I think they need to just vent their anger at how things have turned out.

I lurked here a long time before I ‘joined’. I remember how much many of these people loved W - especially on 9/11. I loved him on that day, too; and still think he was a good President for his day.

Now, they all want to vent their anger at - LIFE - by taking everything out on the senile Bush patriarch, and all of that man’s progeny.

I guess hindsight is 20/20....

Alzheimers/dementia is the issue, not the wheelchair. You can suffer from these conditions and be quite ambulatory. In fact, I believe the vast majority are ambulatory, which creates many other problems. As much as I dislike the Bushes, this behavior is out of character and could very easily reflect the problem mentioned in the article. If he had done any of this during his active political life, the media and the Dems would have been all over it and would have used it.

Jennifer Fitzgerald was brought up in the 92’ campaign.

You can Google for others. Yes, there were others.

I did not like it when he caved-in to liberals and the media, but the old guy does not deserve to be humiliated over this. I am glad Linda defended him.

But the Bushes as a whole drive me insane. If they had pushed back as much as Trump they would have been great Presidents. W’s critism of Trump is unconscionable and reeks of jealousy and a sick need to seek favor from liberals — the people who hate him and think he is dumber than a box of rocks. I will never understand this.

Brought up, but not thought credible. False accusations are made all the time, especially against non-leftists - Herman Cain, Sean Hannity, Duke Lacrosse case, and many, many others. My point is that Bush has probably had dementia since his 80s and that a loss of inhibitions is one normal consequence of that. Unfortunately, dementia doesn’t explain his violation of his “no new taxes” pledge.

This article is spot-on. The women who spoke out against GHWBush are jerks. People do things at age 90 they wouldn't have done at even age 82 because their minds are going. I think the Bush family should stop letting the general public have access to George the Elder to protect his reputation.

Were there any women in his vicinity?

IT IS IMPULSE CONTROL TO SOME EXTENT. IT IS ALSO THE DEATH THROES OF SEXUAL DESIRE AND SOMETIMES THE OLD FOLKS JUST LET IT RIP. MY FIREND’S DAD WAS IN A SENIOR FACILITY. WE WENT TO SEE HIM. EVERYONE WAS IN THE DAYROOM WATCHING TV PRIOR TO DINNER. HE WAS IN HIS ROOM. HE TOLD MY FRIEND THE WOMAN WERE SO AGGRESSIVE, HE DARE NOT SIT IN THE DAYROOM OR LEAVE HIS DOOR UNLOCKED. THERE WERE 30 WOMEN AND 3 MEN IN THE FACILITY. SEX DRIVE IS ONE OF THE LAST THINGS TO DIE BEFORE WE DO.

He looked like a 92 year old man who is well cared for, which doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have said something inappropriate to anyone within a few feet of him.

Yeah, I notice Laura keeps her distance. Maybe HW has grabbed her ample butt a few times.

Tell W to stop pushing the wheelchair next to the rear ends of women. Sheesh.

Why should any of us "take up" for any treacherous Bush after W called us racists last week?

Throw them all to the wolves. I am done!!

You know what? I understand disinhibition. But as a student of human nature, I believe people become more "themselves" as they age and is is a very cautioning thing.

It is rare that I really admire someone in their eighties. It is a mark of grace that they are even tolerable. I did meet on extraordinary older women nearing the end of life, surrounded by obnoxious people who thought she was rich. When she knew her funds were drying up, she praised God for his mercy and turned off the dialysis.

HW is just becoming more "himself"---

I sort of made that point more gently: GHWB’s family should stop exposing him to outsiders.

Why be gentle? I wish the disgusting tribe would go away. W kept his mushy mouth shut when no one would look after the veterans of the wars he started. He called us white supremacists.

Why are we so stuck on stupid? His drunk daughter Barbara was in Dallas praising Planned Parenthood, probably for a big fat check.

I owe him nothing. Why do you feel obligated?

I will defend him as much as he and his son defended themselves and conservatism in general. In other words, George: you’re on your own.
