And you thought all Republicans were automatic supporters of the former quitter from Alaska, Sarah Palin. Barbara Bush and former President George H. W. Bush taped an interview airing Monday on CNN’s Larry King Live. Asked by Larry King, what she felt about Sarah Palin, the former First Lady said;
“I sat next to her once, thought she was beautiful, and I think she’s very happy in Alaska, and I hope she’ll stay there.”
Larry King asked the former President about his feelings towards the Teaparty, to which Mr. Bush replied;
“I don’t know what it really is,” Bush said. But, he added, “I’m confused by it frankly.” He then added, “some of the ideas make a lot of sense.”
Although the honesty from Mr. and Mrs. Bush is refreshing especially in today’s political environment, it was short lived when Larry King asked about their feelings about the book “Decision Points,” written by their son and former President, George W Bush. Bush Sr. was asked what he thought about the book and replied;
Good. I think he’d done a good job selling the darn thing, he’d been out there all over the place. But I like it. It’s from the heart, it’s how he feels.”
Parents will be parents I guess, no matter what the child does or how he messed up… plagiarism and all!
