Barbara Bush to Palin: Stay in Alaska

Sarah Palin may not have the biggest fan in former first lady Barbara Bush.

"I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful," Barbara Bush said. "And she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there."

Bush, along with her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, spoke to CNN's Larry King in an interview set to air Monday.

I expect Barbara speaks for all the Bushes. And since advice is being freely dispensed, I’d say to all the Bushes: Go back to Connecticut where you belong and stay there. Those cowboy outfits never did look right on any of you.

[Will88]

what is it with the ruling class? The Bush family..all of them owe there political existance to Reagan...no one else.

True, but the ruling class believes that some things are just rightfully theirs, like the highest political offices and the highest positions in all walks of life.

[DaxtonBrown]

Well, since most people have had it up to their eyeballs and their stooge Rove, I think we all know where Barbara can stick her opinions.

[Tribune7]

Yes, I think she beat Biden.

She addresses policy issues frequently and specifically. The most recent one that sticks in my mind is her opposition to QEII.

Larry King is obsessed with Sarah Palin. He never fails to ask his guests about her, so he got his money line out of Barbara Bush, who wants her Jeb to be POTUS.

Not happening.

No surprise that the elder Bush’s don’t understand what to make of the TEA Party or Sarah Palin, but they’re in for an education on both soon.

1980 redux? You betcha! Go Sarah!

Did you hear the one about her beloved dog dying, when they lived in Houston before the WH years?

GWB went over to console her and said, "I hear you're having a dog-gone bad day."

[I see my hands]

To: Babs

Fall down stairs.

[bigheadfred]

Bet I could help her with that.

[BunnySlippers]

I didn’t realize that there was a video. I’ll watch it.

I thought there would be a transcript on LKL’s page but there was not.

[Chode]

worried she'd beat Jeb???

[BunnySlippers]

Yup, Barbara doesn’t like Sarah. She should shut up.

[SoConPubbie]

As I said, I don’t Twitter. That doesn’t sound like a substantial vehicle for stating policy.

And yet she reaches hundreds of thousands of individual supporters using that method.

Get your nose out of the air. The medium used does not matter.

What matters is the content the message how many people she is able to reach, and the content of Sarah's message is dead on from a conservative perspective and she is using every available medium to reach far more than any other candidate is reaching.

[King Moonracer]

I wonder what Jeb’s planning....We’ll take Jesse’s advice and “stay out of da bushes.”

[Will88]

Sounds like the Bushes have a bash Palin campaign going. Just a few day ago, we had a story quoting sources as saying W believes Sarah Palin is "unqualified" to be president and that he thought less of McCain for choosing her.

Google George Bush Palin unqualified

That story was on November 9, and some wanted to dismiss it because it quoted sources. But has W yet issued any clarifications? I haven't seen any.

And now we have another Bush low rating Sarah. Seems to be a pattern.

[Thane_Banquo]

I’ve heard a rumor myself that he will.

[runninglips]

Isn't it interesting that these people have no problem with telling the world their negative opinions of Gov. Palin, yet are completely silent when it comes to a Socialist like Barack Obama?

You say the most, with the least amount of wasted words. It is nice to have thoughts clarified, and you did that in one succinct statement.

[runninglips]

She'd be serving Chinese take-out if she had stayed there.

Savage is that you? That is actually a perfect Savagism from Mike, along with Barbara Boxer would have been a proprietor of a brassiere store, and Pelosi would be selling Avon door to door....back in the day of course.

[Global2010]

Who brought you out to mis perceive and bitch, bitch?

Don’t read into /sarc tags.

U r clue less.

Or are you just having a miserable day?

[johngrace]

Yes, I agree. The whole Bush family does not have to work like us. Remember the father was ignorant of grocery scanners.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If you want to see a second term for Hussein, just put her on the ticket. Simple as that.

I don’t think anybody but Palin is electable. If you want a second term for Hussein, just run anybody except Palin. Simple as that.

What I think is worth exactly as much as what you think.
