The Nero News Service (as the world burns) has learned that President W's mom, Babs Bush, visited the New Orleans refugees staying at the Astrodome during the vacation in Texas (the refugees, not the Bush's). The New York Post quotes her saying, "So many of the people here . . . were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."
It seems that the holy mother has a heart of gold and deep feelings of compassion for the underserved. Perhaps this is where her son learned to be compassionately conservative.
Many of the travelers staying at the stadium remembered how Ms. Bush had her legs smashed by then President HW Bush when she threatened to demand that his adminstration support women's reproductive rights and ability to obtain safe and legal abortions. At the time, it was reported that the 1st Lady fell off of the front porch of their Kennybunkport home in Maine. The baseball bat in the President's hand was a dead give away though.
Now, Babs, as the refugees affectionately refer to the babbling old fool, is less strident."People came up to me all day long and said, 'God bless your son,' all races," she said. Fortunately, Ms. Bush didn't know about the New Orleans tradition of saying "god bless" when you don't have anything kind to say about someone.
