Barbara Bush frequently swam in the pool; in 1990 a rat swam past her and was subsequently drowned by her husband, 41st President George H.W. Bush. Bush said that she "[swam] with a mask, and it just went right by in front of me...Fortunately, George Bush was there and drowned the beast. It was horrible"

Killing rats is the norm, although a little... old-fashioned to do it with your hands.

i'm picturing something like the beginning of the House of Cards pilot

Bush slowly strangling the rat. "I have no patience for useless things."

They were in a pool. Would you rather him krush it in an explosion of blood, or have security shoot it from the sidelines.

Regardless of pain/suffering, squeezing a big ass rodent until it explodes would kome off as infinitely more "barbaric" than simply holding it underwater, even if this wasn't in a pool. Lol @ shooting it while it's a few feet from the first lady.

No one thinks drowning is pleasant, but you'd have to look it up or nearly experience it to get an idea of how bad it is. Meanwhile the other is literally a fatality anyone would expect from Conan the Schwarzenegger. I bet it's eyes would pop out and everything.

I'm not sure whether Bush Sr. was a middle of the road republican who sucked up to Reagan to get to the top or the mastermind conspiracy man who dominated politics in the second half of the 20th century that some people here claim.

Same thing, but "krushing" klearly wasn't getting the right image across on what it would be like if he pressure killed it with his bare hands.

As for seeming more barbaric vs being more barbaric, he was president. He's got an image to uphold. This was 30 years before all this Trump shit. Back then, you actually started losing kampaigns over eating sandwiches, smoking cigarettes, and excitedly going "YEaUGH!".

Never been in such a situation, but I kould see things going there, in a "Tell your friends" kinda way. Sharks are spooked by the smell of dead sharks, and rats are pretty smart, so maybe if I jesus one to a kross, the others will fuck off...
