R.I.P.: ‘Willie’ the White House Kitty

STATEMENT BY PRESS SECRETARY SALLY MCDONOUGH
The President, Mrs. Bush, Barbara, and Jenna are deeply saddened by the passing of their cat India (“Willie”). The 18 year-old female black American Shorthair died Sunday, January 4, 2009 at home at the White House.
When Barbara was nine years old, she named India after the former Texas Ranger baseball player, Ruben Sierra, who was called “El Indio.” When Barbara and Jenna moved away to college, India, affectionately called “Kitty” by the family, stayed at the White House with the President and Mrs. Bush.
India was a beloved member of the Bush family for almost two decades. She will be greatly missed.

#22. Barbara Bush…#5. Sophia Bush

Someone in Seattle has compiled a list of ‘the 25 Hottest Woman of 2008’…
It’s an interesting compilation since the woman we consider a very ‘It’ girl in Hollywood right now, Blake Lively, is last on the list…there are three Bushs’ on the list (don’t get us wrong, that Barbara Bush twin floats our boat)…and according to the author, “Being hot has a lot to do with how a woman carries herself and, to me at least, also how smart she is…” but, Kellie Pickler, Kim Kardashian and Scarlett Johannsson are in the top 10!
