Uncaged Today in Old Ladies Saying Awful Things
Posted by Kevin "the Intern" Otzenberger on Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 1:29 PM
Here are a few unsavory moments, brought you by elderly women.
First, Barbara Bush un-tells a key detail of a cornerstone moment in her son's memoir, then notes she was shocked that this "Pow-La" character had put her fetus into a jar and showed it to George. (Who wouldn't be?) She then tries to turn this creepy story into a cute one before she rapidly slips back into senility.
Here, a way less famous but similarly wholesome old lady reads Kanye West's tweets, editorializing something quite clear about the new generation of young adults: we're assholes.
Take that, us!
