That is the hallmark of Alzheimer’s. My dad had a joke, a harmless one, and before the disease robbed him of speech, he’d tell that same innocent joke to EVERYONE not knowing he did it that often. Sounds like Bush is trying his David Cop a feel joke on everyone, with no filters to know not to. Barbara knows he does it every time: it is her fault if she doesn’t steer him AWAY from posing next to women. Ronald Reagan wasn’t trotted out for selfies.
I hate the man for his lifelong actions, but he is mentally incompetent and this behavior is no longer his fault.
What if you learned that he has been telling that joke for more than thirty years?
