WASHINGTON – Jeb Bush wasn’t invited to niece Barbara Bush’s surprise weekend wedding, it was revealed Wednesday.

Former first lady Laura Bush said the former Florida governor and failed presidential candidate didn’t make the cut for the small-scale, and short notice, Oct. 7 nuptials — in which her eldest daughter with former President George W. Bush married actor Craig Coyne.

“Well, I think Barbara just kept it a secret, plus so few people were invited,” the former FLOTUS told journalist Cokie Roberts, who interviewed her on stage at an event in Washington, DC.

“It was just our family and Craig’s family. And we didn’t invite Jeb

George Bush the elder is almost 10 years older than Ruth Bader Ginsburg and he STILL looks tons better than she does.

Ya know... I’m reading this again and it’s interesting that Laura Bush went out of her way to say he WASN’T INVITED. That is kind of a nasty thing to say publicly. There are a million other ways to have said it. But she chose that. There’s trouble in the family, no doubt. Maybe they didn’t want him in the pictures. SERIOUSLY, Historic pictures, TWO presidents. With him it would have been Two presidents and one who will go down in history as “LOW ENERGY.”

Maybe to take attention away from the baby bump. A hastily put together wedding, we shall see in a few months (or less).


Maybe, maybe not pregnant. The Bush’s had plenty of money to buy a gorgeous quality wedding dress for Barbara—and there are plenty of those on the rack at a good bridal salon, you don’t always have to wait 6 months to have a gown made.

The dress she wore is not a family heirloom. It looks like a white nightgown from Kohls Department Store.

Amazing. I have long believed that Laura is responsible for W’s presidency ending as a failure. She is a brainwashed liberal drone who draws her political views from propaganda such as Ellen and The View.

The death toll from Hurricane Michael would have been higher if it hadn’t been for Gov. Jeb Bush...

Bush updated code standards and put insurance incentives in place for wind mitigation. When you see newer buildings in Mexico Beach standing undamaged - next to piles of debris - you can thank Jeb Bush for their survival.

I saw the clip this was derived from and Laura didn't state it as such. Rather Cokie Roberts was asking about the wedding and was asking/lamenting why it was kept so private [from the press]. Laura responded it was kept to mostly immediate family and that even Jeb, Neil and other Bush siblings were not in attendance. IIHC, the Bush sister Dorothy was there to officiate.

That said, watching the elder Barbara's funeral spoke volumes of the family dynamics.

She didn’t want a guac bowl for a wedding present.
