Do You Hope Your Children Choose Your Politics?

Heather Maddan — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 09:57:05 PST

Barbara Bush, the daughter of former president George W. Bush, is advocating gay marriage in a recent PSA filmed by The Human Rights Campaign. It's a very public way for the 29-year-old to disagree with the ban that her father tried to put in place while in office. But perhaps her political views are more in line with her mother Laura's. The former first lady said she disagreed with her husband's opinions on gay marriage and choice in an interview with Larry King last year.

George W. Bush Getting the Facebook Live Treatment Today

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 12:00:33 PST

Celebs like Conan and Kanye have wandered the halls of Facebook HQ, but for the first time, an ex-president will be making an appearance.

Former President George W. Bush will make Facebook HQ the next stop on his promotional tour today and will be livestreaming a discussion about his new book, Decision Points. The 43rd president may not be the most popular POTUS on Facebook (that title goes to current President Obama, who currently has over 16 million fans), but George W. has gained an impressive 600,000 "likes" since he opened his page this past Summer.

George Bush Is Disappointed He Doesn't Have Grandchildren

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:40:00 PST

"So when are you going to start a family?" The questions often start after wedding rings are exchanged. Whether a couple has decided to wait to have children or they're having difficulty conceiving, prying friends, family, and strangers can often put unwanted pressure on a husband and wife.

In the upcoming issue of AARP magazine, former President George W. Bush addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather:

I'm a little disappointed it hasn't happened yet. But the more disappointment I show, the less likely it is things are going to happen on the time table I want.

Who hounded you the most about becoming pregnant?

W. Inadvertently Makes Case Against Leaving Sex Ed to Parents

Colleen Barrett — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 10:30:58 PST

By George! Get your popcorn (or pretzels?), a cocktail, and set the DVR, because tonight's Matt Lauer interview with George Bush should rival last Monday's World Series. NBC's been leaking juicy tidbits: last week we heard he asked an older woman what sex is like after 50 in front of his parents, and today we're getting a little (or a lotta) insight into Barbara Bush's patented sex talk.

The elder Barbara showed little George a jar with the fetus of her miscarried baby in it (she, to be fair, saved the fetus to bring to the hospital). He credits this with not only cementing his pro-life stance but also fostering a relationship with his mother. That would be enough to foster my post-traumatic stress disorder and, most certainly, a generalized fear of pregnancy.

George Bush on Drunk Speaking at Dinner Parties

TresSugar — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 10:30:18 PDT

"So I'm drunk at the dinner table at Mother and Dad's house in Maine. And my brothers and sister are there, Laura's there. And I'm sitting next to a beautiful woman, friend of Mother and Dad's . . . And I said to her out loud, 'What is sex like after 50?'"

-George Bush is pimping his new memoir Decision Points by recounting some bad decisions he made before he quit drinking at age 40. It's all in an interview with Matt Lauer, which will air next Monday night. It only took, what, 36 hours to outdo the Kanye quote?

Miss Your Ex? George Bush Sends Valentine to Minnesota

TresSugar — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:15:48 PST

The Internet's been abuzz about this billboard - many casting it off as an urban myth - but NPR has confirmed its existence on I-35 near Wyoming, MN. I can only guess people are so captivated by it because nobody knows how it got there. This is one time I'll give the former president the benefit of the doubt. If you manage to avoid thinking about your ex-boyfriend around Valentine's Day, you can reminisce about your ex-president instead!

Presents For a President: What Did George Bush Get?

CitizenSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 09:30:11 PST

George Bush received many splendored things from foreign leaders as president, but he couldn't keep anything that exceeded $335 in value. High-value gifts are turned over to government archives when a president's term is up. Probably for the best, though! I don't know what he would do with a sapphire-and-diamond necklace, bracelet, earrings, and ring set, worth $85,000, in Midland, TX. I mean, Dallas maybe!

Now that we know what he's amassed over eight years, see if you can match the country to the lavish gift.
