BARBARA BUSH HAS SUCCESSFUL HEART SURGERY: Former first lady (and a Pierce by birth, never you forget) Barbara Bush underwent what the cretins call “open heart surgery” earlier today. Doctors successfully removed the Jameson bottle and now she’s… oops, wrong Kennedy. You only heard about this news tonight because it would have been very uncouth to alert the public to this embarrassing affair earlier in the day. Oh, puddingsticks. [CNN]
I wish no ill upon her…I wish no ill upon her…I wish no ill upon her…
We were all hoping she’d have terrible complications and end up in a lake, right?
Thank you for posting that pic. Barbara Busch is among the formerly cute. I had no idea.
I wish her nothing but gumdrops and lollipops and puppies and rainbows and butterflies…
Well, she’s overprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for her.
Jesus, Jimmy. You’re staying up late posting to bring us this … Barbara Bush porn? And it’s not even the right Barbara Bush.
Go to bed, young sir.
Ah would this formerly pretty young lass had but had but a looking glass into the future, and had a few more abortions in her productive years. Connecticut WASPs, wealthy, discrete protestant, it was well within her purview.
If only.
“I am through with you.”
I’d hit that.
Excellent for her and the family. Truth.
Who knew that Paraguay had skilled heart surgeons?
In other news, the winter cold subsides in the North East.
Amazingly, a week after surgery, Mrs. Bush ran up two-and-a-half sacks against the AFC during the Pro Bowl.
who knew what evil lurked inside that womb… Totally Pandora’s Box!
Wow! They should use that pic of her during WWI, instead of that unflattering one of her on the dollar bill.
How could someone who looks like that in the picture turn into such an evil, man-like hag within ~30 years? Aging has not been kind to ol’ Bar. Nor has her brain which, judging by some of her crude, mean and downright racist remarks over the years, apparently lacks the filters found in most people who are not products of an endless succession of northeastern WASP inbreeding. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think she was the sister of the equally filter-less Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, whose gaffes make Joe Biden look like a prince of discretion and comity.
Sometimes your words come back to haunt you, Babs. I would wish you well, but why should I waste my beautiful mind on you?
Completely unbidden, Cheney arrives at the Bush compound with a sloshing bucket of his own bile to donate - in case they should they need some.
Surely she was the oldest living american?
“She was every American’s white haired grandmother, a size 14 who made no excuses for her evil”

Like Lady Di, she will be missed. So long funnyman.
hobospacejungle: Bar is a product of her time, [limited, women's] educational options, insular place [a whiter-than-white enclave for the rich in Rye, NY] and noblesse oblige social privilege. Despite [or because of] uttering 6 surviving live births from her uterus, she’s pro-choice.
Having grown up near Rye, I tend to grant old ladies like Bar some slack even while I roll my eyes at what they say.
hobospacejungle:
Kids today, who often confuse her with Margaret Thatcher and Ben Franklin, forget her many accomplishments.
She dropped out of college to marry a handsome young Navy pilot (http://snipurl.com/d4rmk) and bore him six illegitimate children before ghost-writing a little-read children’s book for a spaniel.
Hopefully, they found a decrepit, sewage-filled, power/communications & food-free football stadium to house her during her year-long convalescence… that(slightly chuckle) will work very well for her…
Just another drone in Japan: “and bore”.
Nevertheless, the births, I expect, weren’t exactly tedious or a snore-fest.
“Six illegitimate children”? And what about the other six? My gosh, what a randy pair.
Bearbloke: Do you kiss your enfeebled, grey-haired mother with that mouth? Just asking.
S.Luggo: My late (passed away 5 months ago) mother was just as outraged at Bab’s callousness during Katrina. I helped my mother feed herself while she was trying her best to remain alive with all the chemo, etc. - so don’t talk to me about ‘enfeebled’ people.
Bearbloke: Sorry about your mother’s passing. Going thru similar with my 87 year old mother. But, I don’t expect the really olds to be saints. She’s a Hillary idealogue. After I said I was voting for Barry, she sighed and said, “I expect that you’ll have to live with that.” I knew what she meant. As the ever dutiful son, I replied, “Free fried chicken every day? Wow.”
Bar said asshole words during Katrina, but now is not the time to grind them in, Denby’s expectations notwithstanding.
My mother was 59, and was hoping to live long enough to vote for Obama.
Bar deserves every expression of ill-will that comes her way.
I hope she recovers soon and completely so she can continue to witness the trashing of W’s policies.
Perhaps they also removed that booze-soaked fetid womb of hers…
Bearbloke: Tragic. But be bitter. Rnd.
WTF does ‘Rnd’ mean?
You’re goddamn right I’m bitter about the details of my mother’s far-to-early death, AND the blithely arrogant and public heartlessness of your surrogate grandmother Bar Bush. If you have some problem with my opinion of any member of the Bush crime-family, then tough shit.
I’m also in no great mood as I sit here going over my books, trying to decide if/how to lay-off one/two of my staff, and who it might be. Anyone here who doesn’t like my opinion of someone/something is invited to skip reading it, and go choke on a bag of dicks instead.

I sure hope her stay in the hospital is working out very well for her.
Wow, the world’s first heart implant! Who knew?
I’m just amazed they found one (a heart, that is)!
During the surgery, did they discover that her heart was two sizes too small?
TGY: No, she will be delighted at the trashing of W’s policies. It will give her more ammunition for belittling him.
…Barbara Bush got a heart transplant?! Our medical system in this country really IS screwed up!
She got the heart of a black man. She’ll be speakin jive come midnight.
Wow, what timing — Bar is in today’s Oliphant cartoon.
Just another drone in Japan:
“She was every American’s white haired grandmother, a size 14 who made no excuses for her evil”
That woman is NOT a size 14 unless she’s only 5 ft tall. Barb is built like a stevadore. Nothing wrong with that, but get the size right.
Generally speaking, heart surgery on Republicans is usually performed by stone-masons, and often involves no more than just some re-pointing.
Hey, Is she the Bomb, Bomb, Iran chick Walnuts was so hot for?
Supposedly when George asked her to marry him, he put it, “How’d you like to be buried with my ancestors?”
comradepaulson:
And Astroturf
Let that photo be a warning to all you guys out there throwing money and effort into getting some hot chick to marry you. In a few decades, she may end up looking like Barbara Bush.
Lord God, she started out looking like a young Caroline Kennedy. And Caroline Kennedy started out looking like a young Caroline Kennedy. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.
Huh, she was actually cute in her heyday, back when white women weren’t starving themselves to be size zero, then running out to get breast/butt implants.
P.S. Only the good die young. Also.
Anita Cocktail: Win.
Why has no one pointed out that her new aortic valve taken from a pig, just as Jesus intended?
To quote Borat: [George W. Bush]’s father, Barbara.
Great success!
Come here a minute: Barney’s expression is priceless.
i told you .. no more bush news unless it’s an obit. i only want to hear when about them being dead.
is zapruder still making movies in Dallas ?
Bearbloke: Actually, my mom (age 61) died about 5 months ago, too, so I’m with you. I also agree that ol’ Bar is a piece of shit.
They still call it a heart when all it pumps is cobra venom and black bile?
I give the bitch three more months. She just had ulcer surgery last fall. She’s suffering internal organ failure, folks — they’re just trying to delay the inevitable — A FULL-BLOWN CNN LIVE COVERAGE EXTRAVAGANZA: THE FUNERAL OF BARBARA PIERCE BUSH.
When you really think about that picture, you realize two things, first, that she was at one time doable, and second, that Red Foxx was right. “There’s nothing uglier than an old white woman”. Hey, he said it, not me!
The interesting thing about that photo; taken on Matagorda (trans.: dead fat lady) Island, TX, in 1943, when G. H. W. Bush was fighter training, is that he is actually in the picture unseen (buried in the sand except for his face, which she is sitting on).
Why must you sully the Pierce family name by bringing her affiliation with us? I mean sully further than the fact that we were sent over here as punishment for attempting to overthrow the king.
Dindc: WIN liquiddaddy: WIN WIN
Cape Clod: Exactly.
This man lady is a tough old broad.
She recovered quite nicely after Lieutenant Drebbin so viciously mauled her and her hanging by her granny knickers over the White House.
I hear she’s been tapped to finally play Leslie Nielsen’s love interest in Naked Gun 4 (or 5 or 6), Nielsen having finally caught up to her in age, and Priscilla Presley unable to leave her pedestal at the Madame Tussauds in Oskhosh.
While no ill will is wished, it is reported she insisted no medical personnel with Hebraic tendencies or traits be permitted to perform any medical procedure on her.
