Please Don't Shoot Barbara Bush

Because that would be too kind. I'm thinking proper handling of Babs was nicely expressed by Billmon a couple of days ago: put her in a chain gang and stick her on the levee repair crew. Or dump her in a 9th Ward attic for a few days--without food or water:

NEW YORK 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, "This is working very well for them."...

The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.

In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing 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."

Like I said, please don't shoot her. The public stockade would be plenty sufficient--and all the rotten fruit and vegetables in the city's refrigerators would make excellent items to throw at her.
