The Thinly-Veiled Hostility Family
Posted by Jill | 12:53 PM

Hoo boy, are the Bushes the most passive-aggressive family in America, or what? I'm starting to think MY family's sane next to this bunch.

First we had Laura Bush having a speech written for her that trashed the entire family into which she married (and I'm not the only one who sat there with my mouth open, wondering how something so unrelentingly hostile made its way into the White House Correspondents' Dinner), but now I read at Hoffmania that the old battle axe herself, old "Bar", has smacked down her own spawn by informally adopting none other than Satan himself, Bill Clinton:

Former first lady Barbara Bush introduced the former presidents, acknowledging that her husband and his political rival are an odd coupling. She admitted she's since decided to allow Clinton to refer to her as 'Mom.'

''We have been hearing a lot about them recently,'' Barbara Bush said. Forget about Tom Cruise and whoever he is dating now. Forget about the desperate housewives. Everyone is talking about the odd couple, George and Bill - or as I now call him, 'Son.'

Clinton turned red, reaching out and touching George Bush's arm as he laughed.

''Every family has one, the wayward son who drifts off the political reservation,''


That sound you hear is C-Plus Caligula's teeth gnashing.
