[mshasta]

2. reptilians.....

They live, we die

[Not Me]

3. Babs ain't takin' a picture with that camera...

Look close, the cover is over the lens.

4. Didn't * do that with a pair of

binoculars? Sheesh, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?! :eyes:

16. I think she is looking at a digital picture

probably taken by someone else. Though I do agree her elevator does not go to the top floor.

5. She's too dumb

She has no clue, just like her First Spawn. She's no idea how to use that camera, and, since I own one of those cameras, I'll be throwing it into the fire later.

This golfing thing is a Bush tradition - the day after their three-year-old daughter, Robin, died of leukemia, when GWB was seven years old, George and Barbara went to play golf.

Then they flew home to Texas, and told GWB that his little sister wasn't coming home, that she was dead. That was the first time the boy even knew anything was wrong with his sister, with whom he was very close.

The little girl had no funeral. She was just buried in Connecticut (she died in NYC).

Barbara Bush also skipped her own mother's funeral.

Yep, there's a real Mother Of The Year, all right ............

6. Hate to rain on your parade, but

Babs is not, nor has ever been charged with responsibility for the government's response.

Although I dislike her intensely, I do not have a problem with her being out golfing.

[Stephanie]

9. I have a problem with her comments about the New Orleans evacuees

Maybe you didn't hear them?

[KitchenWitch]

11. I have a problem with them as well

but she is not charged with any responsibility. Her comments reprehensible? Yes, however no one can make her become human, especially at this late date.

[Stephanie]

12. The apple didn't fall far from the tree

Like mother, like dimson. I find her activities illustrative. YMMV.

[KitchenWitch]

14. What does YMMV mean?

I agree that her sense of entitlement and irresponsibility has washed off on her spawn...

I just do not see it as an earth shattering event that she is golfing, since she is not the pResident, nor is she in any position of authority.

[Stephanie]

15. Did I say it was earth shattering?

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary

[KitchenWitch]

18. No, but I think a bigger deal is being made of it than it warrants

But that is my humble opinion.

[Stephanie]

20. I got that

8. The scariest thing about that top photo

is all those suck-ups who are smiling at her.

10. Look closely at the second photo and put your hands over the....

white hair and you will see george w. bush thirty years from now. He is the exact copy of his mommy.

[CrispyQ]

17. You've got a good eye!

You are right! It's almost scary, even down to the down turned pouty mouth.

[Rainscents]

13. Jeez, please post "WARNING GRAPHIC!"

[peekaloo]

19. Eeewww...she's playing for the President's "Cup"?

:evilgrin:

Doesn't she usually hit the links when a child dies or something. (yes, cheap and tasteless are my middle name.)
