a Republican says it; a threat when we say it.

not a grrr, but a harumph

[jukes]

16. the law is specific

it is against the law to make a threat couched as a joke, also.

but laws only apply to the serfs.

19. Other people were locked up for making threatening jokes about the chimp.

big bad bar should be locked up until after the election. She's a threat to the next President of the United States.

10. f'in sickening!!!!

6. Why is she wasting her beautiful mind on something like that

It's just not relevant

8. you've been a great crowd

try the veal! :eyes:

[Crunchy Frog]

11. If she can't stand the heat,

she should learn to keep her brats out of the kitchen.

If she thought her little boy couldn't handle it, she shouldn't have let him do it. No one can persuade me that he would have run for president if Babs had ordered him not to.

[Kierkegaard]

14. I say

stick her smarmy ass in Mount St Helens and let them both blow at once. Actually, she can take her whole family along for the ride. They all 'blow' anyway.

:puke:
