They must have invited him to the White House once or to watch them play golf.
She was indeed a grande dame. She was very liberal (she was from Rye, NY, which at her time was all wealthy old-money), but her manner was courteous and polite even to more conservative folk.
She wasn’t nice though.
Bush’s funeral will be held at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas
at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 21. The service is closed to the public. Mr. and
Mrs. Bush have been devoted members of the church since the 1950s.
Mrs. Bush will lay in repose between noon and midnight on Friday, April 20
at St. Martin’s Church.
After the service, there will be a funeral procession from Houston to College
Station that will proceed through Memorial Park. The motorcade will go north
on Westcott, then up Highway 290, Highway 6, into College Station via Texas
Avenue. The procession will turn left on George Bush Drive, and right into the
library on Barbara Bush Drive.
Mrs. Bush will be laid to rest next to her daughter, Robin, who died from
Leukemia at 3-years-old.
Bush crime family: all fine and great people!
Rush is pure class and a great American.
I honestly am shocked by some FReepers (almost hate to acknowledge them as such) who spew bile about a just deceased woman, a former first lady.
Some people have a chip missing & were obviously have no sense of etiquette. I am repulsed by some comments I’ve seen on here.
No were
I would have mourned, except for how they have acted about Trump.
Why? Barbara Bush was a progressive, not a conservative, and she made no bones about that. She had a history of talking down to conservatives like the people that post here at FR (this is a site promoting conservatism, after all). Perhaps speaking poorly of her at the time of her death is poor form, but those Freepers that are posting ridiculous praise for this woman truly need to give their heads a shake.
I asked her how she could stand living in Washington, DC, and she replied with a huge smile, "Oh, I love it, of course! George Bush is there!" She meant it, too. No matter what you think of the Bush family as a whole, know that she was loaded with good old gal class, and loved George H. W. with all her heart.
I saw her twice after that, years apart, and she remembered me both times.
I always liked her and admired her spunk.
I was sorry when she turned on Sarah Palin and Trump, but particularly Sarah.
Today is no exception.
Same here.
She was mean spirited
They are evil read about that pedophile ring Bush st was involved in that is real not conjecture
she was a grand old dame.....the likes we won't see again for a while with no replacements in sight...
and politics isn’t everything....it used to be one could believe in different things and wouldn’t be hated for the rest of their life...
