Including How Secret Service Carried Him to Say Goodbye to Barbara

More like he wanted to say: "Why couldn't you kick the bucket earlier so I could have all of these other women in the open?"

His purported mistress was a woman named Jennifer Fitzgerald, I think she worked for him in some administrative capacity. The story came out during Clinton’s campaign when he was trying to defend himself against the Gennifer Flowers affair allegations. A good friend of mine worked as a bartender at a well-known restaurant outside DC - she told me before the story broke that Jennifer Fitzgerald would come in, sit on the bar stool and wail for two hours over how old George wouldn’t leave Barbara for her.

If you spend time in a government (NARA) archive, one thing that stands out-—which Oliver North learned, to his chagrin-—is that you simply can’t erase everything. There are memos upon memos, copies upon copies. People make notes of meetings the just held even if notes weren’t taken in the meeting.

North missed ONE and it nearly brought down the Reagan admin. They always miss one. So given the thousands of docs I looked at, I find it impossible-—especially in the pre-computer age-—to purge all the negative stuff.

He squandered all that Reagan had built.

He should have taken a couple shots of saki..

He got shot down in WW2 and then shot down by a hick from Arkansaw years later.

In between those two events, there still remains questions as to what else he was involved in.

From Air America to Contra to JFK and the Day in Dallas: first Ambassador to China after Nixon “opened” it up, first President who also had served as head of the CIA.. he. like Kerry, was involved in more things we don’t know than we do.

Let’s just say he got around. (He should have spent more time in a supermarket tho.. and skipped the raw fish)

I preferred someone who told the truth and didn't stab his voters in the back. Bush was the epitome of an establishment rino. Again...Reagan left him with a winning hand and he was not smart enough to play it.

JFK was killed by Russian KBG/Cuban DI’s for God’s sake they’ve admitted it Nixon’s open China policy was all Henry Kissinger backed by Pat Buchanan you know Mr. Nationalist.
Air America and Iran/Contra are all rabbit hole myths than actual facts Bush granted was mixed bag of typical northeast RINO a pretty good VP and a mush for a President.
But the conspiracy theorists myths far outweigh in absurdity of who he was than actual historical facts the Russian communist backed Alt-right and conspiracists are on par with anti American propaganda anti God and country constitution as with the cancel culture of the BLM/Antifa the Alt left.
All smiles in Moscow, Beijing, Tehran Pyongyang they’ve the goals of undoing America soon for the spoils of their fruits.

“...he fought bravely for his nation...”


Just like the left mocked Gerald Ford, who helped Michigan win two national football titles, as an uncoordinated dufus, they also called GHWB a wimp. This is a guy who flew off of carriers as a teenager. They also called his son ‘slow’, who flew sing’e-seat fighter jets. May not qualify one to be President, but no fighter pilot can be dumb.
