Wonkette: Bush Twins Unemployment Index: May Edition

Bush Twins Unemployment Index: May Edition

The Consumer Price Index is rising. The Federal Reserve Board is expected to increase short-term interest rates tomorrow. But perhaps the most troubling economic indicator these days is the alarmingly static Bush Twins Unemployment Index. If you're a poor kid and you can't get a job, well, it's probably because you're lazy and you don't have the right clothes. But if your dad is the most powerful man in the world and you still can't get a job, even though you graduated from prestigious universities eleven months ago, well, something is definitely wrong with the economy. —

1. Must be nice

5. snark
they're definitely being groomed for Dad's non-job(s). They should at least make a pretense of running an oil company (into the ground) or volunteering at a DC school.

Can we please get the Clintons back in the WH - all class.

2. Sign Them Up For Military Service
President wants to show how right this war is, send your own children over there, then tell us what you think....

3. There's always the military.
Hey, George, want to boost recruitment.

How 'bout signing Jenna and Barb with Uncle Sam's army. You'd not only get them out of your hair and onto their own two feet but just imagine what it'd do for recruitment. Why it might become fasionable for pro-war Republicans to volunteer to serve their countries.

Sounds like a plan to me.

9. Yesterday a father of a soldier who had just been killed inaction in Iraq
told the reporter during his interview something like, if its patriotic for my son to die in Iraq, its patriotic for the Bush daughters to as well. Why aren't they or Cheney's kids serving?

This was in san Jose on local tv.

6. Thanks to Wonkette for reminding us the Bush family is unemployable!
They'll also get a nice "inheritance tax" break when mommy & daddy kick for all their years of "hard work"

Freakin' Skanks! Hope they get knocked up soon.

10. Maybe they could pump some gas
as a way to distract people from the high prices. You know, the twins could wear halter tops and Jessica Simpson short shorts and pump gas in a different state each day.

Odd how that never actually happened.

14. We No Longer Have a Republic
You know how you can tell?

The Bush twins aren't in the military in Iraq.

Look at the difference between this current joker, and Teddy Roosevelt.

Teddy Roosevelt required his children to serve in the military, and no, it was not a stateside National Guard position.

What would really frost the fundies and the right wing would be for Chelsea Clinton to enlist. Talk about watching their heads explode.
