Doesn’t look like former First Lady Barbara Bush is a big Sarah Palin fan.
In a taped interview scheduled to air Monday on “Larry King Live,” Bush was asked for her thoughts on the former vice presidential candidate.
“I sat next to her once, thought she was beautiful, and I think she’s very happy in Alaska, and I hope she’ll stay there,” Barbara Bush said.
Former President George H.W. Bush was asked for his thoughts on the Tea Party.
“I don’t know what it really is,” Bush said. But, he added, “some of the ideas make a lot of sense.”
Both Barbara and George said they enjoyed their son’s book, Decision Points.
