Oh, for the love of Pete. The frothing at the mouth going on around here over Barbara Bush's comment is beyond the pale. A little tacky, but really, big deal.

She's old, cut her some slack. Sheesh.

OK. If the interviewer gets fired, as when Newt Gingrich's mom blurted something out, I'll agree with you.

[fish hawk]

Uuummmm, Jimma Carter is old. I guess you cut him a lot of slack because of that? I always liked Barb because what ever was in her head found it's way out of her mouth. No beating around the bush.(pun intended) But there are times when what comes out of her mouth is not a good thing. This is one of those times. Give people enough “slack” and they sometimes end up hanging themselves.

Her age is not relevant -- it's the usual Bush CINO elitism that is at issue here.

"I hope she'll stay there"

Barbara Bush did not need to say anything hostile and catty about Sarah Palin -- it's not going to accomplish a thing anyway, since NO ONE looks to Barbara Bush to guide their political opinions, I trust. But why did BB have to sink to the level of the Demagogues in the media?

It's just a useful reminder of the what the Bush country club RINO elite really stands for. A decent conservative, even if not in favor of Palin for POTUS, would welcome her ideas and contributions to the national debates.

Most folks are seeing a pattern emanating from the less-than-conservative establishment Republicans. Barbara's comment matches this pattern.

Makes it less about a "little tacky" remark from an "old" person.

[Rational Thought]

She's old, but she knew exactly what she was saying.

If nothing else, Gov. Palin and the Tea Party has exposed the Elitist/RINO element in the Republican Party. It's about time these people are called out for who and what they are.

[Thumper1960]

Since she and HW are so danged old, it’s best they keep on the “reservation” and avoid making those senile comments.

A little tacky, but really, (NOT A) big deal.

[mrspeelwerneeded]

What is really galling about this is that the Bushes act as if they are so above the fray and don’t want to intrude and mudsling, yet here is Barbara opening her trap on this when they say nothing about the current radicals in charge. She lost all respect with this. She needed to STFU, but this is what we get and silence to the fight for this country.

[BooBoo1000]

Cut her some slack my A&&. She was never elected to anything, and all she did was make the beds and make sure supper was ready. She has no more standing than anyone else. I sure wish these wannabes and never we res would just shut up. My Momma taught me if you cannot say something good about someone don't say anything. Rant,

[MamaB]

She is old enough to know better.
