Anyone know where this GHWB quote is from?
"And we rounded the corner -- I'll never forget it -- and I saw one of the ugliest and angriest women I have ever seen in my entire life. Boy, she was really bad. And she charged my car with a sign 'Stay out of my womb!' No problem, lady."
-- President George H. W. Bush


(I found it at Doonesbury's Town Hall)

3. It was a joke he told at some speech he was at along side Clinton
Clinton cracked that he couldn't get away with telling that joke.

4. From 10-15-04, GHWB fondly recalls:
It was recounted in the Philly Inquirer. The link no longer works, but I saved the pertinent part:


October 15, 2004:

.....

But the crowd roared when he (GHWB) declared his son the winner of Wednesday's presidential debate against Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.

He even poked fun at protesters outside the auditorium yesterday chanting "Bush must go." The GOP crowd laughed as he described the demonstrators he encountered years ago while on a visit to San Francisco as "the worst-looking group of people I've ever seen."

"There was one woman," he said to more laughter. "A really ugly woman. She had a sign up that said, 'Stay out of my womb,' " as Bush put up his hands as if to deny he would ever go near her.

.....




Like father, like son:


From 11-13-03:

--snip

Gov. Jeb Bush joked during a Florida Cabinet meeting Wednesday that the people of San Francisco may be endangered and, "That's probably good news for the country."

--snip

"I'm glad that Gary Coleman lives in California," Bush said. "A guy like me that believes in limited government probably would have a tough time against a fellow like that because he probably symbolizes smaller government."

There is a vileness in this family that has scarred America.

6. Reminds me the saying
attributed to Winston Churchill when a woman accused him of being drunk " Madam I may well be but by tomorrow I'll be sober again : you on the other hand will still be ugly"

7. Allegedly Churchill said this to
Elizabeth Braddock, MP. Some sources claim that it was to Nancy Astor, however, Astor was noted for her good looks and Braddock was not. The Astor exchange ascribed to Churchill is: "Winston, if I were your wife I would poison you." "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."

9. Poppy and Clinton were somewhere recently...
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 10:50 AM by Kansas Wyatt
They were speaking together and telling a joke or something. Bill got up later and said that Bush could get away with saying things Clinton couldn't, because they would be all over him if he said that.

On edit: It was actually very funny, when they ran the clip on CNN.
