I didn't know Laura Bush's father died from Alzheimer's. That only makes her, and Bush's, position creepier and more inhuman. But at least it's consistent. Lesbian kid? Sell her out to the far right. Alzheimer's dad? Sell him out to the far right.
From Reuters:
Laura Bush, whose father died from Alzheimer's, said on Wednesday she admired Nancy Reagan's devotion to former President Ronald Reagan until his death but could not back her call for relaxation of stem cell research restrictions.
