Barbara Bush Background
Barbara Bush was raised in Rye, New York. Her father, Marvin Pierce, was the president of the McCall Corporation, which publishes Redbook and McCall's. The Pierces were related to former president Franklin Pierce; Barbara's great-great-grandfather, James, was his fourth cousin.After the White House
Since leaving the White House, Mrs. Bush has also engendered her fair share of controversy by making comments that seemed frivolous about topics such as television news coverage of the Iraq War and the refugees of Hurricane Katrina.Quotes
"I can't say it, but it rhymes with rich."—Regarding Geraldine Ferraro, 1984On Good Morning America in 2003, commenting on television news: "I watch none. He [former President Bush] sits and listens and I read books, because I know perfectly well that, don't take offense, that 90 percent of what I hear on television is supposition, when we're talking about the news. And he's not as understanding of my pettiness about that. But why should we hear about body bags and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or that or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that, and watch him suffer."
