No Turkey for Babs

Former first lady Barbara Bush is recovering from surgery for a perforated ulcer. Some people will do ANYTHING to keep from having to sit down for dinner with George W. Bush!

Former first lady Barbara Bush was resting and in good spirits in a Houston hospital Wednesday morning following surgery for a perforated ulcer, a family spokesman said.

Bush, who was visiting with family members, probably will remain in Methodist Hospital until next week, family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement. [...]

Bush went to the hospital as a precaution Tuesday night after experiencing some abdominal pains. Former President George H.W. Bush was with her.

"She's feeling great, and he is feeling very good," said Jim Appleby, a spokesman for the Office of George Bush. "The surgery went just fine and she is recovering nicely."

Current first lady Laura Bush, Barbara Bush's daughter-in-law, said Wednesday: "She's doing great. George and I talked to both President Bush and Barbara Bush last night while they were in the hospital and they were both doing very well then."

She had the surgery, so why is everyone commenting about the health of George senior?

Could the horrible mess her son is leaving us with have caused this? It must be tough on a mom to have a son with the lowest approval rating in history.
