Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

Fun with Barbara Bush

    Erstwhile First Lady Barbara Bush has been  making media rounds this week, promoting  her new book, "Reflections: Life After the White House."  First, this exchange on Sean Hannity's show yesterday:

HANNITY; Well, and even your son. The worst that he ever said about the Clintons was "We're going to restore honor and dignity to the White House." But yet Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton are out there almost daily as monitors of almost every single decision that your son is making.

MRS. BUSH: Well.

HANNITY: What do you make of that?

MRS. BUSH: I can't say. We took a vow that we would not speak badly. But that's just - that's just too bad. And it's, well ...

HANNITY: Look, I don't want to push you in a direction you don't want to go. I'm not - I'm not - we're just glad you're here with us.

MRS. BUSH: Well, it is - I appreciate you're saying what a lot of people think

    On Tuesday she appeared with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show.  The real pearl came from guest Abby Julo, however.  If you haven't seen this precious little 3 year old perform, you've missed quite an experience.  She is unstumpable when asked questions about politics, or political geography, and has appeared on every television show from Oprah to Letterman.  Anyway, she followed Barbara Bush, and at some point Leno, thinking he could trip her up, asked if she could quote something Mrs.Bush had said. She (correctly) responded:

ABBY:  Yes, I have something.  "I married the first boy that I kissed.  When I tell my children that they want to puke."
