Barbara Freakin' Blue-Blooded Bush


The Matriarch of America's First Blue-Blooded Family, Barbara Bush opened her mouth again and another toad fell out.

The Duchess went slumming amongst the Katrina survivors at the Houston Astrodome. Afterwards, the wife of a former president and mother of the current president deigned to speak on National Public Radio about her visit with the peasants.

What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.

Crooks and Liars has the audio, if you can stomach it. Billmon has a photo of the haughty Duchess in her finest. Update: Her Arrogance spoke of her disdain for body bags and such in an interview with ABC-TV's Diane Sawyer on March 18, 2003.
