Vermont LTTE: Barbara Bush, NOT a good role model
Barbara Bush: Not a good role model

September 16, 2006

So, Martha Rainville thinks that Barbara Bush is a good role model for the women and children of Vermont?

Well, after her comment implying that living in squalid conditions at the Astrodome was "working very well" for the refugees from Katrina who had lost everything, I can't agree with that. In fact, I see this woman as ill-mannered, arrogant, overprivileged and out of touch. In other words, a perfect representative of everything her son and his cronies have inflicted upon our country. I sincerely hope my daughters have more class, more graciousness and more empathy for their fellow human beings.

1. Or let them eat cake
Babs also said she never would use her beautiful mind by looking at our war dead.

These elitists do not do "ugly". They expect the working class to do so.

Great letter.

5. Except that Babs has got to be
one of the ugliest bitches on two feet. (No insult intended to the four legged ones)

11. She said it would be a WASTE of her beautiful mind to do
so--which I think is much worse!

And she called Geraldine Ferrarro a "rhymes with witch" when Ferrarro ran for VP.

2. Good find, short, sweet & simple... K & R
Cecile sounds like a maternal role model herself, the complete anti-thesis of the condescending Babs. SG
