...because our lives are so damn interesting

What the f*ck?! Part 2

This was pointed out to me today... from 2003, Barbara Bush's take on why we shouldn't see the flag-draped coffins of those returning from Iraq... dead.

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths. Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

This is relevant today because apparently the "total denial" gene gets passed from mother to son.

BTW, notice in the article about Barbara Bush that they reference 700 American deaths in Iraq. Hopefully Mrs. Bush hasn't had to think about the over 1000 more who have returned in flag-draped coffins since.
