I'm Seeing Red

Remember when George Bush Sr. was running for a second term? Because everyone knew he was a spineless wimp and a clueless silver-spoon turkey, the RNC spread his wife Barbara all over the media. She was everyone's pearl-wearing, laugh-line-decorated, stand-by-her-man grandmother, and if you voted for Poppy you got her too, remember?

Well, here's what Grandma Barb had to say about the poverty-stricken victims of Hurricane Katrina who were lucky enough to find haven in Texas for a while, many of them with volunteers who offered them hospitality when state and federal government would not do so.

My God, this is what Dubya grew up with, saw and heard every day of his youth. And I used to wonder why he never seemed to develop a conscience. With that waiting for me after school, I'd start drinking too.

Shame on the whole lot of them.
