re:The Bushes shouldn’t be getting within a thousand miles of that place. They ought to know better.)))

Abso-freepin'--lutely.

But the Glamour of the Kennedys seduces the Bushes. They long to be accepted into the circle. Laura so wishes to be embraced by the Irish TRASH. They hold honest middle-class conservatives in contempt....those poor white trash. Don't ask me anymore to contribute to any libraries for W, Laura. I know you wouldn't sit down at a table with the likes of me.

Fie on the Bushes.

[STARWISE]

Oh my goodness .. that is so nasty and offensive.

Is there no decorum and civility left?

[Bellflower]

Most likely the Bushes would go out of a sense, albeit misplaced, of duty and decency.

You have no idea what Laura Bush would or would not do.
What’s with the “Irish TRASH” comment? Are we, perhaps, seeing a resurgence of !9th Century Racism?

The Bush family does what is proper.

If he didn’t go, we would be treated to stories about his “guilty conscience” about the war, about how he was afraid to face Obama, about how he was always overwhelmed by Kennedy’s personna, etc. etc.

It’s proper for him to go. He’s not going to be giving the eulogy, just sitting in a pew.
