Barbara Bush: “People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly.”

“I’m tired now of the elections,” the wife of former president George H. W. Bush said at an event at Lyndon Johnson’s presidential library, according to Reuters. “People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly.”

Barbara Bush also weighed in firmly on the side of working with President Barack Obama: “They are going to have to compromise. It’s not a dirty word.”

Incontrovertible proof that no matter what she's saying, Barbara Bush always sounds like a complete asshole.

Yes, Babs, this is all about you and what you are tired of.

I'll take it as a reflection of a certain kind of vanishing Republican that doesn't see the point of Grover Norquist anymore.

Do you object to what she's saying here? Can you confine yourself to that?

I wish the rest of her party would listen to her here, but it looks like they have become so extreme, even she and her husband no longer fit it.

And it's like Obama said, 'we the people' have to gang up on the Congress and demand they work for us.

She and Karen Hughes could take down every white male idiot in the GOP and beyond. And don't think for one minute that she wouldn't go in that alley. You'd never see her- the White Haired Ninja.
