In Our Face Part III: Poor People are Yucky

If y'all are worth your salt, you either already know or would love to hear (go CNN!) that Barbara Bush blew the cover on her son's faux-homey-country accent to reveal the 'old silver spoon we know is indeed quite well lodged... in various places.

In an interview on National Public Radio:

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas."

Thousands of hurricane refugees were sitting on or near their green army cots, perhaps thinking of lunch, presumably waiting to be fed something hearty. Anything but cake.

"Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality...And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

Yuck yuck yuck. Even avid Republicans like this journalist-- who usually defend Bush under any circumstances given some good Rove spin-- are finding it hard to get back on the wagon after Barbara was at it:

I was all set to defend President Bush as a guy who really doesn't want poor black people in Louisiana and Mississippi to die of starvation and disease, no matter what the Democrats say.

But then Barbara Bush, the president's mom, went and dusted off the Bush family silver foot Monday. And she used it.

The Right Establishment has revealed what they are. For ten days now. Don't let Rove reverse the tide again. They've given their necks on a silver platter. For goodness' sake, go Dems, go go go.
