I am reading Barbara Bush a Memoir from 1994 She is a pathetic
name dropper, airing out her grievences and very petty.

She also thinks that there was no deep throat because no one would have been able to keep a secret.

She makes me SICK


all other details are what she ate and who she did what with so and so and museums ect.

10. Most of it is diary entries she "supposedly" wrote during said events
No one is forcing me to read it, I thought it would be interesting.


We have a 25 book reading campaign and I found myself at spring break without a book to read and I am two books behind the teacher contest so I dug this one out that I bought before W and am finally reading it.

11. I hope that you didn't spend a dime on that trash..
did you get it from the library? I wouldn't waste a minute of my time reading that tripe from a woman who is so out of touch with reality. She is one evil bitch and she spawned the worst president this country has EVER had.

14. Barbara "Knit-a-Noose" Bush has always been No. 2 on my list.
I NEVER liked that woman, even when people were saying how popular and grandmotherly-sweet she was. Bullcrap!

1) Every one of her children are all criminals. There has to be a reason.
2) She went golfing on the day of her young daughter's funeral.
3) She disparaged the displaced and frightened people of New Orleans.

I hope you didn't pay good money for that book.

16. here is an exerpt that shows just how "above" everyone else she thinks she is
" the only sour note was one male spouse who asked me when Congress was going to update laws...when was a reservist who gives up a high paying job going to get compensation for being called back into the service? They asked the wrong person because I feel so strongly that if someone has been in the reserves for 9 years gettign their education or accepting pay for their training and then gripes about serving when called, they are wrong...dead wrong. "

Barbara Bush page 427

24. Why are you reading to Barbara Bush?
Especially a memoir? And why are you allowing her to interrupt the story to drop names?
