Love, GOP Style: It's A Family Affair Edition

If this story doesn't make you throw up in your mouth a little bit, there's something very, very wrong with you.

Here's the set-up: Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund. . .

Here's the pitch: "Mrs. Bush wanted to do something specifically for education and specifically for the thousands of students flooding into the Houston schools," said Jean Becker, former President Bush's chief of staff. "She knew that HISD was using this software program, and she's very excited about this program, so she wanted to make it possible for them to expand the use of this program."

Perhaps you're thinking "Matt Sandwich, you bastard! At a time when dead bodies are still being recovered in the streets of New Orleans, a nice old lady donates to recovery efforts and you're upset?!?"

Well, here's the punch to the kidneys: Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil.

Nice old lady? Try flaming bitch. This is the same woman who commented on what an improvement life on a cot in the Superdome was for Katrina victims.

P.S.- Did I mention that the donation to her son's business is tax-deductible?

UPDATE: TPM has a few links to stories about what a sham Neal's business is in the first place. It pretty much amounts to Neal-- the Bush family's other incompetent son-- traveling the globe asking for handouts from family-friendly tycoons and officials. "Buy me a pony and I'll tell Georgie you're a nice man."
