I heard Barbara married George against her families wishes at 25. Seemed an independent lady.Franklin Pierce. She was Barbara Pierce before she married HW Bush and HW Bush was shot down in World War II and was rescued by the USS Finback a submarine. Had he not been rescued he likely would have swam to "safety" on Chichijima Island in the Bonin Islands...American/Allied POWs captured/held on Chichijima were eaten by their Japanese counterparts.She was also related to another former president, forgot which one but it was someone a long time ago.Yeah Babs passed away, 92-93 years old is a pretty good run. You know it's rumored that she was the daughter of Aleister Crowley? Kind of looked similar but whatever.
Crowley is one of those historical figures who people say "That person was evil" or "that person was the devil incarnate" ....and you study up on him and it's like Rasputin.....he did some unseemly things and was a bit crass but nothing that is historically proven was all that terrible now the shit that he's accused of Black Masses murder sacrifices etc yeah those are bad but what was real?
Well that was a little rabbit hole to go down....back on topic
Meanwhile as fascinating as that fete was George W. Bush got a DUI in 1970's Texas which is pretty fucking incredible as it would take an ungodly amount of booze to get one of those during that time period AND as a Bush too.
George HW Bush was big into the CIA and is one of the quintessential Establishment Republican. I don't think or wish ill on the man, but he ain't my political cup of tea as it were.
Her son George had a drinking problem too.
