The entire Bush family are/were grifters. W with the Texas stadium scam, Neil with Silverado (I almost got into a fist fight with him once), HW and Babs were involved in all sorts of pump and dump stock scams and shaking down Houston businesses and even the school district.
None of them ever worked a day in their lives and the PR flak BS about how they would send nice notes to people about all sorts of stuff was totally contrived. In all of them Barbara Bush was the absolute worst. She was all about the money and in private was brutal in the way she traded influence for money. She was not a nice old grey-haired lady.
I hear babs swore a lot
