Jimmy Carter builds houses for people in need. George Bush "plays Scrabble constantly on his iPad."

Bush's favorite iPad app
By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – Former President George Bush has gone high tech.

First, the two-term president hits YouTube to promote his new book.

Now, we learn he is an iPad addict.

That's according to wife Laura, who told Yahoo news it's hard to break her husband away from the popular Apple gadget.

"He reads the Wall Street Journal on it in the morning before the paper even is thrown," Mrs. Bush said.

The former first lady added the ex-president's favorite app is Scrabble.

"Scrabble is the one that George now seems to be playing constantly," she said. "Like, I'm trying to get his attention; 'I'm still here.'"

1. He can spell?

[FSogol]

4. After you have spelled "it" twice, it gets harder to lay down new words. n/t

[louis-t]

5. Naw, that's why he spends so much time on it.

Can't figger the words out. I bet the cheats.

[Bozita]

7. Maybe the GWB Scrabble game has an auto-spellchecker?

I'll bet it's built into those internet tubes and accessed through the googles.

[rurallib]

2. Good to see he hasn't stopped drinking.

[Radical Activist]

3. To be fair, Bush can't go out in public

without being hissed and booed. It must be hard for him to be a useless, disgraced former puppet.

[flvegan]

6. In other news, the iPad always wins.

[marmar]

8. You mean 'Babble'

[Bozita]

10. Perfect!

[alc]

9. Can you replace the iPad's scrabble dictionary?

It would be fun to have the Bush version that accepts words like 'misunderestimate' and 'nucular'. And add new rules "4x word score for finding 'WMDs'".

[JohnyCanuck]

11. Would you feel safe living in a house.....

that you knew Dubya had a hand in building?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. He had a photo op once...

...I'm sure others here will remember the details better than I do, and it might have even been in post-Katrina New Orleans, but there was a "Habitat"-style rebuilding effort going on and Dubya got to dress up like the construction guy from The Village People and hammer a couple of nails while the photogs snapped away. Then he left.

:eyes:

[Bozita]

16. He did a photo-op in a National Forest posing with a brand new shovel.

The manufacturer's sticker/decal on the shovel blade had not a scratch on it.

[NYC Liberal]

33. LOL, I remember that! Here you go:

The best is Laura just standing there with the hammer, not even pretending to do anything.

[hobbit709]

19. That would be my question too.

[treestar]

24. Well that's a good point!

:rofl:

[DCKit]

12. You would think spelling the same, three letter words over and over again would get monotonous.

That app must have some amazing animations.

[HughBeaumont]

13. Some REAL dumbasses on that board.

Simon

You guys will not be laughing in two more years when your man Obama goes down. He is an idiot and makes bush look better all the time!

Samuel Prime

We want him to come back as president.

fryguy34

Say what you will but Bush looks like a genius compared to what we have now....

October 28, 2010 11:59 am at 11:59 am |



OK, I'll say what I will. You're all a bunch of dumbfucks that should stop breathing. Happy?

[Touchdown]

15. Lots of points for "Tacos Rule"

But you spell that with a hyphen.:crazy:

[gratuitous]

17. Every bit as useful now as when he was president

And I can't for the life of me figure out why Laura would ever want to get his attention.

[bullwinkle428]

18. $100 says the fucker is constantly trying to play non-existent words!

"'Strategery' IS a word, mother-fuckers!!"

(Throws iPad at wall in a rage)

[Toucano]

34. +1

[live love laugh]

20. Scrabble my ass. There's no way Bush is playing Scrabble nonstop. Too ADD. Too dumb. nt

[Bitwit1234]

21. And look at how President Clinton has organizations and

raised money to help people. But it seems the Bush's are too damn self centered to do that. Another difference between Democrats and republicans that the tea bags and radical bunch of republicans don't get.

[MrScorpio]

22. George Bush really was the perfect embodiment of an American as President

A certain segment of the American people, of course... The Dumbasses.

Lazy, arrogant, obtuse, irresponsible, power drunk, self-serving, artificially pious, self-entitled, uncooperative, illiterate. self-delusional, reactionary, violence prone, unsophisticated, reckless, short-sighted, jingoistic, garish, greedy and attracted to stupidity.

No WONDER so many other mother fuckers thought that it would be a good idea to drink a beer with this asshole. The fawning pieces of shit.

Even after he screwed them over BIG TIME, the right wingers are still asking for more.

Too bad we can't ship all of these simpletons (and their hero) to the Moon, where they can cease being so troublesome to the rest of us.

[political_Dem]

38. [phone]

My thoughts exactly.

[MilesColtrane]

23. "Playing Scrabble on his iPad" is a euphemism,...

much as "clearing some brush" was.

That's what he wants Laura to think.

It really means, "rubbing one out while looking at photos of Iraqi casualties on the web".

[EC]

25. Is he drinking a beer?

I thought he is an alcoholic?

[Brother Buzz]

28. Uh, that's what alcoholics do

[Amerigo Vespucci]

30. Yep...that was on a trip to Germany in his second term.

There are other shots in the series that show Merkel seated to the right.

[Evasporque]

26. go, goo, good.....nt

[Contrary1]

27. Fine by me.

I've seen enough of him in the last 10 years. The less Junior's out in public, the better I like it.

[bulloney]

29. I think Laura actually said, "scribble" as in what he does to coloring books.

But the MSM gerbils, ever willing to cover the guy's arse, likely changed Laura's comment to "Scrabble" to make ole dufus seem more intellectual.

[Kurovski]

31. That's not a fair comparison.

George has too many mental problems to be an asset to society.

[musette_sf]

bull... he's playing Angry Birds n/t

[musette_sf]

32. bull... he's playing Angry Birds n/t

[Scurrilous]

35. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Occulus]

36. That's a LOT of three-letter words

How does he work in Q, X, and Z?

:rofl:

[lpbk2713]

37. Pic: He's thinking "BWAHAHAHA. I pulled it off."

He's not in jail yet and obviously never will be.

[Canuckistanian]

39. I guess Super Mario has lost it's charm

Good thing he hasn't discovered "World of Warcraft"

[eppur_se_muova]

40. From each according to his abilities ... nt
