Old Ebbitt Grill<\/a>,” which is a restaurant right across the street. And I said, “Why?”<\/p>\nHe said, “‘Cause they don\u2019t eat. They eat like birds. If you\u2019re hungry and you want to eat something, we better eat before we get in there \u2019cause dinner is gonna be nothing but a water bowl.”<\/p>\n
I said, “Okay.” So we went to the Old Ebbitt Grill, and I didn\u2019t have very much to eat because I wasn\u2019t there to eat. And then we got to the White House. We went in the diplomatic entrance, and they escorted us up the elevator to the residence. And there\u2019s nobody there, other than the Secret Service and the White House staff guiding us. And out of nowhere, President Bush\u2019s voice is heard, “Rodge? Rodge? Is that you?”<\/p>\n
Ailes said, “Yeah, Mr. President, it\u2019s me.” He comes out, he had just finished a jog, he\u2019d gotten dressed, came and grabbed my bags and started walking down the hallway toward the Lincoln Bedroom. And I am apoplectic. I cannot have this, cannot have the president of the United States carrying my luggage. So I said, “Mr. President, no, no, no, let me grab it.”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GandBarbBush.jpg\")
“No, no, no, come, let me show you.” He gave me the quick tour on the way down the hall and then some brief historical information about the Lincoln Bedroom. So after a little talking, we got into the presidential limo and sped over to the Kennedy Center where there was a performance of something going on. The Bushes were gonna leave at intermission. At intermission we went down and met the cast and so forth. We went back to the White House and sat down and talked campaign when we got back in the president\u2019s study.<\/p>\n
But at dinner, Ailes was right. It wasn\u2019t very much. And at the end of dinner, the waiters brought out a finger bowl for all of us. And Mrs. Bush was looking at me with gigantic eyes because I guess she thought that I didn\u2019t know what it was. She saw me pick up a spoon, and I think she feared that I thought it was soup or some kind of clear looking dessert, because she immediately picked up her silverware and positioned it properly, as you would for a finger bowl.<\/p>\n
By the way, there was nothing on the menu that would have required a finger bowl. You know, a finger bowl is fried chicken, touching the food with your hands, but there was none of that. And she was prepared, you know, like Queen Elizabeth, the old story that somebody at dinner with Queen Elizabeth that didn\u2019t understand anything, and was using utensils the wrong way. And rather than the queen embarrass the guy and call him out or have somebody else do it, she began to imitate the way this guy was using his utensils, and it relaxed everybody.<\/p>\n
And I fully thought Barbara Bush was gonna pick up that finger bowl and start drinking from it, because she thought that\u2019s what I was gonna do. But I, of course, as a refined and sophisticated person from Missouri, knew exactly what the finger bowl was. I had just goofed up in how you arrange the silverware in preparation for it and then to set it aside. ‘Cause the waiters sit it at your place setting as though it is an item, rather than off to the side where you, the diner, are supposed to move it.<\/p>\n
(interruption) Oh, we had finger bowls every night in Cape Girardeau, yeah, with the okra and the soybeans and the collard greens, absolutely. We had to have finger bowls every night. In fact, sometimes two or three finger bowls. When we were finished, we\u2019d put \u2019em on the floor, let the dog lick what\u2019s left. Yeah. Only kidding.<\/p>\n
Anyway, when that evening was over and we got back to the White House and started talking politics, I found out Bush\u2019s explanation for why Perot was on the warpath. And what he had told me was that it stemmed from an operation when Reagan was president, a prisoner of war rescue mission in Vietnam that the administration, the government had asked Perot to fund and to be part of.<\/p>\n
But then at the moment of truth, they didn\u2019t want him to go on the mission, and this supposedly upset Mr. Perot. They\u2019d asked him to pay for it in part, and he was a big supporter of the entire POW movement, so he thought, I guess, that he had been used by Reagan with Bush as the emissary for his money to mount the operation but wasn\u2019t gonna get any chance to participate in it.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GeorgeBushSalute.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Anyway, at this point in time nobody was taking Bill Clinton seriously. And even George H. W. Bush was not taking Perot that seriously. I tried to tell him, “I think you should be maybe taking him a little bit more seriously than you are. I\u2019m telling you, this guy is lighting a fire out there. And while you may know him personally and think he\u2019s a little off the wall and a kook, he\u2019s got a sizable and growing legion of supporters out there.”<\/p>\n
Anyway, I then spent the night in the Lincoln Bedroom. I didn\u2019t sleep much because I… I mean, who wants to be conscious when you\u2019re in the White House? The Lincoln Bedroom, by the way, was never a bedroom. It was Lincoln\u2019s office when he was president. It\u2019s on the second floor with the residence. I got up the next day and flew back to New York for the radio program, and it wasn\u2019t long before the Drive-Bys found out about it.<\/p>\n
The Today show\u2019s calling, asking me to show up and sit for an interview with the perky Katie Couric to explain it. And that\u2019s where it all went off the rails with me and Katie Couric, \u2019cause she starts asking me about it and I said, “You know, President Bush is really a nice guy,” and at that moment she frowned and kind of looked away and rolled her eyes. I said, “See? See? All I said was, ‘He\u2019s a nice guy,\u2019 and look at you. You roll your eyes at the very idea might be a nice guy.”<\/p>\n
She was so livid after that interview. She said, “I wasn\u2019t reacting to what you were saying! Somebody was talking to me in my ear about something and I was reacting to that. I wasn\u2019t reacting to what you said. You just accused me of being biased in my own interview!” “It\u2019s what it looked like to me,” and ever since then, Katie Couric and I have been off the rails. Not that that bothers me. I saw Barbara Bush a number of times.<\/p>\n
George H. W. Bush was honorary grand pooh-bah for a golf organization called The First Tee, which is an organization that uses golf to teach young people the values and discipline and morals of life, kids that would never otherwise play golf. It reaches out to economically challenged poor kids, minority kids, and gets them interested in the game of golf to teach them the game so that they then learn about various disciplines, manners, honor.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a really great organization, and George H. W. Bush was the grand pooh-bah and I played in a couple of those annual tournaments with him, and one of them was in Kennebunkport where the Bushes spent their summers. At the time this one happened, George W. Bush was president, and I talked to Mrs. Bush about how proud she was. She\u2019s the wife of a president, the mother of a president, mother of Governor Jeb Bush.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Barbara-Bush.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You know, I knew how proud of me my parents were, and I hadn\u2019t done diddly-squat compared to what the Bush kids have done. I talked to her about that, and she was very, very proud. But she was concerned that… You know, I said, ‘By the way, I just want you to know, your family? to me, I don\u2019t associate political dynasty.” Oh, she was so appreciative that I\u2019d said that. She said, “Thank you so much for saying that, because people accuse us of being a dynasty and trying to own and operate this and we\u2019re not” and so forth.<\/p>\n
The last time I saw her, I called the George H. W. Bush\/Barbara Bush chief of staff, Jim McGrath, in Houston. I said, “Kathryn and I would love to come down and just…” George H. W. Bush was sick at the time. He had just gotten out of the hospital, and we said, “We\u2019d love to come down and say hello,” and they set it up. So we flew down and they met us for lunch. It was a Sunday afternoon in the spring at one of their clubs.<\/p>\n
So we got off the plane, told the driver where we\u2019re going, mentioned the name of the club (I don\u2019t remember it now), and his eyebrows went up. “Ohhhh! You\u2019re going there, eh?” I said, “Yeah, but shh, shh, shh! Don\u2019t tell anybody.” So we got in, met the Bushes, had a private table, and Mrs. Bush looked at me and said, “This club… I hope you don\u2019t mind being there.” I said, “No, no. Wherever you are is fine with us.” “This club… This club is so exclusive, they have an operating room down there. You have to be born here to be a member.”<\/p>\n
I just cracked up, because that was the classic line about phony elitism at private clubs: “You have to be born here to be a member.” She was funny, she was tough, and fearless too. And she one of these people that really didn\u2019t have a whole lot of concern for what people thought of her if it meant saying what she really believed. So it\u2019s something I considered always a great opportunity and thing to have happened to me, to be able to meet them.<\/p>\n
I was a frequent visitor to the George W. Bush White House as well. The family\u2019s been amazingly helpful to me, and I will always remember it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, Barbara Bush was at one of these… It was a dinner at somebody\u2019s house, too, and I was kind of thirsty and my water glass was near empty and the waiters hadn\u2019t come around. She said, “Well, hey, you can drink mine. I\u2019m not a liberal. You can share mine.” At one of these… At the dinner at Kennebunkport during The First Tee golf outing, she made it a point — \u2019cause she knew this irritated me. She made it a point to tell me how much that the family loved Bill Clinton, that they had grown to like Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s great guy,” and he never stopped talking, which took a lot of pressure off of them. All they had to do was listen. They loved having Bill Clinton on the phone to them when they\u2019re going to worldwide disaster relief areas \u2019cause they never had to say a word. But she knew. She knew that it was bug me that she was praising Bill Clinton, and she knew that I wouldn\u2019t say anything about it, \u2019cause, of course, I, am a person of profound respect. Anyway, she was unique individual and funny as she could be and fearless at the same time.<\/p>\n
She lived a great life.<\/p>\n
Barbara Bush.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: We start in Cincinnati. Mike, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Fine, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Good. Hey, just wanted to tell you, back in 2005 — well, the last 20-some-odd years — a bunch of us guys go to Cape Arundel in Kennebunkport in September, playing in the Kennebunkport Open. Which is a bunch of regular guys. We don\u2019t do anything special; we\u2019re not all members there. But long story short, we ran into Mrs. Bush, Mr. Bush and a lot of other people up there one day, and we were in the parking lot drinking beer, having a good time, and Mrs. Bush comes over.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait just in time. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You\u2019re in the parking lot — the parking lot! — at Cape Arundel Golf Club in Kennebunkport drinking beer in the parking lot?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, sir. Absolutely. Right after we finished our round.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Why the parking lot?<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Why not the clubhouse, the 19th hole? Why the parking lot?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know if you know this or not, but the clubhouse has no bar. It has no restaurant. It has nothing, really, but a fireplace, a coffeepot, and the pro shop. It\u2019s not a particularly flashy place. So the parking lot is where you drink beer or maybe out on the deck that overlooks the Kennebec River right there if you\u2019ve ever been up there.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right, that\u2019s a great answer for people that don\u2019t know the truth. That\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. (chuckles) So a bunch of us were in the parking lot having a few beers. The other guys were out on the golf course waiting for 41 and his guest — Phil Mickelson, funny enough — to come in and play. But I was in the parking lot with four or five other guys, and Mrs. Bush came out. She waved to us, and I said, “Hey, Mrs. Bush, how are you?” She goes, “I\u2019m just great.” I go, “Can I get a picture with you?” She goes, “Sure, come on over.”<\/p>\n
So I go over and I have a Budweiser can in my hand and the Secret Service lady says, “You can\u2019t have beer next to Mrs. Bush.” Mrs. Bush said — I swear to you, just like this — “Oh, let \u2019em have their fun. They\u2019re drinking a few beers.” Anyway, I got a great picture. She couldn\u2019t have been nicer; then the rest of them came in. There were no cameras rolling. They didn\u2019t have to be nice to us. They didn\u2019t know us. But they couldn\u2019t have been nicer. They\u2019re the nicest people you ever, ever want to meet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s excellent, and that is actually a very great point. Character. You can find out a lot about somebody by watching how they behave with people who can\u2019t do anything for them. That\u2019s one of the greatest indicators of someone\u2019s character and personality: How they treat people who can\u2019t do anything for them. Your observation that there weren\u2019t any cameras around so there was not gonna be any historical note of Mrs. Bush\u2019s behavior. In other words, she didn\u2019t have to be nice to you \u2019cause there were cameras around. She just was. That\u2019s a great point, and I\u2019m in full accord of your assessment of her. Thank you very much for the call.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Charlotte in Herndon, Virginia. Great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s nice to speak with you. I just wanted to share a couple of incidents about Barbara Bush. When we were in New York, I happened to be a guest of our next-door neighbor at the United Nations, and we went in one day to hear Barbara address a congregation of the wives of the ambassadors to the U.N.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hm-hm.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And while we were in there, she happened to look up, and in the back George was standing there with his aides or whatever. And she stopped what she was saying after she was addressing the women and she said, “George, I told you at breakfast, your presence is not required. Now go back to your desk.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: She was talking to her husband?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s the old days.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, we all just roared.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m sure, and applauded. And applauded.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yes!<\/p>\n
RUSH: I mean, there\u2019s Bush 41 being told to go back to the desk and leave the women alone. Absolutely right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, she did! And she didn\u2019t care. Anyways, another incident. We are lovers of the whole Bush family.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. In the platonic sense, of course, yes.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, ha. We were in Houston at a restaurant, and this was long after he and Barbara were out of the White House.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-G-and-B-Bush-002.jpg\")
CALLER: And they were having dinner. And when they got up to leave, they came by our table, and of course my husband and I stood immediately, and he shook hands with President Bush. And I looked at her, and I said, “I was at the U.N. one day when you were addressing the ladies of the assembly.” And she said, “I don\u2019t remember you.” I said, “Well, we didn\u2019t meet, but I was there.” And I also said to her —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, wait a minute. That\u2019s a pretty gutsy, wait a minute, now. (laughing) It that had happened to me I would have said, “Oh, yeah, yeah, that was a fun day.” Instead she said, “I don\u2019t remember you. I don\u2019t remember meeting you.” That\u2019s pretty ballsy.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Well, anyway. She didn\u2019t lack the balls, that\u2019s for damn sure. But, anyway, I looked at her, and I said, “I can\u2019t tell you how proud we all in my family are of you and your family.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n
CALLER: And she looked at the me and she got that little twinkle in her eye and she said, “Young woman, I married well, and I birthed well.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s great. I gotta go. I wish I had more time with you, but I don\u2019t. It\u2019s a shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
