Maureen Dowd: George H.W. Bush Called Trump a Curse Word, Threw His Shoe at TV When He Appeared
Breitbart ^ | 5 Dec 2018 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/05/2018 3:17:37 PM PST by detective

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd said George H.W. Bush called Donald Trump a curse word and threw his shoe at the television when Trump was on.

Dowd said, “I think, you know, that Donald Trump would be incomprehensible to him literally. And even that was 2011, so in our wildest imagination we couldn’t imagine that Trump would be the nominee and that he would, you know, eviscerate H.W.’s dream of Jeb in the White House with two words, ‘low energy.’ All of that was unimaginable.”

That's OK, Mo - whenever I see one of your columns, I call you a Behar, and think of the lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Maureen is just ‘disremembering’ the time in the ME that a Muslim reporter threw a Shoe at junior Bush.

No I’m wrong. It was 2 shoes.

Mo is just a tetch forgetful…and also stupid. And smells. And is a bitch.

Just part of the continuing narrative, “Trump and Family Bush in Feud, Irreconcilible Differences Cited”.

Never was and never shall be. Sure, Trump chided Jeb Bush for “low energy”, but was he wrong in that assessment? And Dubya had the “wrong war in the wrong place”. But since when is anybody beyond honest criticism? Family Bush is not without its own dark side, and sometimes the criticism is justified.

Donald J. Trump does not pick fights. His “enemies” choose themselves. But when attacked, The Donald counter-punches with singular and sometimes highly spectacular results, almost always highly effective.

There is a great amount of mutual respect between the Team Trump and the Family Bush.

Isn’t that interesting and yet, when Jeb was running to be Florida’s governor who did Daddy Bush and little Yebby go to for a donation? Who held a black tie fundraiser for Yeb?

Why none other than the curse word himself, Donald Trump.

The woman who called the war hero “a wimp” each and every time she wrote in the Times. What a hypocrite and what an ugly old maid.

Jeb was never going to be the nominee. Trump just hastened his demise in the primaries a bit. In the improbable event that the Republican Party had been stupid enough to make Jeb the nominee, he would have lost badly to the Hildabeast. So Trump is not the reason that GHWB did not live to see a second son in the White House.

And if HWB did throw a shoe at his TV, it was because he knew Trump was going to try and untangle the web of globalism that took people like Bush more than a century to weave. I have no doubt President Bush was a friendly, charitable person to those close to him. However I believe him to be a member of the cabal that killed Kennedy and are trying to destroy President Trump.

Did HW curse when that HillBilly adulterer draft dodger beat HIM and give eight years of disgrace and set up for more?

Didn't think so, Mareen... Didn't think so...

If HW’s dream of seeing Jeb! in the White House could be flicked away by two words, what does that tell you about Jeb?

Its funny how people make things up for the so-called “News” for sensationalism. I still long for the days when journalists and news reporters actually told the truth. Oh, those days are long gone

Barbara Bush should have stuck to her guns and not let Jeb Bush run for President.

She knew her idiot son’s limitations, and now he’s ruined the family brand forever.
