EXCLUSIVE: 'I would pull over and park so I wouldn't go hit a tree.' Barbara Bush revealed
Daily Mail ^ | 3/29/2019 | Caroline Howe

Posted on 03/29/2019 4:20:50 AM PDT by sodpoodle

Former First Lady and family matriarch Barbara Bush was once described as 'a silver-haired pearl draped howitzer'. But a combination of blows in her life in the mid-seventies sent her spiraling into a depression that almost led to her taking her own life. Among the causes of her despair was a woman who would stay by her husband George's side for more than 12 years. Her name was Jennifer Fitzgerald (circled in main, sitting beside George and in front of Barbara in 1975) and she was his aide – and according to some, his mistress, reveals Susan Page, author of The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty out next Tuesday. When George was assigned to head the embattled CIA in 1975, Barbara 'fell into darkness'. 'Barbara Bush found herself falling into the worst personal crisis she had faced since daughter Robin had died more than two decades earlier,' writes Page. 'Overwhelmed by pain and loneliness, she contemplated suicide. She would pull over to the side of the road until the impulse to plow into a tree or drive into the path of an oncoming car had passed'.

It was much worse than that. He liked and indulged in little boys, unfortunately.

She denies it, he denied it, babs never proved it.

This only serves to try to repurpose the attacks on Trump again.

I believe the story. It was hurting Barbara in a serious way. People around him realized it was an issue. If she meant nothing he would have gotten rid of her if for nothing else than political reasons. He loved her..or his libido loved her

maybe true may not be. Bottom line is all must remember source- Susan Page USA Today propagandist. There is an agenda behind this . Typical liberal MO- make accusations and smugly state targets did not refute. That is because they are not on this planet anymore

Just seven years younger than Barbara and not a striking beauty, she was flirty and solicitous and focused completely on him.

Many women don't understand how a man feels when he's got a woman who is completely focused on him. She doesn't need to be a supermodel.

On the flip side, even a supermodel will not keep a man, if she doesn't give him attention.

David cop a feel,.. I give a lot of attitude to the behavior of a 90yo wheelchair bound man. I remember the antics of my departed 91 yo grandfather - Steelworker and Marine- internal filters subject to heavy use over the years do not work as well at that age.

Read “Divorcing the Dictator” or another biography of Noriega. Noriega had special rooms in the Hotel Panama with mirrors everywhere and video cameras behind each one. He would provide teenaged cheerleaders who were flown in on special flights as “models” from places like Nebraska. Visiting Congressmen were “comped” to unsuspectingly star in a porn film with Becky Sue from Nebraska. He kept these films in a vault in a concrete bunker under “La Commandancia”. He used these films to blackmail US politicians into turning a blind eye to Escobar’s smuggling routes. Rumor had it he had one of these films staring Bush Senior from his days as a Congressman. Want to guess where the first two bombs of “Just Cause” fell?

I imagine you speak from experience, lol.

Why is the press dragging all this stuff up again, I wonder?

probably ego....Barbara did not seem like the type to constantly reassure him he was brilliant. Everybody has flaws, though.

The tech to do such has gotten much cheaper and easier. Hard to believe such "honey traps" are not more common than most think.
