George W Bush's mother troubles

It's hard to believe it was only one year

ago that George W Bush was re-elected President.

Since then he seems to have lost almost

every single friend. Even his own family.

One Popbitch reader was at a Texas dinner

party recently and sat next to a friend of

Barbara Bush, Dubya's mother. Over the meal

she confided that the Bush family only ever

called the President by his rather patronising

family nickname, "Junior". And that on a

recent hunting trip she'd asked Barbara what

George was like.

"Junior? Hmmmm..." Barbara apparently sighed.

"He's not like the rest of us."

Mrs Bush's friend leant towards our source

to explain. "Here in Texas... that means

he's stupid."

(FYI: Actually Bush does have one fan - 50 Cent. He's been defending the President this week from Kanye West's attacks, saying, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. People responded to it the best way they can.")
