Noted Empath Barbara Bush: Compromise Doesn't ‘Rhyme With Rich’

The students at Southern Methodist University must have played a uniquely terrible prank on some crusty old dean, to be punished with an on-campus "daylong conference on the influence of the nation’s first ladies." Only in Texas could this be considered not "cruel and unusual." So let this be a liberal snob indoctrination to you, kids: don't get caught next time, and you won't have to deal with Barbara Bush, Sr., and her daughter-in-law Girl With Faraway Eyes Laura Bush, and their ward, beloved former national fuck-up George W. Bush, griping at you about a White House mattress that was so uncomfortable they had to send it back! CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE? Well, on the bright side, at least the students unlucky enough to attend got to hear Babs trash some non-destitute people for a change, when she took the opportunity to call the 2012 GOP primary "the worst campaign I’ve ever seen in my life."

Here is Lady Antebellum showing off "her famous wit," apparently:  

The 2012 presidential campaign has eight months to go, but former first lady Barbara Bush has already given it a bad review.

“I think it’s been the worst campaign I’ve ever seen in my life,” she said Monday at Southern Methodist University during a daylong conference on the influence of the nation’s first ladies. “I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It’s not a dirty word.”

[...]

“I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, ‘What are you doing?’” she said.

Been like that for a while now, Babs, since about 2001 coincidentally, but we'll catch you up on the rest of reality/modern history some other time! [ Dallas Morning-News ]
