Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "So Many Of The People In The Arena... Were Underprivileged Anyway, So This Is Working Very Well For Them"...
As I said before, thank God the old Bush lady can't push out any more little shrubs!
