(Paul Morse | Courtesy of Office of George H.W. Bush | The Associated Press) This Saturday, April 21, 2018, photo provided by the Office of former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, shows Bush, front center, and past presidents and first ladies Laura Bush, from left, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and current first lady Melania Trump in a group photo at the funeral service for former first lady Barbara Bush, in Houston. Barbara Bush died Tuesday, April 17. She was 92.
I’m reminded of what Alice Roosevelt Longworth said about her father, Theodore Roosevelt, when it comes to Donald Trump being too busy to attend Barbara Bush’s funeral: “He wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral.”
