Too Good to Miss
Just got to pass this one along. Six cousins of the dear President say that "Blood is thinner than oil"and urge support of Kerry at Bush Relatives for Kerry.
"Bush Relatives for Kerry" grew out of a series of conversations that took place between a group of people that have two things in common: they are all related to George Walker Bush, and they are all voting for John Kerry. As the election approaches, we feel it is our responsibility to speak out about why we are voting for John Kerry, and to do our small part to help America heal from the sickness it has suffered since George Bush was appointed President in 2000. We invite you to read our stories, and please, don't vote for our cousin!Posted by rowan at October 20, 2004 10:20 PM | TrackBack | [eMail this article!] |
No Cash For Dead-Beat Relatives:
That was my gut instinct upon reading the opener for this piece - probably some dead-beat relatives who at one time tried to hit him up for a loan.
I think Ol' George is behind this - it makes him look all too human - as if most Americans don't have some relatives they don't think much of, and visa-versa - gimme' a break - I've got a couple of cousins who are real jerks and I can only imagine what they say about me.
As a vote swaying piece, this gets an F, but not an F-. Georgie probably signed a death warrant on some spouse of some 3rd cousin for all we know - one of my cousins I mentioned should be hung, but hey, that's just my opinion -

I bet they are Pi**ed at not being invited to the White House - you know, cousin Harry, married to Bush Senior's 4th cousin Martha in 1958 - then there is the step grandson of 3rd cousin Albert on Laura's side of the family - the little rascal was born a Yankee in Maine and expected to sit beside Laura at the inauguration ball - and 4th step cousin Tillie who is in a nursing home and that rotten George has never even bothered to pay a visit and bring her candy! A family will turn on one of their own when miffed, that's for sure.

Since I didn't even own a TV set until I was 38 years old, I have no technical advice for rowan regaring bob the spammer. Telling rowan to knee him in the groin is not technical advice and I don't think she/he would be inclined to do so anyway even if bob were encountered in person.

Well, what oil baron would want a bunch of rag-tag share-croppin' kin in their bib overalls coming up to the mansion putting their brogans under the table and messing up the fancy table linens??
You can't blame them for being mad at George. Even I have to laugh at this one.
What's kind of creepy is that according to this: http://msn.ancestry.com/landing/strange/bush4/tree.htm, Bush and Kerry are distantly related.
