Barbara Bush’s worst nightmare

Fewer than half of all New Orleans evacuees living in emergency shelters in Houston said they will move back home, and two-thirds of those who want to relocate planned to stay for good in the Houston area, according to a survey by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health.
It looks as if things aren’t working out so well for Barbara Bush.

    Just what are you trying to tell us here? That Barbara Bush doesn’t want any NO refugees parking in Texas? Do you have any proof that that is indeed the case concerning Barbara? Any links? Anything other than your unsupported input?It seems to me that Barbara Bush was one of the first to welcome the refugees to Texas. This is nothing more than a bait blog, pure and simple. Go stand in the corner.

    She was accused at looking down her nose at the evacuees. The whole Bush clan is out of touch with the average American, I guess that’s what happens when you’re royalty.

    Melissa is a Liberal? This is the typical leading question most of them use to start smearing folks when they can’t find any facts. I don’t know which is most offensive, the Extreme left wing Post and their lying Survey or the fact our sweet Melissa has joined them.

    Here is the comment attributed toBarbara Bush: “What I’m hearing which is sort ofscary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone isso overwhelmed by the hospitality.

    “And so many of the people in the arena here, youknow, were underprivileged anyway, so this–this (shechuckles slightly) is working very well for them.”

    Scary?

    I seriously doubt that we will be seeing Babs rolling the Welcome Wagon around in Tx. Not in the neighborhoods where these people will end up living anyway.

    Hardly takes any effort to get the fever swamp churning up its putrid gasses. Comes from eating so much crow.

    The one thing you can say about the French; they have a pretty good solution for arrogant royalty! Bastille-West-at-Crawford is already surrounded.

    Vlad–”the 50 or so trolls” are all one troll.

    Gail, Scribe, Cat4, Ahmad and many many others.

    Same duffless, same MO, different names.

    We just call him “Puny.”

    The funny thing is, if Puny got within 150 feet of any of the Bushes, they’d have security muscle him out of their line of sight and back to the holding pens.

    But conservatives never have lost their self-loathing adoration of aristocracy . . .

    Dooda? We all know what that’s a euphemism for! Probably the most aptly-named troll around.

    Please don’t refer to people made wealthy by walking on their fellow countrymen as aristocracy.
