Barbara Bush has died at 92
- Thread starter Typhon
- Start date
I had a professor who did a deep study on the Bush family years ago.
Their daughter died when the kids were all teenagers and George HW was already in politics. Basically Barbara held that family together with both hands. When you figure she raised a President and a governor, gotta figure she did something right.
(Also an interesting note, that same professor was saying that the reason Bush 43 developed his terrible sense of humor was because his dad was always gone, even during that incident, and he took it on himself to always try to cheer Barbara up when she couldn't cope with that death anymore.)
Anyways, RIP

RIP to her condolences to the family I hope they keep an eye on HW Bush they were married for 73 years the guy might grieve himself to death.
I looked up how many kids she had, assuming it was just Junior and Jeb but she actually had 6 children, one of whom died very young from leukemia, can't imagine how awful that must've been for her but it really humanises her as someone I can't say I knew much about. The family must be having a rough time.
I was shocked it was just not W and Jeb until a few weeks ago when one of her grandchildren got married.
Thanks for the history lesson. I had no idea. She's dead. Heaven forefend there's a 10 second break for that fact alone.
At minimum, I think she probably didn't vote for either. She really despised Trump.
For real. I see someone got banned for speaking truth. Shame really.
I suggest people read this book:
FAMILY OF SECRETS:
The Bush Dynasty, America's Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years
This woman played her supporting role perfectly.
I ain't gonna throw shade at the woman for having a son and a husband I didn't like. Least she isn't suffering anymore, RIP.
An absolutely incredible woman. The world is worse off without her.
Rest in peace, Barbara Bush.
Rest in peace, Barbara Bush.
If you have concerns about moderation, PM an admin. Otherwise this thread is to discuss the passing of Barbara Bush, not the actions of her relatives or other public figures.
An illiterate moron puts his name to a statement about Mrs. Bush advocating literacy.
lol didnt notice that!
To be fair, Im pretty sure he didnt date it
She was an interesting woman. Spent a lot of time working on promoting literacy, and unlike most Republicans, she thought the party should butt out of abortion and homosexual issues. Of course gets the side eye like most old rich white ladies for a few ignorant statements. Would be in a much better position if even a few modern Republican lawmakers took after her.
Man watching all these memories and seeing clips I remember seeing as a child, the feels man, this shit is so sad. That's old school love those two had.
