"Bush's husband?" How crass. I guess it's too much trouble to say "Mrs. Bush was driven to the hospital by her husband, former President George H.W. Bush." Or, "Mrs. Bush's husband drove her to the hospital."
I don’t think the wording meant any disrespect. The proper ID of “former President George H. W. Bush” was used just a few sentences before, and it would have been redundant to repeat it. Take it in context.
It's just another malicious, homo-obsessive liberal "gotcha." First, by leaving off any reference to the president, it's an insult to him (gotta get that in, of course). Then, by leaving off the "Mrs.," the last name alone references, by long usage, towards presuming the male Bush, rather than the female Bush. Then comes the sheer liberal joy of "making Bush homosexual" by giving the presumed "him" a "husband." And finally, when you figure out what happened and are irritated by all of this idiocy, then (of course) your irritation means you're homophobic!
Liberals are like little babies playing with their own dirty diapers and wanting praise for their own filth. They put enormous amounts of work into coming up with these twisted, hateful perversions of common decency. The least we can do is acknowledge how pathetic their depraved little lives really are.
