Could you imagine the older Barbara Bush on a drunken rampage? She's crazy enough sober!

I'm reminded of the movie title
Those Old Broads when I think of Barbara pere. In this case, the grand Ethel Merman kinda broad, magnificent and in full flower. The one you had no doubt kept the White House press corps in line during GHWB's own tenure there. Crazy like a fox, sir---crazy like a fox!
That said, I don't think there's much doubt that booze and GOP first ladies tend to go together. But even Betty Ford (or Pat Nixon) could not hold her hootch like Barbara the Great. Bring out the tequila shooters, and my money's on her.
