Did the idiot son fly to Houston to hold his mom's hand? I'm

[babylonsister]

assuming so, but haven't read about it. Anyone know?

[Posteritatis]

1. Not my business, couldn't get upset about it even if it was (nt)

[Ian David]

2. I assume he's playing golf. n/t

[guitar man]

13. yep

"Mom's about to kick the bucket and the 'ol man ain't far behind, so I'm gonne get even richer....now watch this drive!!"

:rofl:

[bbernardini]

3. Umm...what?

Gotta admit, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[babylonsister]

6. Babs had heart surgery yesterday. I was just wondering if

the dim one was in evidence. That is/could be a big deal for most families when the matriarch gets ill.

7. Babs had a Cheney procedure

4. Idiots can't fly

they don't have wings.

[lutefisk]

5. I assume they kept him away- with his "reverse-Midas-touch" curse and all...n/t

[Ishoutandscream2]

8. Betcha he wasn't there.

Wouldn't put it past the grand narcissist.

[Captain Hilts]

9. He's much closer to his mother than to his father. nt

[alfredo]

10. He's a momma's boy. He even shares her nasty disposition.

[demokatgurrl]

14. Interesting- I had heard or read the opposite

That she thought he was a complete loser and berated him over it.

[alfredo]

19. Parents never berate their kids. they both show callousness toward the poor.

Remember her saying she didn't want to waste her "beautiful mind" over flag draped caskets. She didn't care that her son was sending kids to die in an unnecessary war.

[Ganja Ninja]

11. Betcha he was drunk. n/t

[Captain Hilts]

15. Unfair. nt

[biopowertoday]

17. The article say the Bushes choose not to notify the family

until after the procedure.

[babylonsister]

18. Oh please. I can't even imagine

my dad going through something like this and not being 'notified'. If true, that speaks volumes about the family dynamic.

[DS1]

20. that's a pattern with them, just like Bush's sister who just stopped showing up one day

[ejpoeta]

12. i'm glad that barbara bush is ok and all, but....

when i hear about one of these people going and getting an operation and they'll be in the hospital for a week to ten days yada yada... all i can think is how it must be nice to be rich and have insurance. now, i have insurance. but i wonder what kind of care one of us would get vs them. a week in the hospital vs... probably a couple of days? maybe i am wrong, but i feel there is such a disparity.

[backscatter712]

16. I'm sure this will bring up W's ... issues...

Who here has read Bush on the Couch?

[ConcernedCanuk]

21. No - but he did call on the phone

.

and didja know - they put part of a PIG's heart in there

"I've been a nervous wreck about it," the former president said, choking back tears a day after his wife spent 2 1/2 hours getting a replacement valve from a pig at Houston's Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center."

(That's from Bush 1 - her hubby)

/snip/

The former president said he was reassured before the operation but never considered it routine "when you come in and put a pig's valve in your wife. It's scary. I didn't know anything about it."

/snip/

Bush said their oldest son, former president George W. Bush, had called Wednesday, and that President Barack Obama and ex-presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton also called.

There's gotta be some smart remark about having a pig part in there
