Ronny Jackson told George W. Bush he sutured an intimate body part, earned nickname ‘Scrote’
Ronny Jackson left George W. Bush in stitches. The White House doctor tapped to lead the Veterans Affairs administration reportedly told Bush a revealing story as he prepared to suture the then-president’s leg. Jackson, 50, admitted that he had once administered stitches on his own genitals to console the leery Bush and execute the procedure, according to The Washington Post. “It’s okay, I’ve sewn myself up before,” he reportedly told the former president. A novice in the VA OR The tale endeared him to Bush who assigned him a nickname: Scrote. Jackson has routinely gone above and beyond the scope of his duties, according to colleagues interviewed by The Washington Post. He once helped former President Bush clear brush at his Texas ranch, and tried to help Barack Obama kick his nicotine habit by supplying him with Nicorette gum. Jackson was mocked for praising Trump’s health, … [Read more...] about Ronny Jackson told George W. Bush he sutured an intimate body part, earned nickname ‘Scrote’
Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s Pick to Head VA, Was Nicknamed ‘Scrote’ By George W. Bush
Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, the White House physician who President Donald Trump has tapped to lead the Veterans Affairs administration, is about to embark on one of the biggest challenges of his life — leading a team of 375,000 employees at one of the nation’s largest federal agencies. One must wonder whether that challenge is more daunting for the expert doctor than another he endured years prior, and later told stories about to the likes of former President George W. Bush, the Washington Post reported on Thursday. Apparently, Jackson once stitched his own genitals after suffering an accident. The doctor told Bush that performing the mini-operation on himself made him someone Bush could put his confidence in — after the president his leg open at his Texas ranch. Via the Post: One trait universally cited is Jackson’s storytelling ability. He has regaled colleagues with one particular tale about administering stitches on an intimate part of his body. He even recounted … [Read more...] about Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s Pick to Head VA, Was Nicknamed ‘Scrote’ By George W. Bush
George W. Bush says his mother didn’t fear death
Michael Graczyk, Associated Press Updated 11:54 am, Wednesday, April 18, 2018 Now Playing: Barbara Bush, the snowy-haired first lady whose plainspoken manner and utter lack of pretense made her more popular at times than her husband, President George H.W. Bush, died Tuesday. She was 92. (April 17) Media: Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — Former President George W. Bush said Wednesday that his mother, Barbara Bush, didn't fear death because she believed in an afterlife and that she would be "wonderfully received in the arms of a loving God." Barbara Bush, who died Tuesday at age 92 at her home in Houston, was "warm and wonderful, until you got out of line," her son added while appearing with his wife, Laura Bush, on the Fox Business Network. Other relatives also described her as the family "enforcer" while her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, pursued careers in the Texas oil business and, later, politics and public service.

George W. Bush says he was comforted by his mother’s faith in the days before her passing
Former President George W. Bush paid tribute Wednesday to his late mother Barbara for her spirituality — and her comedy. Bush, accompanied by his wife Laura, said in a Fox News interview that his mother — who opted earlier this week for “comfort care” over medical treatment — was at ease as he faced mortality. “She had great faith,” said the 43rd president. “She truly believes there’s an afterlife, that she’ll be wonderfully received in the arms of a loving God, and therefore did not fear death.” The former First Lady’s strength made it easier for him to deal with her passing, said Bush. Barbara Bush’s family and friends mourn her death “As a result of her soul being comforted on the death bed, my soul is comforted,” he said. Bush said he and his wife visited with his ailing mother about a week before her death and spoke with her on the phone Tuesday … [Read more...] about George W.
