[RandySF]

Former first lady Barbara Bush was hospitalized today for early signs of pneumonia, but the family said she was "in great spirits."

"Former First Lady Barbara Bush was admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston's Texas Medical Center yesterday for treatment on a respiratory related issue," family spokesman Jim McGrath said. "She is in great spirits, has already received visits from her husband and family, and is receiving fantastic care."

Houston Methodist Hospital spokesman George Kovacik said she was being treated there.

Bush, 88, whose husband George H.W. Bush was president from 1989 to 1993, used her prominence as first lady to champion numerous civic and charitable causes, primarily as an advocate for global literacy.

5. I'm amazed at what good press she got in Sr's presidency and how bad she came off in W's

I'm sure the latter is the real her, but I wonder why the change given the otherwise absolute terror the MSM was in about offending Baby Bush.
