I realize "housekeeper" is the preferred term these days (I've gotta get with it—I'm old enough to still think of "flight attendants" as "stewardesses," though not old enough to go with "air hostesses"), but I gotta believe the Bushes' longtime housekeeper was once called their maid.

At any rate (and I'm sure it wasn't enough!), their housekeeper Paula—not Mrs. Bush herself—was the one who put Mrs. Bush's miscarried fetus into a jar and later showed it to young George W., thus somehow making him anti-choice for life. This despite the fact that Mrs. Bush is herself pro-choice...and it was her fetus!

I don't know what's weirder, a woman who saves her fetus in a jar to show her son, or a woman who doesn't realize that her housekeeper has saved her fetus in a jar until the day it's shown to her son...and then doesn't freak out and fire the insane staffer on the spot.

Still, it continues to be spine-tingling how reasonable the older Bushes sound in comparison to most other Republicans these days, even if they're collecting fetuses in jars.
