How Many More???

The text below is how Barbara Bush feels about the invasion of Iraq her son is responsible for!

The remark in question occurred early in the three-way conversation, following a line of query directed at Mrs. Bush regarding whether she found herself studying her son for verbal or visual signs of how well he was holding up under the pressure. (Sawyer: "As a mother, do you watch for strain on him?") Mrs. Bush replied that she looked for such indications in all five of her children and remarked on the family's propensity for having hair that turns white earlier than is the norm. An additional query about whether the senior Bushes, who do not normally watch a great deal of television, found themselves watching more TV during this period than was their usual custom fetched from Mrs. Bush the quote that has since earned a measure of notoriety:
I watch none. He [former President Bush] sits and listens and I read books, because I know perfectly well that, don't take offense, that 90 percent of what I hear on television is supposition, when we're talking about the news. And he's not, not as understanding of my pettiness about that. But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch him suffer.

Snopes

Well my beautiful mind cares about the loss of life and limb. But I can understand the Bushes not caring about such things because they are making millions of dollars off of this war.

*Note: Before posting I had changed the Barbara Bitch Bush caption to read Barbara "No Class" Bush, but for some reason the first one with the word Bitch got posted. I went to sleep thinking I would change it when I got up. After several attempts (with no luck in it changing) I guess the Bitch is stuck with her. Damn Internets!
