Barbara Bush praises parties at Rental Show. "The linen! The glasses!"

[Bluebear]

"Your linens, glasses and dishes, and OH, the tents we have rented!" Yes, those folksy, homespun Bush's. Why, I would love to have a beer with them, THEY ARE JUST LIKE US!

Former First Lady Barbara Bush said that while she'd "likely never" rent a hydraulic lift, she and her husband--former U.S. president George Bush--were probably "your biggest clients" for event rental because "my husband loves to give parties!" She made her remarks yesterday morning as the keynote speaker at the opening of the Rental Show exhibits in Orlando, Fla.

Mrs. Bush noted that she and her husband have rented "your linens, glasses and dishes, and oh, the tents we have rented!" She told the tent renters in the audience, "We put your children through college."

With attendance expected to hit 11,000, the show features 750 exhibitors, primarily construction rental equipment, and a slate of seminars.

1. "Oh, and the dumps we've taken in your Porta-Potties!"

"Oh, wait, no...those were voting booths. Never mind!"

2. Yes, and whenever Georgie Junior gave his inspiring speeches...

...we always rented that special circus tent from you. Oh, what a delight!

He just loves hanging from that trapeze bar!

OHhhhhhhhh...my beautiful mind was so not-troubled!

3. She hasn't changed!

Notice this comment: "We put your children through college". Meaning = you're damn lucky you had us for a customer, because you could not afford to send your own kids to college.

OMG....you would think the gaffe she made at the Houston Astro Dome would have made her stop and think. She became such an embarrassment that the White House had to shut her up, permanently. Scotty mcLiar said, "she won't be making any more announcements".

She's just a piece of albino beef jerky.

5. That comment stands out immediately.

"Meaning = you're damn lucky you had us for a customer, because you could not afford to send your own kids to college."

Bingo.

4. Her husband likes to give parties?

Funny, it usually falls on the wife to schedule social obligations and give the parties. Maybe, I'm just a sexist on that matter.

6. Would you want to go to one of Bar's parties?

I don't think anyone else does either.

9. no thanks

11. I hear THAT! nt

7. Oh yes

They're just like the common folk aren't they? I hate that shit! At least Kerry knows what it's like to be poor and have a crappy job (he had a job at a bottle factory in college for money and had to sleep on a friends couch) and he still paid child support for his children even though his wife didn't need it.
