Former U.S. first lady Laura Bush is going public about a car crash in Midland, Texas, that claimed the life of a high school friend when she was 17.
In her new book, “Spoken from the Heart,” she describes how after getting “sh*tfaced” at a friend’s party, she plowed into another car on her way home, killing the driver.
“We were drinking boilermakers while playing strip poker. I was completely naked and fall-down drunk. I should never have taken those Quaaludes after that, but those were the 60s. Free love. Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll! Those were fun times!
So around 2:00 in the morning, I decided to go home. It took me like 10 minutes just to remember how to start the car. Man, I was sh*tfaced. How I made it as far as I did before running into somebody is a credit to my ability to handle drugs and alcohol. I could drink almost anyone under the table, as George would find out.
So anyway, on the way home, I stopped at like three stop signs. The forth one I said “f*ck it” and just barreled on through. There just happened to be another car going through at the same time. Just one of those things. My car got totaled and the driver of the other car died. We both suffered.”
Laura Bush bristles at criticism thrown at her husband, former President George W. Bush.
“It’s not George’s fault he fucked up the country. The American people voted for him!
Well, the Supreme court handed him the presidency in 2000, but then the American people re-elected him! What f*ckin’ morons!”
She says his New Orleans flyover after Hurricane Katrina was in the best interest of victims and aid workers.
She criticizes Democrats for calling her husband “an incompetent leader” and a “loser.” She says that was “uncalled for.”
