Pickles reveals what George W. Bush is "always worried about" since leaving office.
Laura Bush Is Back at the Ranch



Laura Bush in her living room.

GOOD RIDDANCE, WASHINGTON: There is a stark contrast between life in the White House and life at home. I didn’t really know I was stressed until I moved home and wasn’t.

PRESIDENT BUSH'S MOST ANNOYING HABIT: "Smacking on chewing gum."

ON THE PRESIDENT’S MIND: He’s always worried about our small lake that is stocked with bass, because he loves to fish. There’s always some concern: It’s too hot. It’s too cold. Are the fish not getting enough feed? That’s what he worries about.

2. He SHOULD be worried about federal marshals coming to arrest him
But we all know that he probably won't ever have to worry about that one

19. Bingo!! You win the prize!! Jimmy Carter probably worries
about other things than the fish in his lake.

This is not a stupid woman - does she not realize how vacuous he sounds when she says things like this?? And look at her desk - nothing on it, at all. Empty, like her husband's head.

24. Contemptuous not vacuous
I believe the point she is trying to make is the fact she doesn't give a flying fuck about war crimes, unemployment or fucking over the little people. They're more concerned about the fish in their pond because YOU JUST DON'T FUCKING MATTER. I believe that is her deliberate point.

And of course, getting the Batman.

6. "Are the fish not getting enough feed?"
Good question, since the silver-spoon born Bush the Lesser once was quoted as stating:

"I know how hard it is to put food on your family"

Uhh...nope, he didn't then, and still doesn't now, and never, ever will.

7. It snows that often at the ranch - Huh?
ENTERTAINMENT CENTER: We loved “The King’s Speech” and “The Social Network,” but what I watched this year, which became an addiction, was an old BBC series called “The House of Eliott.” My staff had given it to me for my birthday, and when we had those long snow days, when I never got out, I watched all 34 episodes. It is about two sisters who are left by their father penniless, and they develop into fashion designers.

Still with the WAR CRIMINAL, Laura?

These people don't have a clue. They've never been alive. Laura looks as vapid and clueless now as she did in 2009.

As someone once said, what a waste of skin.

39. Well, what was he always thinking about when he was IN office?
As if you needed any more proof that George W. Bush is a compete fool: When he was asked by a German interviewer to name the best moment of his presidency, the moron-in-chief came up with this:

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake."

Apparently there may have been some problems with translation, as the White House website says it was a large mouth bass. But whether it was a perch or a bass, the fact remains that the president of the United States believes that his greatest moment in office was when he caught a fish.

If it is the Fish and Wildlife Dept. of the state of Texas, I hope other citizens have access to it. The fact that Mrs Bush calls it "our small lake" has me wondering if they have their own little kingdom at taxpayers expense???

56. I wish that was all I had to worry about.
But, thanks to him and one of his putrid minions, I have to worry about how I'm going to put my life back together after those fucksticks yanked my former employer's federal funding, which cost me my job that I busted my ass off at for 20 years. I get to worry about how the hell I'm going to pay my mortgage, an unplanned dental bill, whether my 15-year-old car is going to keep running, and whether my career is circling the drain, or already down the pipes. Fuck him and his damn fish pond.
