Magazine accidentally posts biting obit of 'colorless' George Bush

12/30/2012

Someone on the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel website presumably suffered a finger spasm Sunday, which caused an unfinished and inelegant obituary of ailing former president George H.W. Bush to be briefly published. The piece went live right around the time that Bush, whose health has improved in the past few days, was moved out of intensive care. The unkind obit zings included describing Bush as "a colorless politician" whose character only looked good in hindsight when compared to his gaffe-prone and much-vilified son's time in office. One assumes Bush will use the remainder of his hospital downtime memorizing a series of "your mama" comebacks in German. [Source]
