Elder Bush parachutes in for presidential museum opening


COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- He's 83 and just had hip replacement surgery in January, but that isn't keeping former President George H.W. Bush from skydiving.

Bush celebrated the grand reopening of his presidential museum yesterday with a surprise jump.

14. Re-enacting his insufficient leadership time after time after time.
It wasn't tremedous courage which drove him to bail out of that plane so long ago.

Gee. Do you think it's wise, doing such dangerous things all by himself?

7. The man's a coward.
He should have jumped alone, on his own, and skipped the training wheels.

12. Keep this in mind
When the indictments start coming down, and Bush pere checks into a hospital, complaining of chest pains, and wants to get out of a trial because of poor health. In the world of the Mafia, it's pretty SOP; for former dictators, it's called a "Pinochet."

17. How soon until he buys organs and body parts for himself?
All this stunt shows is that he paid some guy to carry his moldy ass earthward and to take the landing hit for him.

Fuck him and his whole worthless fucking family.

18. He is reliving fond memories of bailing out on his bomber crew.
He is shit, his family is shit.
