Glenn Beck emphasizes how he’s always respected Barbara Bush for classiness, however he says her latest comments on Sarah Palin staying in Alaska are both rude and nasty:

Beck makes some good points that I didn’t pick up on initially about how insulting this was, considering that it was a high profile interview that will be heard by a national audience. My take was that I don’t agree with her nor do I care what she thinks about Sarah Palin. But as Beck points out, there was really no need for this level of disdain from her, especially since Sarah Palin has always spoken well of the Bush’s, and probably would even still today.

For your information, Italy's RAI TG3 (public TV) have reported about Mrs Bush trashing Mrs Palin. This leftist outlet (in the '80 it was called TeleKabul) think it is a news worth airing that the First Lady of the War of The Gulf (18 years ago) dissed Mama Grizzly.

This is how much they disleke her.

I don't remember her saying anything about the Bushes except that Bush "kept us safe" during the VP debate.

Mrs. Bush at least has an IQ above 110 and not below 90 like Sarah - she can see Russia from her house - of yea.

Barbara was simply stating the facts. Sarah Palin is an attractive woman that enjoys living in Alaska, and wished her the best in continuing to enjoy the great things about Alaska. There is a subtle dig, but this is hardly down to Sarah Palin level name calling and outrageous labeling.

The half term governor is a "Dan Qualye" in heels. Since we already had an idiot "W" that caused our current economic debacle, America knows not to trust in fools who think they are brilliant. One of the reason for "W" failure was his drinking, Palin just has bad genes.

Palin is an idiot. If there is anyone out there who thinks that she is capable of running this country, you are very misguided. It takes foreign alliance skills, basic intelligence and honesty. Palin has none of these qualities.

Ms. Bush was rude and she should be called on it. I think she is wrong about Palin but I will not insult Ms. Bush over her comments, I want to insult Ms. Bush but she is to old to insult.

I'm not really a fan of Barbara Bush, and never have been. George, yeah. Barbara, no. Just as while I think George (W.) Bush's wife, Laura, is beautiful and probably just as nice and friendly a person as her husband is reputed to be, we are very philosophically and politically incompatible. She's a big liberal, from what I've heard, being a proponent of such things as child murder (called "abortion" by the politically correct). Barbara Bush is probably no better, and should, like Laura, keep her big mouth shut, if she can't find anything more intelligent than that to say. As people know, I won't mince words. Hey, maybe Barbara's a nice person, when you get to know her, but politically, she needs to stay out of it. The beautiful woman that is my once-and-future girlfriend, unfortunately, was (is) a Jew-hating leftist that considered herself a "Hyde Park liberal" (you know: the scumbags that propelled Obama into dirty politics). Politically, we had (have) virtually no common ground (aside from the fact that we both hated McCain, and both agreed that in spite of that, Obama was a dangerous economic illiterate that had no place in the mail room, much less the Oval Office), and I certainly wouldn't let her represent me, politically, in any interview, nor let it be thought that I agreed with too much of what she said. I really like the Bush family, but the wives really, REALLY need to know when to stFU.

Just another Obot working for his pay, right Stain?

All of the Obot and MSM attacks on Palin just don't hold a candle to the damage done by Obama to himself his entire life...especially as Pres.

I'm not backing another Bush.

Palin, I can back and will.

Explain your position, calling someone a “crazy buffoon” does not explain why “WE can all kiss this country good bye if she touches foot in the white house ”. Explain what her positions are that you think will destroy our country. Understanding and following the Constitution does not take a lot of experience, it’s only 14 pages of easy to understand language. The one big thing the President swears to is to uphold is The Constitution of the United States of America.

As for moving to Canada, the US right now is following in Canada’s footsteps, so if you like the direction the US is going you will love Canada. I am an American temporarily living in Canada.

I agree. Jeb would want to finesse his run. Sarah is guaranteed to say what she thinks and DO what she promises. That is her great appeal to ordinary Americans.

Yeah, I fully agree with Beck's interpretation of Mama Bush's remarks about Palin.

Very disappointing.

I like the Bushes. They are a fine, loving, service-oriented family. But there is no way in Hell I will ever vote for Jeb in a Republican primary. And I have a strong feeling that I am not alone, in my party, in that.

Glenn is great. I like his radio show... miles ahead of TV show... TV too school like for me although if you want an education in history, go there. But, for hilarity, he is a barrel of laughs.

As for Babs, was this a new episode of The Walking Dead? I watched the latest one last night and did not recognize these three. Babs.... STFU.

What the left is trying to do is degrade the support she has among the right. They fear her. If they cannot get rid of her by putting everything she does down then they will work the opposite and do this instead.

The Bushes are more than dodgy and not all too bright. Old man Bush and his 'thousands points of light' and the "New World Order" sounds very suspect these days, given that it is Socialist sloganeering. No wonder that son Bush was a certified moonbat all along, big government protagonist, big spending, Sowdi suckup, supported Islamization, brought "Democracy under sharia" to the ME.... no: these people are not kosher. Give me Palin anytime over these f*kcwits!

I dunno. Seems a little harsh. I support Palin, too. But I remember Bush with his arm around the fire-chief after 9-11. And I remember his strength in the war against the Taliban & al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and the openly-terror-supporting Baathist in Iraq. He did what I prayed he would do, in regard to confronting the enemy (including his sanctioning of the waterboarding of captured AQ dons).

Now, I hated his profligate spending compromises with Ted Kennedy & Co., and his elitist position on illegal immigration, and his end-of-term willingness to attack capitalism as a means of saving it (talk about total B.S.) ...

But, compared to Obama, Bush was Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, and (even) wartime Franklin Delano Roosevelt rolled into one.

Let us keep our eye on the ball here, folks. Can you picture Obama with his arm around that fire-chief on 9/11?

I didn't think so.

Bush is part of the elite ruling class. Us commoners cannot function without being controlled.

Have someone such as Palin come out and appeal to us commoners and there is now a threat to both the demunists and republicRATS.

Everyone needs to lighten up. Barbara Bush in a direct way was saying she hopes she does not run for president. I like Sarah but she is not at the top of my list of who I hope wins the GOP nomination. People are allowed to like Sarah and not want her to run.

I would like to think that she is a nice person who wants to leave her nightmare and be free to be a human being, but can't because she fears the satanic consequences of her in-laws. I think I saw a movie like that once.

ALAS, Barbara Bush has a potential horse in the race -- JEB!!

I know he has said he won't run but how many times have politicians flip flopped?

Not sure I'd vote for him now even if he did run AND even if Obama was his opponent.

I once thought the election of Obama was the worst thing to happen to America.

I now think it may have been the best because it is awakening the sleeping giant.

If I was convinced that Obama getting re-elected would create a revolution that cleansed the progressive/communist dna from America's gene pool, I'd actually vote for his re-election.

Progressivism is the second greatest threat to American's freedom and constitution.

The biggest threat is the dumbing down of our kids in the public revisionist education system and parents not teaching their children the importance of our constitution and the principles of our founding.

What do you expect from a woman who would hand her teenage son a jar with the fetus from her miscarriage so he could take it to a hospital. That is downright weird and totally inappropriate behavior. A very strang woman.
