His paintings made news worldwide, but it turns out that former President George W. Bush has been working on another, highly personal project since leaving the White House: He has quietly completed a biography of his father, former President George H.W. Bush.

Wonder who really will write. Or will they sprinkle it with some of these famous Bush phrases? Like saying how OBGYN doctors express their love to their patients?

reasonable price. Ten bucks plus forty bucks shipping and handling.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
Memorandum
TO: SAC, HOUSTON DATE:11-22-63
FROM: SA GRAHAM W. KITCHEL
SUBJECT: UNKNOWN SUBJECT;
ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
JOHN F. KENNEDY
At 1:45 p.m. Mr. GEORGE H. W. BUSH, President of the Zapata Off-Shore Drilling Company, Houston, Texas, residence 5525 Briar, Houston, telephonically furnished the following information to writer by long distance telephone call from Tyler, Texas.
BUSH stated that he wanted to be kept confidential but wanted to furnish hearsay that he recalled hearing in recent weaks, the day and source unknown. He stated that one JAMES PARROTT has been talking of killing the President when he comes to Houston.
BUSH stated that PARROTT is possibly a student at the University of Houston and is active in political matters in this area. He stated that he felt Mrs. FAWLEY, telephone number SU 2-5239, or ARLINE SMITH, telephone number JA 9-9194 of the Harris County Republican Party Headquarters would be able to furnish additional information regarding the identity of PARROTT.
BUSH stated that he was proceeding to Dallas, Texas, would remain in the Sheraton-Dallas Hotel and return to his residence on 11-23-63. His office telephone number is CA 2-0395.
Another question to ask is why he found the mention of a "deluded gunman" so funny at Gerald Ford's funeral?

(70,684 posts)Jonathan KARL of ABC, the biggest BFEE bootlicker aside from Brit HUME, will be sure to feature fawning reviews and exclusive interviews with Shrub. Every time he substitute-hosts on This Week, he finds a way to propagandize some BFEE enterprise, usually about Jeb Crow Shrub. A couple of years ago on Father's Day he had a barf inducing segment with Poppy as Father of Our Nation.
As for Poppy quotes, how about what he said to reporters asking about the various Shrub spawns' criminal businesses, "My boys have a right to make a living!1"
