The Bushes and AMNESTY, always has been something wrong and I doubt it’s the Irish ancestors joke.

Why not just go away ...

Well, there is at least one silver lining to this crappy lady’s coming out, it should spell doom and gloom for any chances of Jeb “Amnesty” Bushs chances at being POTUS.

More reasons why we didn’t really press for her opinion on anything and it matters even less now.

I think it's more like she likes having a maid to clean up Scotty's poop.

This running of her mouth after such a classy service as FLOTUS has really left a bad taste in my mouth in re Bush women.

Wonder if she changed diapers for either of her twins, or let Manuela do it?

The sad thing is, Laura was always the “brains” of the
George W. Bush family.

Ya know, I’m just about ready to say “eff y’all, we’re going to start profiling on the street NOW, since you were so convinced we were going to do it anyways.”

I’m tired of the BS, tired of pussy-footin’ around— heck, I’m just tired of trying to be nice to people and have ‘em spit on me in “gratitude.” FM if they can’t take a joke, and FM twice if they can.

There’s one book I can safely keep off the “to read” list.

Wow, I mean WHO is going out to buy the book now??? She would have been better off NOT promoting the book and staying at home and baking cookies.

... because, as you all know, Arizona troopers are infamous for racial profiling Irish people as they try to cross the Mexican border.

I really wish this woman would keep her mouth shut.
